    Interview clothing advice!

    I'm attending a career fair on Friday, and have several interviews set-up in advance. Any suggestions on what I should wear? Apparently there will be approximately 1000 in attendance, so it's crucial that I look as nice as possible. I have the following (all fitted / tailored): Suits...

    Four-in-hand knot... am I doing something wrong?

    Sorry in advance about the lack of pictures! I've come to the conclusion that I'm not a knot tying natural, given that the FIH seems to work the best. But one thing is bothering me, how the heck do you get the knot symmetrical? If you think of a knot as similar to an upside triangle (let us...

    When and how often do you perform cleaning and upkeep?

    I should be entering the "real world" (I just recently graduated from college, I'm about to begin applying for my first corporate job), within a month or so. That said, I'm curious how often everyone does cleaning and upkeep on their jackets, shirts, pants, ties (iron more than anything), and...

    I need new glasses! Looking for something similar to...

    Rayban Wayfarer's or these http://www.moscot.com/products/NEBB.php Something along those lines. But they run WAY too large. I need something around a 48 or so, not a 52, let alone a 55. Where's the love for those of us with small and lean faces?! Any suggestions? I have a nice pair of glasses...

    Tie clips / bars... yay or nay?

    Are these in style / coming back in style? I really like the look of them. Do they actually serve any purpose though? Besides keeping the tie weighted down, I can't think of any other purpose. Recommendations on where to purchase reasonable (aka <$25) tie clips / bars? I'd like to start with a...

    You can afford 8-10 shirts, what color / designs do you buy?

    Somewhat inspired by the "Your favorite shirt color(s)" thread, I offer this question. I currently have the following: (in my highly annoying 14x34 size) White White w/ black pinstripes (close together) Black Black w/ white pinstripes (close together as well) I'm looking at adding: Light Blue...

    My favorite shoes are 1/2 size too large. What can I do?

    My favorite pair of shoes, ones that I purchased blindly online through a private seller, are about 1/2 size too large. Is there anything I can do to help minimize this? To be more specific, they are a bit too long. My foot has a bit of wiggle room, which I find very annoying. I can live with...

    Where do you wear your pants? Sleeves and cuffs too!

    So how high, or low, do you wear your pants? When searching for my first few suits, the sales associate (who was older, and had apparently worked there for sometime) said that dress pants are to be worn higher than standard jeans. As a 23 year old male, I'm used to wearing my jeans right above...

    College graduation next week, what should I wear?

    Finally the day has come! I'm graduating from college next week. 4.5 years of hard work, 100% financed (paid for, no debts) by myself! Since I'm just getting into the whole suit scene (this will be the first time I've worn one), I'd like some opinions. Below I have two suits. Both 36R, and...

    Skinny Ties... multiple questions

    As a slim man, I feel that skinny ties work better for me. Due to my lack of knowledge (and my inability to find "consensus" style answers from a search), here are a few questions I have... Let me preface this by saying I'm just graduating college (in a week!), and have VERY, VERY limited...

    4 new Pierre Cardin solid ties (that shimmer / glisten)

    These 4 ties, made by Pierre Cardin, are new and unworn. I received them as a birthday gift from my grandma (a nice thought really, just not my style), and they have yet to be worn--haven't dressed up since. They come in 4 colors; an off-white, light blue, red, and light silver. As you can see...

    Undershirts? Do you wear them?

    Being an inexperienced young lad just entering the profession world, I'd like to get your opinions. Up to this point I've never worn an undershirt underneath a shirt. Let it be known that I really don't sweat (seriously, even after the gym), so it has never been an issue. But is this a faux pas...

    Blazer v. Suit Jacket... difference?

    Is there honestly a difference between the two? I've just recently started getting into more "professional" clothing if you will, and am a bit confused. Blazers (or sportcoats) appear to be just jacket separates. Is this right? If I'm buying a jacket to be specifically worn with jeans, or in a...

    Calling all Panerai watch experts. What's with the knock-offs?

    I'm absolutely enamored by the Panerai line of watches, but sadly they are WAY out of my budget (just finishing school... money is fairly sparse). But I'm very intrigued by the so-called knock-offs floating around. An example can be found here...
