My parents run a business in downtown los angeles and I usually would help them out when I was not busy with school. Now that Ive finished school I have now assumed a more full time position at their company and my parents want me to dress more formally since they have given me business cards with my name and job title on them ‘deputy administrator’ (which is pretty much like assistant manager) and I am now on the company payroll and am now being payed like everyone else (i receive a company check every 2 weeks).

Today i dressed myself with these items: light blue long sleeved shirt, dark blue neck tie, belt, gray business casual pants, and black business casual shoes. Now my dad is insisting I also wear a suit coat to work everyday but I honestly just feel like a snob if I wear the suit coat on top of what im already wearing, especially for a kind of young person (im 23) like myself…

So what do women think if they see a young guy like me in a suit? would you think I’m a snob or something?

I have an interview for a business co-op position at a large company tomorrow and don’t own a suit. In the past I’ve worn my dad’s suit but the arms are slightly too short. Since I rarely wear a suit, it also makes me feel really uncomfortable and awkward. For these reasons, I think I may be better off wearing just a nice pair of dress pair of black dress pants, shoes, shirt and tie. Is this uncommon or is my thinking completely rational. It’s also going to be 95 degrees out.
