worst case is they ask you why you dressed up and you tell the truth! “I dressed up b/c anonymous posters on a anonymous cfa forum told me to.”

I’m looking like this because they told me to wear a crushed velvet jacket with leather pants and no socks! Doi!
 
prehaps go with the suit but wear a shirt/tie that is more laid back i.e. a bright color and unusual pattern that is the oposite of buttoned down banker shirt tie combo. That way if they are laid back kacki kind of guys you will not be too “stiff” but if they(or one of them) is more conservative you will still be wearing the busienss “uniform” and come across as proffessional.

Is this Northern CA? If in SF, you can’t go wrong with a*sless chaps.

LOL! i did some of my education in the bay area, and i definitely know better NOT to walk around in those
 
Ha ha… I think the Folsom Street Fair is over now anyway.
That’s a tough question, Numi. Seems like you could be derided as the uptight East Coast guy if you dress up too much. But if the HR contact was off, that would stink too. I guess a nice button-down shirt and blazer would be good. Might leave the tie at home, but you guys are more knowledgeable about the degrees of male dress than I.
 
Light brown cashmere sport coat and light grey pants, blue and white striped shirt…no tie.
There you go…
 
Really…it’s gotta be a light brown cashmere with some very slight blue in it, Boss and Zegna both do an excellent version of the sport coat. The white in the shirt will ground the grey…believe me, I’m sporting the look today and it’s tight.
 
Heh. “Tight” I’ll trust you, Turkish. You know a lot more about men’s fashion than I do.
