<p>I showed up to the 1st or 2ed interview for the job I have now in some crappy jeans, a black pleater jacket and a hand knitted hat that said "no place like 127.0.0.1". Of course it might have helped that I showed them my rack.</p>

There was an epic thread on reddit several months ago about work clothes<br>
that's good to read too. Should google up to the top quickly. The only<br>
thing I would add is that their Brooks Brothers shirt worship is a tad<br>
elitist- the no-iron good quality shirts from Dillards are just as good.<br>
I don't know who makes them for Dillards, but they are fantastic. If<br>
only they made the french cuff versions in pink...<br>
<br>
I would also add:<br>
a) Get freshly laundered shirts. Barring that, iron with spray starch<br>
and a damp shirt. You can iron shirts as well as a cleaner can launder,<br>
but it does take practice. Do it even if you have those Dillards shirts.<br>
b) Get your shoes polished, and the sole-edges dressed. Easy to do if<br>
you want to save money, especially with a microfiber cloth. Polish<br>
stains like a mofo though so it's best to do it someplace not near<br>
anything you want safe.<br>
c) Floss.<br>
