And I have to dress like a damn fool. (Business casual sucks.)
I realize that this wasn't the main point of your post, but I do have some thoughts on this. My first job after college was at a Fortune 500 company that required business casual. I dressed like an idiot. My shirts were too big (and all of the same single-color button-up variety). My pants didn't fit right (and weren't altered to match my actual height). There was no diversity in my outfits.
You don't have to make those same mistakes.
1. Get the stuff you buy altered to fit you.
2. Look to the web for basic fashion patterns and advice. This is easier than ever.
3. Give up and order from Trunk Club or an equivalent service. It's basic fashion for the fashion illiterate.
- tedmiston 11y agoEven well fitting doesn't matter when you feel like you were born to wear hoodies, shorts, and sneakers. I currently work for a startup and that's something I place a lot of value in. I would turn down a job at my current salary + $10k if it required business casual attire every day (of course that implies further cultural differences too).
