somehow a lot of what you wear make you look short. maybe wear something less slim?

That tie is way too slim and short. (stick with 2.75" width for a more serious interviews). also the pants are too skinny too, especially around the knees (they look like jeans from afar). it may cast a negative image on the interviewee wearing too casual. I would tone it down a little and be on a more conservative side especially when the interviewers can be older.

Baller yes. Good outfit though? IDK. Looks like something my dad would wear. Not a BAD fit, but I can't imagine what dude paid for that

This looks awkward with your proportions, I'd have opted for no tuck. Top half looks fine, but the bottom needs some work.

Really though, scott doesn't look that great in most of what he wears. Junya isn't designing for him.

That's what I was thinking, not a terrible fit, but slimmer and slightly lower rise jeans would make it even better

I don't know what happened here, I was taking a picture and I noticed ******* and balls were just hanging out

aside from socks, belt issues, you need to tell your tailor to make some button-down collars, or at least a collar which isn't stiff as ********* in this photo.

softer collar in a woven fabric would make this fit much better.

sneaker tuck isn't working in this situation. everything else is nice.

Strictly speaking, this isn't streetwear - but I did wear it on the street, walking around to a bunch of interviews in nyc. I also feel like continuing the trend of actual posts, and have nothing else to contribute.

It's a 3-piece w/out the vest, probably could have gone for a fatter tie but felt good about blue.

Oh, and just to continue the glasses debate, I left my face un-blanked. Behold the might of walgreens eyewear!

This suit looks pretty decent. The pants could be shortened a little but overall it looks like a good fit.

Yeah DVN stuff is up my alley of late, I find the women's stuff is much more print-oriented with the men's tending towards patterns (lot of plaid and houndstooth esp. in winter). It is appealing but silhouette isn't really my thing - bottoms are too full-cut and cropped for my taste, same goes for F/W10. I might try that at some point but it's not where I'm at atm. This kind of sums it up for me.

You're thinking right, those don't fit you very well, and those CPs look really really good worn with jeans with a hem ~8" (at my size) or less. They've been my go-to sneak the last little while, very versatile for a patent leather shoe.

This is why it's good to have the same shoe size as a baller.

he is short dude, not his fault. Would be better with a tucked shirt though to at least bring some length back to his legs but he's not going for that aesthetic.

Noted. I keep deluding myself that my legs are long enough for the sneaker tuck. Considering my proportions, are there any situations where it would work?

Point taken, but I dressed similarly to this at all my college interviews and lets just say they turned out pretty well

. In the future however, in more professional environments, I will try to be more conservative. Thanks for the advice.

Yeah. Starve yourself for a few months. No hate, I can't really do it either (soccer thighs) - but there you go. A valiant attempt, though, and the right shoe for the job.
