ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i like that outfit

i have a tee with a whale on it that says hawaii

jk i made that up

my whale tee really says "they roam the ocean in peace..." (continued on back) "with no enemy... except man"

i did used to have a tee with a sailboat on that said hawaii and one time i met this girl and she was wearing that tee except it said block island

i wanna wear nerd/joke tshirts to parties and stuff see how 'interestingly boring' i can get my personal look

when i was an 'ironic teen' i had my parents bring me back tshirts from the places theyd go and wear them. had a dope looking one from sao paolo that i particularly liked, kinda modish line drawings of skyscrapers

one time i dressed up as a lax bro for halloween with a jerry bear lax tee and a white cocks cap and boat shoes and everyone was all decided not to dress up this year huh even tho i was carrying a mini lax stick

lol

Haha you got owned xp

:(

What color shirts should I get in case of job interviews? My suits are charcoal and very dark navy. Also ties?

I asked the tailor where I bought my suit and he showed me a purple shirt but that seems weird somehow. Maybe not conservative enough? And white seems unimaginative. And with choices of ties in the equation I definitely need help.

That question seems kind of beneath this thread but I would appreciate any counsel!

white, only white plz, maybe some occasional lines on there but still mostly white, or colors closely approximating white, imho

if u have a dark suit and a white shirt u can wear whatever beautiful tie u want, except one thats the same color as the suit

imaginative is not important, being a cool handsome dude is

i've worn a purple shirt with a dark navy suit for a couple of my medical school interviews, i dont think that color scheme is too flashy or anything

If it's an interview then I would say 1) no solid color ties but 2) solid color w/ texture or pattern is okay 3) nothing weird, man

i'm thinking about going with a white shirt for my next one tho, it's a little safer i guess

its better it looks better colored dress shirts are a scourge

If you do a color you gotta do a pale color

The other way it works is if you walk around with your chest out like this all day

Also that hand can never leave your pocket

oof

ya and i mean obvs anyone who is an advanced user can pull off whatever they want but otherwise keep it simple u know

I'm afraid... these are the rules... the Style Rules

i like a crisp white dress shirt. i dont like a purple shirt. i dont know if this matters to you

I'm afraid... these are the rules... the Style Rules

blue

if i were interviewing for medical school tho i wld wear a shirt/suit with blood all over it

Thanks lag'n. I will reconsider white. And also being a cool handsome dude.

Interesting, k3vin.... how dark was the purple? And what color tie? (I'm not trying to nick your look, just curious!)

I'm a little flummoxed b/c I so rarely ever wear a suit, and never in a situation like a job interview w/ pretty tight parameters of what's appropriate.

xp lol

get some business cards printed up with your name on them then underneath "cool handsome dude", sure to impress!

Thank you for your responses. They means as much to me as your advices b/c they are bringing me down to earth a little.

I'll wear a t-shirt that says that under my shirt and jacket so that I remember.

tshirt over dress shirt imo

that look that screams businessman at event to encourage success in local teens

I'm remember David Foster Wallace's thing about wearing a tuxedo-print tshirt to the formal dinner on a cruise.

the traditional intent of job interview dress is to look neat without having anything about your wardrobe stand out. you don't want to wear anything that could distract the interviewer.

this is a little much imo but prob good advice on the whole.

white shirt is good. either suit sounds good. black shoes. a nice tie with a simple stripe or neat pattern in a darker color is the way to go. nothing too shiny!

a white tie with "fuck you pay me" written in sharpie on it

black shoes.

Oh yeh -- I was thinking about brown shoes (idk what you call it but they're this dark tan, camel? color that I love) w/ either suit. Is that inadvisable?

black shoes/black belt

wear the shit out of that color once you get hired, but black for the interview

it's a lighter shade of purple but its also got v thin stripes alternating purple and white, so it's definitely lighter. the tie is a darker purple with some style, i cant find a picture online but it's a tino cosma

can't go wrong with the classic black suit, lime green shirt, silver tie

i'm buying a new suit for interviews and i'm thinking navy blue suit, white/light ble shirt, burgndy patterned tie, black shoes, etc.

xp idk aboout purple tie. i bought one once and it made me feel like i was one of the penguins back office henchmen or something. maybe go w/ something more conservative if it's a job interview, like burgundy, navy, etc, with a classic pattern. or something transitional like classic but w a subtle contemporary twist.

guys I have an interview on tomorrow for an IT support position!! I was thinking this, but my friend said too much black:

black dockers
black wingtips
tight (in pattern, not in fit) teal-and-black-on-white plaid shirt with a black tie and a v wonderfully-fitting black sweater over it

I will post back w/ a pic later tonight but does this sound okayish or too black????

too black imo

diff shirt & sweater maybe

unless u have some reason to suspect they will particularly vibe to that look

like are u the the goth girl from ncis in this scenario

i thought basic intvw rule is like - wear the most formal version of what would be appropriate for working at this place
