I am friends with the CEO. I have worked with him over 11 years. We live in the same neighborhood. We have been on vacations together. I guess you could say that I am in the inner circle of the company. We usually pull no punches when speaking to each other.

I can't help but wonder what he would think of this thread. Maybe he actually signed up, given his newfound interest in fashion, and recognizes your story...

What is his favorite movie?

it is actually Pirates of Silicon Valley, a made for TV movie about Bill Gates and Steve Jobbs. We work at a software company.

Doesn't matter. I have not talked bad about him or said anything that I haven't said to him verbally.

He is the smartest person I know. I like and respect him very much. I owe a great deal of my success to him and the opportunities he has created for me.

If have to follow someone, don't follow an idiot.

You realize of course that he is improving his attire because he is going to sell the company to a bunch of investors, right?

Just sayin'

I just watched that last week again. Good film treatment of real life events (R.I.P. Steve Jobs)

Well since you are part of the inner circle the respect between you and your boss is mutual. I'm sure he's probably very appreciative of your assistance. Perhaps suggest he snap some 'before and after' photos of his journey as his wardrobe develops.

If you said you and your boss were good friends in the initial post..then there would be no premise for you thread.

I wasn't wondering what he would think about what you said about him, but just about what you said. You come off as "not management material".

Software company?

I would recommend the CEO to wear blazer/sport coat with oxford shirts and jeans.

Yeah that movie is quite good considering it was made for TV. So cool how Gates sold IBM an operating systemhe did not even have. Also love how it shows what an artist Jobbs was.

He was very appreciative of the advice. He actually liked the comparisons to a waiter, a limo driver etc. It really brought home the reasoning behind my advice.

Wow. I cannot help but feel attacked by your statement. I felt compelled to do some research and read the 29 pots of the man that I do not know that just decided to attack me.

All of your posts are about costco, jos a banks, mailorder asian tailors and such.

Do you remember this post, where you were looking for cheap suit options and I tried, in good faith, to help you:

Anyway, I hope you are a young man that is just starting out in the business world and have great success in your future. I actually just had a moment of silence and honestly prayed that if you work hard you will have much success in life. I also just gave you the benefit of the doubt, decided that you would want to apoligize, then graciously excepted that apology. Not only did I accept it, I humbly said, "Don't worry about it. This kind of **** happens all of the time on the Internet".

That is a good suggestion. I think it would be perfect for the industry that we design software for. I often feel overdressed when meeting clients. For some reason he doesn't want to do jeans.
