In my defense, I originally got them for finance interviews.

Brown aes to a v10 cb in defiance of tls. Associates said i looked on point. Will update if no offer.

They didn't use fleek?

honestly if i saw a student wearing AEs on a callback i was interviewing, i would probably comment on them positively, too. but i was raised in the tls hivemind years ago.

bonus points if you wear brown/oxblood with a navy suit. i wasn't bold enough to try it when i interviewed, but i would reward it if i saw it.

"Hire me and I'll buy Alden's"

Is this shirt ok for OCI? It deviates a little from the "uniform" but I think it looks good. With black captoe oxfords, dark gray suit, and conservative red striped tie. It just looks blue unless you are really close up.

it's fine. i saw several like it towards the middle of ogi weeks. i'd personally rather have a solid light blue (or a second, or a third...) before even a subtle pattern like this for interviews, but if you're feeling it and don't mind being slightly off the dress code, go for it.

Just stick with black, you can peacock when you start working. Just go safe for the interviews.

Brown shoes with a navy suit is hardly peacocking, and he even says he probably wouldn't even wear walnut.

I agree, I'm exaggerating a bit. Still, I think black is safe. You never know who the interviewer is and how much of a hardo they are for things like this. If it has even a possibility of ruining one interview it just isn't worth it. To me, it is better to be safe...but to each his own.

Dark Chili Park Aves w/ navy = no offer?

So would these be ok or too risky to wear with a navy blue suit & marching belt?

got some good offers wearing regular chili w/ spread collar, skinny tie/lapel, silly socks, and not so prefstigious credentials. I know tls wisdom is great and everything but just wear whatever the fuck makes you confident.

+1 re: french cuffs (namely, don't)

cole haans are fine but that "british tan"? i wouldn't. color is too light for a dark interview suit imo. get black/burg/medium to dark brown for interview. if you want to go off the groupthink plan you've got some shades to work with; some red tones in a medium-dark brown are fine. try to minimize contrast between shoe color and suit color and it will look better as an outfit, even if the shoes seem more boring in isolation.

thanks all for the reassurance re: the puppytooth CT shirt. and yeah, definitely went barrel cuff for all of my shirts.

always wear silly socks

How many pressed shirts do people have in their rotation for OCI or a few days in a row of CBs? I was thinking four sounds safe.

Can I wear dark wine colored shoes for OCI screeners and/or callbacks? Planning on wearing them with a navy blue suit.

I have a black suit from H&M (I know, i should've spent my money better) but I got their more expensive wool collection that is like $220 for the jacket and trousers. Anyway, I'm worried because it is black, and not charcoal. Is it too dark to wear to OCI? I don't want to look like I' m going to a funeral. Here is the jacket I'm talking about :

I have a dark blue suit I really want to wear but has a very subtle pattern. Is it ok? The suit is MUCH darker in real life (very dark navy blue)

definitely white and gold

If you have any other options, go with them, but I don't think it will hurt you.

Bump can anyone comment on the two-toned wine blood shoes I posted a few posts back?

I don't think they'll get you dinged but I think they're ugly.
