You're too dumb to know what to wear to an interview, you're not sure if a yellow dinner jacket is acceptable funeral wear, this thread is for you.

Please stop cluttering the forum and have fuuma answer all your small timer questions.

I have recently learned that I cannot wear solid navy or gray, light gray of any kind, windowpanes or plaids, fresco, drape, or any cloth heavier than 11 ounces. What does that leave me with?

Step 1: Buy GQ
Step 2: Look at the product placement
Step 3: Buy products suggested in product placement

Individuality not required.

I want to buy clothes that are of the highest quality and perfect fit, but I don't want to spend any money, 10 bucks for a jacket, tops. Also, please give me at least 5 options, because I will shoot down the first 4.

Thanks!

Dark (pee stain resistant) suits (navy, charcoal) with chalk or pinstripes. None of that fancy drape or gay materials that evokes Italian art like fresco. You're 'Merican you gotta show you're not some fancy dresser or office politics will swallow you.

Get a raincoat made of mostly transparent fabric like Romain Kremer makes. Or one of those dior homme cropped ones that barely cover your shoulders if anything.

Only if you get out of your place, you can dress like a viking at home if it's your thing.

Also, how big should the cuffs on my pyjama pants be? And no cuffs for formal pyjamas?
