Line 28:
* [[El Hazard|El Hazard's]] would-be ruler, [[Laughably Evil|Katsuhiko]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Jinnai]], is never seen without his school uniform: [http://www.hamanime.de/pix/anime/elh/jinnaidiva.jpg a snappy suit and tie.] Bonus points for stylin' by usually keeping one hand in his pocket, leaving the other free to straighten his necktie.
* ''[[Lupin III]]'': Lupin and Jigen Daisuke. Oddly enough, while both of these men dress well, Lupin is too much of a [[Handsome Lech]] to pull it off and Jigen's fangirls are all in the audience as opposed to the Lupin-verse. Either that or they want to kill him. Or they die. [[The Gunslinger]]'s got no luck with women...
* ''[[Baccano!]]'': Being set in 1930's [[Gangsterland]], what were the chances that the show wouldn't [http://pics.livejournal.com/poutmeter/pic/00020ec2/s640x480 use] [http://i76.servimg.com/u/f76/11/36/00/85/ladd_r10.jpg this] [[media:ricandchris1.jpg|trope]] like a horribly addictive drug?
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'': Giovanni. And Cilan. Don't forget Riley and Steven Stone!
** Also, Maxie, albeit with a specially-made uniform. Archie also has a nice suit.
* Shota example: Makube Rokuro from Tezuka's ''Vampires''. He keeps the look as he gets older. He appears as an [[Expy]] in works like ''[[Black Jack]]''.
Line 37:
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': Any of the suits worn by Takemichi or his teacher Gateau.
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' is a show set in the [[Roaring Twenties]], so of course most of its men are dressed in classy suits.
* The tenth movie of ''[[One Piece]]'' didn't really need to put everyone in classy suits. Was it amazingly awesome? Yes.
** Well, about the tenth movie, [[Justified Trope|there]] ''[[Justified Trope|was]]'' [[Justified Trope|a dresscode]].
** Sanji in general. [http://planetrenders.net/renders/albums/userpics/11489/Sanji.png Observe.]
Line 44:
* The most casual thing you ever see [[Monster (manga)|Johan]] [[Complete Monster|Liebert]] wear is a grey sweater, which he wears after getting out of the hospital following a massive [[Villainous BSOD]].
** There was also that cute clubbing dress with the magic make-you-shorter heels. And the wig, obviously. Despite the heels, it was a pretty casual outfit.
* ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'': November 11 is always either impeccably dressed or [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper|naked as a jaybird]].
* In ''[[Durarara!!]]'', Shizuo's inexplicable [[Limited Wardrobe|inability to wear anything other than impeccably tailored bartender suits]] is something of a running gag.
** He was given several dozen copies of the outfit by his rich younger brother who hoped that it would encourage him to keep his current job for longer than few weeks. It didn't work, but Shizuo keeps wearing the suits out of respect for him.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' gives us [[The Gunslinger|Death]] [[The Smart Guy|The]] [[Made of Diamond|Kid]], son of the [[Grim Reaper]], who is a teenager in a [[Super OCD|perfectly symmetrical]] suit.
* Michio Yuki and Detective Meguro from ''[[MW]]''.
Line 80:
* ''[[Circle of Magic]]'': Niklaren Goldeye. He's a male character in a work by [[Tamora Pierce]], so natural [[Author Appeal]], and a bit of [[The Dandy|a dandy]]. Briar might count too, simply because his foster-sister Sandry, an avid seamstress, wouldn't allow him to leave the house in any other mode of dress.
* Howl in ''[[Howl's Moving Castle (novel)|Howl's Moving Castle]]'', even before one of his suits gets ([[Achievements in Ignorance|accidentally]]) enchanted by Sophie.
* Book 2 of "[[The Kingkiller Chronicle]]" gives us this gem from Count Threpe: "know a lady by her manner, a man by his cloth." when advising Kvothe to stay fashionable abroad.
* ''[[The Great Gatsby]]''.
* In ''[[Time Scout]]'' It turns out Malcolm's quietly a clothes horse. His favorite persona for Victorian London is as an eccentric globe-trotting gentleman and he has to keep up with changing styles. Contrast [[Ancient Rome]], where he's usually a collared slave, which is how he was dressed in the opening.
Line 87:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[Project Runway]]'': Tim Gunn is quite the ([[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|gay]]) silver fox in his go-to shirt and tie combo.
* In ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', Stephen Colbert's suits are a major part of his personality. In one sketch, he reveals that beneath his suit is another suit.
** In other segments, he's had suits tailored for specific purposes, like one with a hoodie for his [[Cooking Duel|rap battle]] against Michael Steele.
Line 97:
* Spoofed with Cat in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' who goes to absurd lengths to protect his clothes, even above protecting himself and others from physical harm.
* ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (TV series)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'': I say, most of the male cast. In Bertie's case it's only by Jeeves' best efforts.
* ''[[Torchwood]]'':
** Jack in his "period military."
** Ianto Jones.
{{quote|'''Jack''': "Also looks good in a suit."}}
* ''[[Doctor Who]]''
** Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor thinks he's this, but looks more [[Adorkable]] than anything else. In real life though, his off-beat clothes have been endlessly copied by young men around the world ([[The Red Stapler|especially]] [[Bow Ties Are Cool|the bow tie]]).
** David Tennant as The Tenth Doctor.
Line 175:
== Webcomics ==
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'': Dr. McNinja is almost never seen in anything other than his lab coat, dress shirt, tie, and ninja mask. One almost wonders if [http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p73/ that's why he will feel terrible for the rest of his life about] ''[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p74/ this.]''
* Pretty much most of the guys in ''[[Lackadaisy]]''. [[Career Killer|Mordecai]] and [[Nice Guy|Sedgewick]] especially.
* There has yet to be a man who ''isn't'' well dressed in ''[[Todd Allison and The Petunia Violet]]''.
* Given the opportunity to upgrade their equipment through punchcard-based alchemy, both John and Dave of ''[[Homestuck]]'' prove to be fond of suits. Dave's [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/index.php?s=6&p=003734 FOUR ACES SUITED and PLUSH PUPPET TUX] deserve particular mention.
