    Grensons at Bennie's

    two things--1) they seem to be cut on the slender side, I had to go up a halfsize and 2) any word on that new shipment of Grensons? despite the slenderness, I love 'em.

    Dinner party at a partner's house

    Another option would be to wear a shirt (and if you like a tie) under a nice V-neck sweater. I have to say that, as an associate at a law firm, I think the blazer is very conservative--though since I am in NY, perhaps that explains it.

    I assume A&S is Addison and Steele? If not (or if so, I suppose), does anyone have any information about them?

    Sweaters

    I hate to add this in seemingly even post, but.... I think it really depends on your body type, especially the untucked shirttails extruding from under the sweater--it can make your legs look awfully short if you aren't careful. Also, a broad collared shirt extending over a V-neck can be a nice...

    Literature

    I was wondering what suggestions people had on good books that described the tailoring and cobblering process and parts that make up most articles of men's clothing and shoes. Information about the different types of lasts, lapels, collars, etc..... Any thoughts?

    Trousers: where should waisband lay?

    I think it completely depends on your build. I happen to have a rather long torso compared to my leg length and am rather broad through the shoulders and hips. I am 5'11" but only use a 30 inch inseam even on pants about an inch above my hipbones. I would look like an oompaloompa with my...

    Law firm interview attire

    Yet another vote for wearing the suit and tie. It does not have to be the most formal suit in the world, nor should you feel obligated to wear a white shirt (again the most formal), but nothing completely outlandish either....

    Pants,shirt,shoes

    If you are in the NYC area, go to the discount mecca--Century 21. For 150, you'll have ample selection of business casual attire. YSL shirts for about $50, RTW trousers, even shoes for that price.....

    Olive slacks

    I basically agree as well with the above-mentioned colors. I would add, however, that if you are not going to wear a sport coat or other jacket, you could think of a darker brown or other saturated color such as royal blue (even a red, if the tone is right and your skin color lets you wear it).
