Can anyone recommend any shirts/ties to go with the above? I'm struggling to find anything that matches

Bamelin here. You may remember me from such threads as "Interviewing at a company with no dress code -- what to wear?"

As it turns out I passed the phone interview and have been asked to come in for a sit down. Company is fairly corporate but TECH corporate (no dress code, jeans T ok at work, lattes in the morning, rooftop bbq, on site shower for lunch jogs, flex time etc)

Over the course of 4 hours will be meeting with:

Two Supervisors, Customer Experience
One Manager, Customer Experience
One Director, Customer Experience


So yeah can't screw this up. Somebody in the thread I linked above pointed out this thread to me so I thought I'd post this to see what folks thought. Here is the current fit I put together (obviously everything will need to be ironed/pressed). Will likely put on a black T underneath the Banana Republic shirt.

Tucked or untucked? I thought Tucked would look better but it actually fits better untucked (stomach shows too much when tucked)

Who's the guy doing the MC Hammer tribute?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Untucked, don't wear a visible undershirt, dark brown leathers + black pants doesn't look good. Get better shoes ( probably late for this)

Don't go with the black T underneath? My buddy said it would look better ... shoes match the shirt and belt ... I have an alternate black pair though.

 

[freenudemacusers]

It would look like you are wearing a jumpsuit under you shirt. Also, visible undershirts never look good.

 

[Antagon]

What do you guys do when your wearing a shirt with the top 2 buttons opened up? Have you got undershirts with a v-neck that's deep enough not to show or do you wear no undershirts at all?

Have a hard time finding deep enough v-necks myself and I'd rather wear an undershirt so I don't have to wash my dress shirt after every wear.

I wouldn't go quite that far, a visible shirt under a dress shirt can look ok but you are right not in this situation. There's a whole lot of brown going on there.

Never wear undershirts myself. You could find deep v necks if you look around. How low are we talking here? I think this should be good enough.

Not the typical men's fashion-GAF topic, but I wasn't sure where else to ask. This one is about underwear.

I'm not really satisfied with traditional cotton boxer briefs. They're certainly an improvement over boxers, but the fabric gets stretched out easily and is then no longer supportive. Since I'll likely be starting a new running regimen in the fall, I was looking at something like this:

What do GAFers use? Any good advice?

Compression shorts/briefs/whatever

Took a quick photo with the blazer to revisit this 'length' issue. Does it look too long? One thing I noticed is that the blazer accentuates my thin arms (is it me or do they look too baggy?) making it look odd almost. Advice is appreciated, thanks

Body is ok, but it definitely looks wide and the armholes seem low. Is there a smaller chest size available?

What looks wide, the chest? I cant replace the blazer now but there wasn't a smaller one available at the time

Dude, blue is a super-easy color to pair up with.

• Any shade of yellow, although gold is better with navy and pastel yellow is better with baby blue
• Silver is likewise great with baby blue, and gray with navy
• Orange is a fantastic compliment to blue
• White and navy are beautiful partners

I personally think a tie like this (Absoluteties.com, great and inexpensive) would look great in that outfit you posted:

 

[José Mourinho]

I've searched for about five years for a good pair of jeans. I've yet to be satisfied. I always buy a pair only to get home and hate them.

Last pair I bought were Levi's and they suck balls.

[Lamel]

I'm looking for a gingham casual shirt (navy color preferably). Anything you guys know that is similar to this?

http://www.bonobos.com/po-8791-casual-classic-gingham-navy

That one is from bonobos and is $98...and that's way too expensive for me. Anything that may be similar but cheaper?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm about as street as it gets. It's tough out here living on the mean streets of a gated community.

J. Crew sells them for cheaper.

 

[Zekes!]

Looks like I'm going to have to cop some insoles for those Christian Dior loafers 'cause they're slightly too big. Don't really care because they're awesome and only cost me $50 for both pairs.

[CrazyDogg77]

I appreciate the street because I probably dress more like that. But you always need to be able to pull out a suit.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Number of ck collection suits (good cut for the money) on Yoox for 225 freedom dollars or so.

Landsend.com would be a good place to check out. They got some gingham shirts on sale right now.

 

[Antagon]

Never wear undershirts myself. You could find deep v necks if you look around. How low are we talking here? I think this should be good enough.

Yeah, that would be fine. Deepest I've found in stores are around this though:

Which is not enough.
I'll look around a bit more I guess and skip the undershirts until I've found some.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Could always go online if you can't find anything.
