Hey guys!
This is my first post on here. I'll start by saying I don't know much about style. I have trouble following many of the terms in the posts I have read so far. I run a high performance car fabrication shop, so I do not get to dress up very often. I do think I can tell when something looks bad, but sometimes I'm scared to break rules that are not obvious to me right away.
Over the years, I have aquired a 2 cheapish suits and a few decent ties, and 3 shirts. Yes 3.
Long story short, the shop is having some trouble as of late, and I have an interview for a new job in a completely different field. (Tech support for a major telecom company).
So here's the fun part. You get to tell me I suck
Basically, I have the following "inventory" :
- 1 black pinstripe suit, with matching vest. Fits okay.
- 1 grey suit
- 1 pair black pinstripe pants, with jeans-style front pockets
- 1 charcoal shirt
- 1 orange shirt
- 1 medium blue shirt
I have decided to try the black pinstripe pants (not the ones from the suit), the charcoal shirt, and the suit jacket from the grey suit. I was surprised, I think it looks nice. But I'm not sure enough about if it all works together.
If you would be so kind to help me out here, my questions are :
1) Are the charcoal shirt and grey suit jacket too close in color to wear together?
2) Do the pinstripe pants work with the grey jacket?
3) Does this tie work with the package?
I appreciate you guys taking the time to look at this!
Thanks,
