Exactly. I'm "regular" and 6' and I think regular ties make me look like a clown.quadsixm wrote:What about if I'm 5'7" and slim, I think regular ties look huge on me.

I have almost a Kate Gosselin hairstyle and I like it. I've had it since a little before she was popular and I think it is great. I manage to pull mine off because I have dark hair though, so that might be it.

Re: Any particular hairstyle law firms look for?
There are degrees of everything. For example, another poster mentioned wanting a skinny tie to offset his small stature. That's appropriate, so long as the tie is matching his size. To better illustrate what I mean:174 wrote:Really? I mean, obnoxiously skinny is one thing, but what about 2.5" at the bottom? What about the occasional knit tie? Obviously I wouldn't push the envelope during an interview or an important meeting with a client, but do firms really dislike associates showing any personality at all?mb88 wrote: While we're at it:
No, skinny ties are not appropriate either.
You don't always have to wear something as thick as this:
Something a little smaller is perfectly fine, like this:
However, there is a modern trend where young men like to wear very thin ties, such as this dumb ass:

Or this guy:
Those types of "skinny ties" are very popular with suits and outfits worn to clubs and to parties. While they may be appropriate there (although I find them deplorable anywhere), they are certainly not appropriate in a business setting.
Men's (hell, AND women's) business fashion is conservative, whether one likes it or not. It does not follow trends (or does very slowly; how long have suspenders been trying to make a comeback?) and it is not designed to help you show your individuality. At its core it is designed to make you look intelligent, clean, and to not make your colleagues think you're a huge douche bag.

If you can buy it at Brooks Brothers, chances are it's appropriate for work.

GTFO with this "small stature" bullshit. 5'7" is a perfectly respectable/average height. He should wear a tie of standard width.mb88 wrote:another poster mentioned wanting a skinny tie to offset his small stature.

Overly thick ties are also not appropriate until you are a senior partner and/or have taken over as CEO somewhere huge (and gained 80 pounds or so). The one in that first picture in mb88's post is too thick -- it shouldn't take over your entire chest.

A good rule of thumb is to wear a tie as wide as your Dingalingalong is thick.

Oh okay, I think we're on the same page then. This is what I was referring to when I said slim, but not obnoxiously so. I still can't see myself wearing a "standard" 3.5+ inch tie anytime soon.mb88 wrote: Something a little smaller is perfectly fine, like this:

not me btw.
I think law firms look for the more conservative look, so now i'm thinking of going for a more "colbert" hairstyle, combed to the side kind of thing. I'm probably over analyzing the hair thing, but any suggestions?

Here's a good rule of thumb. In terms of comportment and dress, if this guy did it, it's probably OK:

But seriously: No douchebag hair. Ties should fit your frame and compliment your jacket lapels (IMHO the tie on mb88's 1st example is too wide, but no offensively so, his 2nd example makes me feel sad for humanity).
And don't dress like Prince Edward in Glen plaid and double-breasted suits during work unless you're royalty or a named partner.

Dress like:
Peter Campbell when you're an associate.
Don Draper when you're a senior associate.
Roger Sterling/Bert Cooper when you're a partner.
