Suit/ Tie/ Shirt Colors

suits

keep your suits pretty basic... few blue, few grey...

focus on ties..... not too loud

I got 5-7 white and about 15 blue in various shades and styles...

I buy a lot of ties and try to mix it up... all follow the same basic lay out but different colors...

just try new things..... and see what works... its your style but try not too be too loud

interview

I find that everyday attire differs from interview attire, since you obviously want to send a certain message when interviewing for a job

what combo would you wear with a charcoal suit for an interview

interview

white shirt, no french cuff, red or blue tie... flat is better in shade

Why are french cuffs frowned

Why are french cuffs frowned upon so much? Do they give off a pompous vibe? I find them to look very sharp and I enjoy wearing them. Obviously from what I have read and heard I would not wear one to an interview, but I would like too . . .

I actually like them

I am wearing some now but I have already been in my role for 1.5 years. I always looked at it like you dont want to show up the person interviewing you. I tend to follow the KISS approach to interviewing.

I don't think they give off

I don't think they give off a pompous vibe as long as the outfit is still conservative, especially the links. Nothing in bright colors, goofy patterns, dollar signs, etc. and you should be okay. As long as it's in good taste and makes you look conservative and professional, I'd say go with it

You are a fucking douche. You probably also think that going to the club and "getting a bottle" is the most baller thing possible.

Good one . . . I hate clubs

Good one . . . I hate clubs anyways, not much of a dancer or a guido. So being an internet tough guy is cool?
