sisters are also free to contribute
OSCAR BOAETANG got those bespoke suits. Proud of that brother. I believe he has a shop in Seville Row and shops abroaod. he is pretty known but in any case, to all my brothas and sisters. please wear conservative clothing for job interview unless you are looking for artistic job then you can add a twist to your conservative style.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Ehhh nothing exceptional here save for a couple of pairs of shoes...
 
Re: GQing yourself

Imo Style Changes With Your Location. I Honestly Think The Goal Is To Be Able To Fit In At All Times. That Being Said Get The Staples For The Various Situations You Find Your Self In. Stay Away From Trends On Large Ticket Items (you Can Typically Achieve A Look With Just The Little Things I.e Watch, Scarf, Ect. )

Bumping in effort to keep alive,

I recently acquired a really dope blazer on sale at Macy's for like $75. It's Ralph Lauren with a herringbone—pattern similar to what's seen below.

I usually wear it with a cashmere sweater vest to match the brown elbow patches and a white dress shirt , with or without similar matching tie or bow tie.

If I am feeling laid back, I'll wear some decent fitting jeans with loafers.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Bumping again... Come on Ya'll

For those young gentlemen, like myself, that's trying to get some really dope looking dress shirts!!

http://propercloth.com/ <<<<< Click the link

It's a bespoke dress shirt website located in NYC. It looks like they make "hip" looking corporate dress shirts. You can add accents to the shirt. The owners are young and IVY educated.

The shirts start at $90 bones. I think that's a reasonable price for a measure-to-fit shirt.
 
Re: GQing yourself

for you english cats is this store considered expensive out there?

http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/ProductList.aspx/MenShirtsWindsorSemiFitted

No its not top notch and i hate their shirts...Most black brothers (Esp them Nigerians) love TM LEWIN shirts...I hate their fabrics...yes they might look good on picture but I really dont feel their cotton

But if you are on budget then its cool to buy some....
If I'm on budget then this is always my rescue:

Otherwise MARK MARENGO is the way to go even though they've become slightly expensive last couple of months

Re: GQing yourself

In the U.S., cats who are looking to save some money or who are just starting out should look into:

Wal Mart - Dress Shirts
Burlington - Suits + Shirts
K & G - Suits + Shirts
JC Penny - Suits + Shirts

Laugh if you will, but Wal*Mart's Puritan and George brand shirts are decent quality for the price. Russell Simmons' line is pretty nice also (though I don't like his argyle polos so much). I buy at least 3 white shirts at a time when I roll through. K-Mart and Sears are good choices also if you are on a budget.

Get a cheaper (but quality) suit from Burlington or K&G and get it tailored. You can find some really good stuff it you take the time to look.

Target has a damn good selection of business attire,

Also add to that list DSW, Off Broadway Shoe, and SRI shoe warehouse.

Honestly though Id invest more money in a Great pair of shoes over an expensive suit.

Re: GQing yourself

Bump don't go to an interview with dirty fingernails. I've head horror stories from friends in HR. Make sure the resume is up to date.

Re: GQing yourself

don't know if you guys have a Syms clothing store in your area but it can be a goldmine, especially for those just starting to build a professional wardrobe. The suits are off the rack but they tailor them for free and offer assistance on a number of things a lot of cats(young and old) may be too embarrassed to ask(how to tie a tie, shirt size). They offer name brand labels as well...
