    (Extra) Slim fit wool suits in Europe?

    Hi guys, Maybe you can help me out. I'm looking for (extra) slim fit suits. Background info: I'm 193cm 80kg (6"3 177lbs), low bodyfat percentage and I have broad shoulders for my small frame. Because of my job in corporate finance, I have to wear a suit everyday. When I wear regular suits, it...

    Help me to not make a wrong impression at a carreer event in Finance

    Ouch, bold mistake in the thread title, and I'm sure there's more to be found throughout my replies. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll never spell career wrong from now on.. Also I've just subscribed to the Economist, I think (and hope) that reading some well-written articles each week will help to...

    Help me to not make a wrong impression at a carreer event in Finance

    Really cool to hear this from a prof perspective. Thanks for easing my mind on the styling part; the main reason I'm into this, is that the more prestigious events mainly draw people from my age who benefit from old-boys-networks through their families for whom styling etc. is no issue at all...

    Thanks for sharing your insights, this is really useful. And I'm having a good time looking into this stuff - I think it's interesting. The next one will be a tailor made suit by GMRaven. My friend and his brother have such suits, and the look just seems to be on another level compared to...

    Help me to not make a wrong impression at a carreer event in Finance

    Oh, really? It feels a bit wide on the shoulders. It was tailored to fit me perfectly when I was 'bodybuilding' (but not that serious) and weighed 87kg, whereas I weigh 80kg now. Perhaps based on sleeve length? I remember the last time I worn it, I was constantly pulling the sleeves of the...

    Thanks for your input on the tie and shoes - great, burgundy; I now know what to look for. A Google search on burgundy ties delivers a series of great ties, just the deepish red I had in mind! And thanks for your honesty. I also figured that the suit looks a bit oversized now.. Well that's some...

    Help me to not make a wrong impression at a carreer event in Finance

    Thanks for your replies. I've edited in pictures of the jacket and shirt; can I combine this with a deep red tie and dark brown formal shoes (oxfords?) with the same color belt? I've already gotten a response on the shoes/belt, but now I wonder if I can combine this all with a deep red tie. Also...

    Help me to not make a wrong impression at a carreer event in Finance

    Hi! I'd like to introduce myself, I'm a student in my early twenties. From now on, I will go to several carreer events where recruiters of large banks and multinationals like Shell are present. That's all really great, but I have no-one in my network to rely on for some solid style advise.. So...
