Charcoal suit and black cap toes.

White shirt & navy tie orlight blue shirt & burgundy tie for callback?.

i like the way white & burgandy look with charcoal more than any of the combinations possible but yeah, splitting hairs

I think the stigma associated wtih black suits is a myth. i see them all the time around here, especially among the larger firm types. and they look pretty sharp!

White people look like ghosts in a black suit. Everyone else is fine.

Are you sure you're not seeing midnight navy suits? I have hardly seen anyone in big law wearing a black suit. Dark navy suits that look close to black, sure, but not black suits.

Very few quality suits are actually black, but rather very dark charcoal grey or midnight navy.

[Broseidon]

Yep. Dark charcoal or dark navy often resemble black suits. Highly doubt they're actually wearing black.

If you can't tell the difference, what does it matter? If something looks black, it's black for all intents and purposes.

You may not be able to tell, but I bet other people can.

And, again... This thread is about best practices. If you already have a black suit that works and fits well, by all means wear it. HOWEVER, if you are in this thread because you want advice on what to spend your money on, your BEST BET is to get a dark charcoal or midnight navy.

It's the cap-toe discussion all over again. No one is saying "ditch your wardrobe or NO OFFER." Just offering the best advice we can give for people looking to buy new clothes.

So, BB is having a sale this weekend for black friday. Two suits for $530. Good deal? I only have a black suit, and its gotten a little big on me, so Im hoping to get a dark navy and a charcoal suit for December/January interviews.

Good deal?

Didn't find it online. Called my store.

[basilseal]

Damn. None of my stores doing it.

[2014]

Can you get the ABA discount on top of that BB deal?

I probably won't jump the gun but I'm tempted.

Any idea if it can be a mastercard debit card? This is an awesome deal.

I'm going to suspect that this was a deal at the outlet rather than at the normal store, but damn $1700 -20% I might have been willing to do anyway Sorry I missed this.

[chrisbru]

Sup style experts? Help me pick a tie for my callback today please?

Edit: Charcoal suit, tie on the left is navy, will be wearing black shoes and black belt.

[LeDique]

Either would be fine. The one on the left is the more conservative choice.

gold ties were the power ties of the 1990s. you don't really see them anymore, particularly with the younger professionals
