**jbss71** · April 5th, 2009, 05:55 PM

i have a few real interviews coming. it might be time to step up to a suit since they are high end jobs

**Rob** · April 5th, 2009, 06:06 PM

Where do you live, and what is your budget?

**George Jung** · April 5th, 2009, 06:09 PM

Charcoal suit, black leather belt, black leather dress shoes (not boots, not sketchers- shoes), nice watch, white shirt, red tie. Can't go wrong with that.

edit: leather Belt, not tie. Sorry. Thanks, Nick.

**Mannix** · April 5th, 2009, 06:10 PM

Black suit, black tie, black loafers, black fedora, and black Ray Bans. Can't go wrong.

Leather tie? Seriously?

**Rob** · April 5th, 2009, 06:12 PM

He meant belt.

**Nick** · April 5th, 2009, 06:16 PM

That makes sense. Didn't see where he mentioned red tie.

Check out Macy's. Get measured. Make sure you go with a two-button jacket and try to get flat-front slacks. Charcoal is the best color, because it's slightly more versatile than navy. A trimmer style is more contemporary.

A 747!?!? We can't afford to lose any 747s, especially just for one house. Send a couple of naggers.

If it's a high end job, I'd really work on knowing the difference between cloths and clothes

Why a two button vs a three button? Just curious, I really have no idea.

Three button is a bit more 90s. Two button is more conservative and trendy... somehow.

Two-button has always been the traditional style, and it only took a "back seat" to three-button jackets in the 1990s, which rose in popularity. There's nothing wrong with a three-button jacket, but two-button ones have regained ground as the more popular style.

Since it's always been a staple regardless, it's your best bet.

Cloths are more closely related to threads.

**Blaydeman** · April 5th, 2009, 10:17 PM

Nick needs his fashion site back up with Rob as a mod

It shows your competitive nature. Bosses love that kind of s***.

They make ties for sport teams?

Even I know that s*** is tacky.

Since you don't know how to dress yourself, I guess you're saying that you have less than no brain?

If I have less than no brain, and I could give someone the same exact advice, what does that say about you?

I can dress myself just fine... just because I choose not to wear a corporate monkey suit doesn't mean I don't know how to dress.

**George Jung** · April 6th, 2009, 10:51 AM

You don't know how to dress yourself.

If you get a three-button jacket, make sure to leave the bottom one unbuttoned.

Same thing with a 2 button suit.

I figured as much, but I wasn't 100% on that.

**89BB** · April 6th, 2009, 11:43 AM

Oh - and unbutton the jacket when you sit

**George Jung** · April 6th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Good point, many people miss that. Button it when you stand up, too (unless you're just standing up for a quick moment).

Definitely can't go wrong with that, it's a pretty classic combo. Personally i think a navy suit looks better with the red tie, but like Rob pointed out, the charcoal is a bit more versatile.

I'm not going to go through this f***ing retardo mill again, but I know plenty of people who are quite well to do (moreso than anyone here) who don't ever wear a suit. I think it's more a case that you are all a bunch of conformist sheep that believe there's only one way of doing things, which is following everyone else.

I know a guy that worked there who retired in his 30's and is set for life (I mean like hundreds of millions)... he has a multicolored mohawk, piercings and tattoos everywhere, and he lives in a huge house and drives a totally bad ass Porsche Carerra 4. But you'd swear he was some unemployed derelict from looking at him.... and he looked like that the whole time he worked for Microsoft.

s***, the lead singer from my old band retired when he was 36... and he is a multi-millionaire also.

My old boss went to work for Amazon before IPO... retired at 38. She wore jeans and a t-shirt to work every day.

My friend Kelly retired after 23 years at Microsoft, a multimillionaire also. He looks like some broke redneck dude, and has a totally wicked blown C5, and lives in a million dollar house on 10 acres...

They're all better off than every single one of you.

I'm sure he never wore a suit

There are richer people on this forum, several actually.

No one is saying you need to wear a suit+tie to go for a jog or even to work everyday. A man should be able to dress himself in a suit when appropriate though.

He didn't. Microsoft didn't pay him millions of dollars.... Microsoft stock he earned while working there ended up being worth millions of dollars. You'd see me in a suit before Kelly would even think of putting one on.

Yeah, but as far as I'm concerned that "when appropriate" is NEVER.

And I have worn a suit before.
