Dapper or Crapper: Bill’s Interview Suit

It’s a safe choice, Bill, but you’re not trying to sell them your sartorial genius, so I think you’re okay. In the picture that suit looks like it has a bluish hue, but I’m presuming that’s an artifact of the flash and that it’s actually charcoal.

What’s going to make or break that outfit, as per usual with a suit, is going to be the shoes. Go dark and simple if that’s all you’ve got—and it’s always going to be dark with a charcoal suit, although I still contend the right brown shoes can make a grey suit a knockout—but give them a good shine, at least.

It’s not the height of fashion, by far, but from what we can see it’s acceptable. Job interviews are one time I’m not going to encourage you to take any risks.

I’d be able to give you more to go on if I could see the whole thing from head to toe—how a suit fits is just as important as what it’s made out of.

Verdict: Not quite dapper, but far from crapper.
