ppl has already given some advice in this thread and this prick keeps acting like an asshole and disrespecting everyone.
This is an online forum yes. There are also rules you must follow.
I hope a moderator steps in. I'm not looking forward to read another post from this marsupialed meathead (who is going to get a severe beating someday, or a bullet).


Everyone? No, only people who deserve it. In fact, I'm quite courteous to those offering real advice. Meathead? Hardly. Severe beating or bullet? You sir may have some issues you need to work out.

Honestly, with the attitude exhibited in all threats you started (blowing up and getting rude/insulting whenever someone dared to say a) that your question has been answered already a billion times or b) that the combos/watches/etc. you proposed are not exactly tasteful) you don't need to worry about interview attire. You will get plain and simple fired on the spot when you attack colleagues or supervisors like that. I am surprised your football coach lets you get away with this - unless you have your issues only online and not in real life, which I truly hope for you.

Thanks bud. I'll definitely look into the double vented. That is why I made a special thread because the majority of the people on this forum do not have the build I do, so the generic info isn't relevant to me. Again, thank you for answering my question without being a toolbag.

Shameless self promotion for my 40R and 42R suits listed in my signature. They are great wardrobe stables!

Advice: Navy or charcoal suit, dark brown or black shoes, belt matches shoes, don't call people on SF short or too skinny, they get internet muscles.

FWIW: Wikipedia says the average height of a 20-39 year old white male in the US is 5' 10 1/2". So at 5'11" you really aren't short per se. That said, I'm a hare over 6'0" and I feel short more often than not.

So from top to bottom I need an entirely new interview suit. So what do I need in which pattern, color, etc.
Lets start from the bottom up: I need shoes, socks, the actual suit, shirt, ties, and accessories.
Assume I know nothing about matching or complimenting patterns and colors. I don't want to blend in an interview, but I also don't want to appear flashy and look like a jackass.
So what would you recommend? FYI, Im fairly short (5' 11") normal white skin tone, dirty blonde hair, Athletic build (215lbs) If you need anymore info, let me know. Thanks alot guys.

I find it hard to believe that you've reached the age where you're going for a job interview and have never wore a suit or "dressed up" for any occasion. OK, nevermind that, I'll make it easy. Get a BB catalogue (or something like it) and pick a business suit and just follow what the model is wearing and you'll be safe. Use that as a guide and then buy something in your price range.
And btw, athletic build means slim but solid. 5'11' and 215lb is overweight. There are so many fat people around today that people forgot what is normal.
175lbs is the heavyweight boxing min. Fighters like Rocky Marciano who was your height barely weighed 180 lbs and he was well built.

No steroids that shrink your balls and make you look like a freak. And no muscle bound meathead types who use heavy weights all day long just so they can look like freaks.
