You guys and your suit crap and just spouting bullshit that people have told you.  When interviewing for software engineering positions many places including Google and Microsoft discourage wearing of suits.

Tom Roberts taught the worst class I've ever taken, but he's not really a professor, so I don't know if that counts.

That professional development crap? (for engineers)

PPD (DEN325). Worst class on earth.

Yea that class was pointless for someone born with common sense.  Great for the nerds who thought khaki pants, white socks, and brown shoes were acceptable to wear in a job interview.

I have never worn a suit to an interview and gotten a number of offers.  Its an interview not a fashion show.  That is what I tell any candidate I interview at my current job, nobody cares if you own a suit.

They may not care, but for many larger companies this is not true.  Interview for a position at a large company wearing khaki's and a polo, and lets see if they pick you over the guy with the exact same credentials who wore a suit and tie. 

Also, congrats that your company looks past all that.  It's not the common.  If this were a perfect world, people could walk into an interview showing all their tats and piercings without the interviewer using it as judging criteria. 

You will never get a job that you aren't qualified for by looking great, but could easily lose the opportunity for one you are qualified for by being under dressed.  Every man should own a suit irregardless of the need for one in an interview. 

I love wearing suits. Every day at my office is like casual Friday, so I think it would be awesome if we had formal Fridays instead.

I feel the same way.  Love suiting up.  I also look damn good in a suit.

Who the eff doesn't love suiting up?

Oh, yeah, poor people don't.

about 3 inches long 

What color are the shorts? If they are tan, wear a tan shirt and tuck it in. Problem solved.

Wow, the tucks that migrated over aren't even being discreet anymore.

Female: Yasmin Patel (would record channel 8 and touch myself to it)

Male: Chris akelroy (dear god.)

I'm about 99% sure they are boning.

I'm 100% sure.

Yep, I wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly. I was at a house party about a year ago, getting drunk and wasted and stuff, and the next thing I know, god damn Patel and Akelroy walk in. rough ridin' sweet. They separate for some reason, but Akelroy comes over to a group of us, points at Dr. Patel and says (all britishy), "See the girl over there? I'm banging her."

Patel was my chem professor at the time. Akelroy subbed for her at times. Bricks were shat. Also gave me a weird boner.

Never had it.  Seems weird.

Happens during REM sleep, which most normal human beings go through. Keeps you from killing yourself and/or your family. Also, every one dreams. Not everyone stores memories of those dreams.

Casuals:
-Never wear graphic tee's unless you are going to a sporting event. Graphic tee's should not be part of your regular wardrobe.

Define "graphic tee's."  Please give examples of tee's that aren't graphic (other than solid tee's...obv).  Pics are helpful.  tia.

 

Graphic Tee:

High schoolish, riley rattish, epitome of the douchebag.

Non-graphic Tee (or v-neck):

Much more classy, more natural, more mature look. Especially when combined with a nice pair of jeans or even chinos and some nice shoes. Small logos are fine, even preferred if you do indeed want to add a bit of spice to the shirt. A minimal amount of writing can be ok as well, just not huge "HOLLISTER SURF CO. BOARD COMPETITION 1922 CHAMPIONS LOL" type of crap.

Even cheap boring stuff like this plain $5 H&M looks MUCH better than that $900 Affliction piece of crap:


Those are indeed "solid tees", but any T-Shirt with any amount of embroidery or print (besides something like a small logo) is considered "graphic" and will not look very classy. We all know we are richer than most fanbases. Classy is our genetic makeup.

Like I said, graphic tees shouldn't be part of your regular casual wardrobe, meaning that you can have a few for diversity, but by all means you shouldn't wear them every single freaking day.

Here are some random fashion tips (for men):

-FIT ABOVE ALL

Casuals:
-Never wear graphic tee's unless you are going to a sporting event. Graphic tee's should not be part of your regular wardrobe.
-Unless you want to look girly (EDITED FOR MOD/GENDER CLARIFICATION), men should always wear straight leg jeans as opposed to boot-cut jeans (unless of course you are some badass cowboy or something). Bootcut jeans simulate curves and this is the reason why they are a popular cut among more girly minded men.
-In general, your shirt could be lighter to some degree than your pants. This is flexible depending on your color choice, but for jeans, this means a dark wash will look the best across most casual wardrobe combinations.
-If you are wearing a button down, roll your damn sleeves up a bit with a casual outfit, otherwise you'll look like a tryhard douche.
-I swear to god, if I see you wear that suit jacket with your jeans one more time, I will murder you.
-Shoes do not need to be darker than your jeans (like with a suit), but do not wear tennis shoes with jeans, unless you are in middle school and only have one pair of shoes. Sperry's are the most casual type of shoe for jeans, but any type of casual (wingtip, etc) oxford or desert boot will do.
-Chinos are casual. Don't let anyone tell you other wise.
-DO NOT tuck your T-shirt, or anything, into your jeans. Ever. I'm talking to you, GPC.


Suit/Formal wear:

-Most important rule: FIT ABOVE ALL. It does not matter how much you spent on your Ralph Lauren Black Label suit, if it does not fit right, IT WILL NOT MATTER. Find a tailor.
-Avoid pinstripes unless you want to look like a walking cliché.
-With suits, your shirt should ALWAYS be lighter than your pants, and your tie (most of the time) should be darker than your shirt (again, flexible depending on shirt color, because yellow ties work with salmon shirts, etc.).
-FIT ABOVE ALL
-Your belt should always match your shoes. No exceptions.
-Always leave your bottom jacket button unbuttoned. Unless you are wearing a Tux.
-Shirts: Stripes, micro-check patterns, and solids are fantastic. Light colors preferred. Nothing flashy like hot pink or neon lime green. Color neutrality is the essence of suit color coding.
-Pants: Unless you are fatass, try to avoid pleats and cuffs if at all possible. Flat fronts are the sharpest cut.
-Jackets: Dual (side) vent coats are the most elegant, most expensive cut. The most expensive suits manufacturers exclusively use dual-vents on their suits. It fits the shape of the male human torso better. The also keep the back of the suit flat and sleek at all times. Single (middle) vents are fine. It is a cheap, less expensive cut, but will still look great most of the time. No vent suits will look terrible when you sit down.
-Ties: Straight-lined patterned ties (diagonal lines, spatially straight micro-"logos", etc) should be the only ties you own. Swirl patterns are tacky.
-Shoes: Avoid square-toed shoes at all cost. Point-toe shoes elongate the leg and emphasize the sleek look of your flat-front pants. Also avoid patterns, such as alligator patterns. They look horrible.
-A blazer has metal buttons, a sport coat does not.
-If you are fat, lose some weight. Nothing will ever look good on you.
-FIND A DAMN TAILOR.

Women:
-Dress slutty. We don't care how much you spent on your Gucci blouse and Ralph Lauren boat shorts. We only care about DAT ASS and DEM CURVES. Dress accordingly.
-Wear heels all of the time. I don't even give a eff.

More to come if there are any questions.

follow up from some other worthless thread on these forums.

shirt.
match pants to shirt.
match belt to pants.
match shoes to belt.
match socks to shoes.

Also, this is terrible. No one do this ever. Except for line 4. Line 5 ONLY with black shoes.

My first question for the experts is, What is the perfect cut or neckline for a V neck? How low should it go?

Should only go to the collar bone notch. Other wise you'll look hipster and terrible. As for cut? Need defined frontal neck tendons and a defined collarbone. Also, v-necks only work if you have an athletic torso (board shoulders, small waist, defined v-taper). V-necks subtly emphasize this.

Any more questions? The only thing I like more than fancy cologne bottles and having 6 iPods is fashion.
