When people say "dress one level above the job you're applying for", I can't help to imagine what the levels are. I came up with something like this, from high to low:
- 3 piece suit
- 2 piece suit with tie
- 2 piece suit, no tie
- suit pants and dress shirt
- khaki's and dress shirt
- jeans and dress shirt
- jeans and t-shirt
- shorts and t-shirt
- stained shorts and wife beater shirt
I always wonder where the bow tie fits in though, or are they just always inappropriate?
- electronvolt 13y agoBow ties are generally considered formal evening wear, not business attire, much like tuxedos. I'd also actually put the 2 piece suit with tie over a 3 piece suit (with or without tie) in terms of formality/business-attire-ness: 3 piece suits are also not traditional business wear, while 2 piece suit+tie is the IBM/'50s iconic business look, and what you'd see most CEOs/etc. wearing.

- hnal943 13y agoI think they mean one level above you in the hierarchy. What are the managers in the company wearing?
