    As long as you have your jorts with the jacket, you'll be fine.

    Probably not a sportscoat but I'd definitely wear a skirt, dark nylons and sensible heels.

    So if Hooker wears a skirt, dark nylons, and sensible heels, what color sportcoat should he wear?


    :sheep:
    If it's a wool skirt, I would suggest a tweed sportcoat

    I'm questioning the light gray coat with navy blue pants. It might be too much of a contrast. Are you thinking light brown shoes and belt or black? How imperfect does the suit jacket fit?

    Hook,

    God help you if you start asking for fashion advice for job interviews on BHC.

    Go ask your wife. :D

    I think he should go with a good knit. Always stylish. St John's would be right up his alley. [​IMG]

    No, clue. This interview is with an O&G company, which usually means jeans and boots, but the guy I'm interviewing with is from their corporate office. So I have no clue how he will be dressed.

    Oh and go with a sports jacket not grey.

    " In Europe and America, grey is the color most frequently associated with the elderly, humility, reflection, boredom, dullness, uncertainty, and indifference.[4] "

    For someone with as much fashion sense as you... :whip: :lol:

    Geeze !!!!

    I got my job wearing jogging shorts heading back from the gym over the phone.

    If you can't pull it off with a nice grey sport coat you suck at life.

    Hooker - just wear a PRO-GUN t-shirt, jeans and workboots. Then you'll know right away if they are worth working for :D

    My last interview was in some nice Khaki's and a button up shirt...so you are asking the wrong guy. My interview was on a Friday and all of the guys interviewing me were in jeans and a t-shirt. lol

    So how did the iview go? Just in case you haven't had it yet... one last suggestion. Wear this... they will love it.
