Help a Fashion Noob

[Desu]

tl;dr I need business clothing, tell me what to wear. Also you can recommend a haircut. I realize that haircuts tend to be hard to pin down, so just tell me what to avoid so I don't look like a fag.

---

I'm going shopping for "business" type clothing. I'm going to need basically everything, however I don't know much about this. Actually, I'm 100% ignorant with this stuff, I have no idea what to do. I don't know what looks good, I don't know what to avoid, I don't know how you figure out what fits correctly etc.

Price isn't a problem here, but I don't want $200 pants or something... just nothing too ridiculous.

I need like, a semi-formal set consisting of a long sleeve shirt, slacks, belt, tie (optional), shoes, etc.

Eventually I need to buy an expensive suit, but take care of the above first.

I don't need a tuxedo.

Basically I need to make a good first impression and make an interviewer think I mean SERIOUS BUSINESS. One of the problems is that I'm young, so I have to convince someone 3 times my age I'm not "too immature" for the job or something.

I need a haircut, but I don't know what to tell my hairstylist. I might just tell her, "Pretend your interviewing me for a job, what should my hair look like?" Would that work?

I don't want to shave because I get told that I look like I'm 14 or something when I shave. Not good obviously. I don't know how to deal with facial hair though. Just tell me what looks gay or untidy, and I'll avoid that.

Ok that's about it.

FUCK YOU I WAS GOING TO DO THAT

Get like a sweater of some sort with a collared dress shirt under it (A tie is optional, but you will already be looking nice). Don't pull the collar out over the sweater's neck; that's a little too casual. Keep it tucked in. This with a pair of matching slacks and nice dress shoes will impress the employer. You may think to yourself, I look like a tool. But you will most likely impress the employer. You could also go for the three-piece suit, but that may be a little too nice for a job interview. The employer will probably tell you are trying too hard to impress.

As for the haircut, I guess anything besides messy or a mullet. I guess you could keep it long, but it's gotta look nice. Although, a short cut is probably the way to go

Workplace business or Casual Business?

Ok for proffesional business look I advise you to invest in a Purple, Green, Red, Or Orange Dress Shirt. They Aren't commonly worn and they offer some great color matching opportunities.

This will typically cost around 20$ per shirt

Jeans: If you plan on wearing them make sure that they are a darker blue not neccesarily black though, Darker blue just generallly looks better. and will be enough for someone getting started.

(Pm me if you want advice on matching colorful jeans of the green, red and yellow variety)

Belt: Buy both a black and a white belt (Black is versatile, and White really brings certain outfits together) they also sell belts of other colors ie yellow belts for black pants, red belts for white pants purple belts for green pants.

Shoes: Just make sure you get black ones, they generally match every outfit and they'll be enough to get you started.

Example Dresss

White/ or blue Jacket
Red Dresss Shirt
Dark blue Jeans
White Belt
Black shoes

====Colors that don't match

Black and Brown is a fashion no no
Purple and Brown is yuck
Green and Blue is a no go (I would
wear purple pants with green dress shirts)
Orange and blue

------------------

Color Matchings:

Purple Matches with Green , red , white, or Yellow, black

Green matches with red, white, purple, yellow,black

Red: matches with blue, purple, green, white, yellow black

therefore in theory you could have

White jacket
green dress shirt
yellow lanyard
Red Belt
Purple Pants
black shoes



Hope this helps if you want Ill post pics.
