First, I have a black pin srtiped suit, and wanted to know if it would be fine to wear a white shirt with a thin vertical light blue stripe, or if you think that would be “too busy”(too many stripes). If you think it wouldn’t be a problem, then what color ties might one be able to wear with this combination? Thanks.

Should I dress more professionally than my superiors?

I’m starting a new job, a professional one, but surprisingly most of my superiors rarely wear ties or strictly business clothes. They certainly don’t wear jeans but I’m used to looking more professional and want to convey my work ethic in my presentation. I’m concerned, however, that dressing more professionally (and I’m just talking about a standard business suit) than them could cause them to think that I somehow view myself as better or something stupid like that. Am I just being paranoid, or what is the best way to approach this? Thanks

terryt asked:

I need a suit for an upcoming business trip. Three days. I’ll probably wear it twice (dif. shirts/ties each time). What color can I best pull off twice?

Also, I’ll need this suit for life in general. I tried on black and I think it looked great, but then someone suggested that black was no good. Help!

Ryan D asked:

Does anyone ever notice that there are women that wear business seats and sometimes even a tie when working in a movie theater, at a hotel, or any office. Why can women wear business seats and dress like men but MEN CAN NEVER DRESS LIKE WOMEN?!!! I never see a man in a skirt or a dress unless he is gay. Shorts yes for men but not skirts. And men don’t wear brawls either.

What if someone did see a man wearing a dress though? Wont that be odd? It certainly isn’t odd for women to wear a suit and tie!

I admit not being fashion sensible when it comes to dressy or formal wear but why is it so hard to find a nice light solid color double breasted suit? Now it days it seems everythings patterned or multi colored or striped. And even if I find a color I like again there’s some sort of pattern & I’m a plain simple guy just give me a solid light colored suit. What’s so wrong with light or even solid colors ties or suits or whatever its all dark all striped or patterned & so on.
I checked out a few sites & the only solid color tie I could find was Black or what looked like blood red sorry but (wth). Ok Black I guess can go with most everything but red & deep red. Ok maybe its me & again my inability to have dressy fashion sense but what happened to the days of solid suits. Am I that behind on the times that solid color non striped or patterned ties & suits are now out? Maybe I’m to picky but if just figure if I buy one & especially if I pay a good amount of money I might as well like wearing it & feel it works for me & I’m told that I look better in lighter colors. When Blue & green I’m told bring out my eyes but can’t say I found a suit in those colors that works on me. They might personal opinion & my fashion sense tells me other wise LOL. I dont mind some small pattern on a tie but especially the suit part I am firmly solid or nothing lol well ok give me my thuggish baggy pants. :)
