I just got hired by a Management Consulting firm that requires wearing a suit and a tie for work. I bought 3 Ralph Ralph Lauren suits. They are 2 button, slim cut, with flat front pants, as I'm looking for "modern" look. I went with black leather balmoral captoes (I've read here they are the most appropiate type for business). The colors I got are solid charchoal, pinstripped navy, and pinstripped gray.
Are the black shoes appropiate with the navy suit? I was thinking of buying a pair of cordovan shoes to go with it. I own also black slip ons that would be of great help when going through airport security, but are this too sloppy for business attire?
My other question is about shirts and ties. I prefer medium or semi-skinny ties, and thinner knots like the four-in-hand, as opposed to the windsor. Is this more modern looking, or should I stick with the windsor (the lapels are kind of thin)? This brings me to the other question about what kind of collar should I be looking for: pointed, medium spread, or wide spread? I was thinking more in the lines of medium spread, maybe even a few pointed collars.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
