If you have a different suit, then change. If not, change the shirt and tie like what the others recomended. If they are offering you the job in the interview, then you can dress down a bit. vano

Comment on Should I hold off on business cards when starting a new business? by arthvader

Business cards can be handed out quickly and casually where you won’t have time to fumble for a letter or a brochure. They’re small and discreet.

I wouldn’t scrimp on the quality, either. If you want high-stakes clients, you’d better look like you can handle the money. arthvader

Comment on Is there a way to “winter-proof” formal business attire? by amandamaria1432

You could wear different shoes, yes, if there’s snow this is an especially practical idea because otherwise your shoes will have tons of white on them from the salt residue, it never looks great.

For staying warm, you can find many suits that are double lined for warmth, as the sales people they should be able to direct you to which items are made for cold climates.

I tend to prefer sticking to the outerwear because otherwise it can be uncomfortably warm when you’re indoors. Wool is excellent, go for something rather long, there are many long coats for men that are very nicely tailored and stylized, as well as designed to be very warm. Try them on, if they feel heavy and are made of wool, you should be good =o)

Gloves and scarves will help a lot as well as getting better shoes or boots depending if you’ll be dealing with snow or not. Wool scarves are excellent, and leather gloves are best for warmth.

Hope this helps =o) amandamaria1432

Comment on Proper business casual for a female? by Nerdy Engr Chick

Nerdy Engr Chick — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:44:03 +0000

A suit is business attire… Business casual usually refers to: slacks or business-type skirt-short or long (something you would typically wear as a suit), black is usually best, but gray is also okay, and an nice blouse, and dress shoes. Traditional jewelry, such as: stud earrings and a nice simple necklace, and wedding ring are acceptable accessories. Nerdy Engr Chick
