Ask the Rebellious Gentleman - Business Conference Outfit

Q: Ok, this is really good info, though not applicable to me. So if I may, I'm going to a business conference in a couple of months, my first time to such an event. I don't really want to wear a suit, but I still want to look presentable, what would you recommend? Thanks.

A: In this day and age of businesses going casual, suits are becoming appropriate only to a few business industries like finance. Wearing a business suit is still your best bet especially since this is your first time.
But if you are among the rebellious guys who avoid suits in any way, you can get away with wearing a simple dark denim jeans (no faded jeans) with a dark blazer and shirt. Complete the outfit with a black belt and black round toe oxford shoes.

  4. You're welcome bro.
    Let me know what your colleagues at work think of that look.
    Oh before I forget, make sure the jacket and pants fit you well. And dark blue jeans only. Avoid wearing those with wash, fades etc.

  5. Uhh, am I the only one to notice that that guy is FLYING? Forget about clothes. Learn to hover in midair and you're sure to impress.
