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

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

god, jeez, i just want 2 look ~chic~, I thought black was ~chic~

yeah psychologically its seems like u want to mirror their look to signal that you will fit in but dress it up a little to show u respect their power over u

my feeling for a university tech department sweater w tie is right but just not all black, dont be chic

I don't have any other well-fitting monocrhome sweaters that aren't slouchy though, except for this heavy olive-colored French military sweater with 3/4 length sleeves and epaulettes

cld wear diff pants

the only other non-black non-jeans I have are like pumpkin colored. Too fresh?

you should just wear a sweet t shirt that has a joke related to programming languages on it, pants of some kind and new balance 771s

shows you belong

True Life: I'm 27 And Don't Own Any More Khaki-Colored Pants

are the pumpkin pants like bright orange or more in an autumnal pallet

p good tbh

v autumnal imo

I think "pants of some kind" is def sound advice

the autumnal pants cld wrk w black sweater and white shirt imo

not the black tie tho some other color tie

I'll see

for the love of god stevie get some gray pants, the entire rest of your look prob works with gray pants

gray is a key color of pants to be proficient in

yeah I keep wanting to get grey jeans or slacks
problem is I don't do v much clothing shopping these days but my tastes are changing towards a more well-cut minimal thing, akin to Evermore
luckily there's a Uniqlo that just opened in Philly and also a Nordstrom Rack and a Century 21. Part of me is like "maybe you should go after work" but another part of me is like "maybe you should use the time to learn the stuff you embellished on your resume and also not buying grey pants is not going to cost you the job"

if your panel is all IT people it's really not going to make much difference so long as you put the clothes on the right parts of your body

exactly. take a deep breath and put your grey slacks on one arm at a time
