What's the fashion in Smart Causal business meeting suitable clothes for a 50 year old web designer? I'm a tramp by nature and only throw garments away when I can pass an arm though the holes in it - Covid (and video meetings) made things easy for the likes of me, but have a face to face coming up with a youthful agesist person. eek! |  |

Anything with Stone Island or Primark logo on - they're both the same.
The logo is the most important thing rather than the look/type for the youngsters under 60. |  | | |

To summarise, a genial Norwich supporting regular on the forum has asked for fashion advice on his forthcoming meeting with some uptight rule bound millennial (i know, I know, the first three words are superfluous) that might affect his future earning power and is informed by (and by no means the most extreme partisan) Town supporters to wear the Kneecap balaclava, an Ipswich replica top, lederhosen, a Reebok trainer on one foot and a stiletto heel on the other.
Got away with it quite lightly really, hasn't he ? |  |

3 piece suit, maybe a little flair for the cuff links, and a Windsor half knot would be acceptable. |  | | |

Just wear what you want. If they can't take you as you are, do you even want to work with them?
The number of times I've adhered to a 'smart casual' dress code, and worried that my choice of smart black jeans wouldn't pass only to find people in blue jeans/shorts, t-shirt and trainers without anyone batting an eye, so next time I'm not going to bother. | | | |

I can’t remember where I heard this advice, never go for a job, if you have to buy clothes for the interview, but it sounded good at the time. | | | |

That's sound advice too! I'll check Binman opportunities... either that, or hope I can persuade them to take me as I am. | |

| Lederhosen..... on 11:30 - Aug 11 by Bloots |
....dress shirt (with frills), full face balaclava and a top hat with an ostrich feather.
Sorted. |
Don't go much on the lederhosen, full lunchbox highlighting lycra with the rest of your suggest outfit gotta be a winner |  |

Spider-Man costume. |
There was a wonderful letter sent to Viz celebrating the fact of the increase in child obesity,as gentlemen of shorter stature could now benefit from the lack of VAT on children's clothes. The author did note that he looked a bit of a tw@t in his new batman t-shirt but on the plus side he was a tw@t with a few extra quid in the back of his Super Mario shorts.
Not sure if this helps the OP but is food for thought. |  | | |

Self-obsessed update: I went with MrBeckinsale's excellent advice and wore black jeans, black t-shirt and black trainers (my of impression an actual designer). Worked a dream - turned up an missy was in full summer casual garb, so I just about fitted in. Ta Mr! [Post edited 13 Aug 13:16]

Not too old for me to get the reference.
Turns out they want someone more or less full time. In my eagerness to not look desperate, I'd told them I'm pretty busy, so discussions are ongoing! I've have a matalan tux though, so I might get the gig. | |

Glad to have been of help.

It's a tuxedo bought from Matalan for £25 (Inc trousers no less). An outfit to make any boy feel like a prince. | |
