My man just got himself a new job. He has always hated the business casual dress code. He wants instead to wear a suit a suit and tie. Is it a bad idea for him to dress that formally when nobody else does.

I used to work in human resources, and I always thought it was too much for people to wear a suit and tie for an interview for low-paying office jobs.
At least I didn’t like it. I wanted to see how they would look everyday. I was more impressed with someone who dressed presentable who I could tell dressed that way on a regular basis. I think I can tell how confortable people feel with what they are wearing, and know if that’s the way they really dress.
Now, I have my own business. I always dress with colorful, bright long-sleeve shirts and pants. I don’t think I have any clothes other than from GAP, Banana Republic, and Perry Ellis. I don’t think I need to dress any better, I don’t even own a tie.

I still interview people. But now, I hate it even more when people wear a suit and tie.

Why do people dress in a way that’s not going to be how they are really going to be dressing?

This is for a job interview!

What is business attire? Suit and tie? Is there a certain type/colour of suit? I only ow one, I wore it to a school formal and wedding, its black, is it suitable?
