Y'all steering the young man in the wrong direction...






In all seriousness, I recently picked up a very nice Kenneth Cole pinstripe in Burlington Coat Factory.

Many years ago when I lived in NY, a girlfriend of mine taught me how to shop on a budget but look 5th Avenue. Go to the most expensive and nicest places you can find. Studying the material, how it fits, what's in style. Become an expert with what the finest looks like, how the materical feels, the workmanship...
Then, go to places you can afford and look for something that fits like that, looks close to that, etc. Also, I won't buy anything without my wife seeing it: 1) I am partially color blind and that olive green suit looks taupe to me and 2) she can spot a problem with fit that I won't see in the mirror. Women are better than men at this stuff. Take your wife or girlfriend, even your mom (but only one at a time so there's no conflicting opinions). Ask her opinion and get her choices and then buy the one you like.
P.S. Don't forget secondary interviews. Its tacky to wear the same suit again.

They must do it differently. I am in my second full year of school, SWOSU has a prepharm program that works out to be a chem minor + a few extra things. Once you complete all those hours you apply for pharmacy school.

Tell him not to worry about the PCAT, if he has had that much chem he will kill it.

For school interview, unless you want to be tight, a slack and sport coat is fine. Or if you want a new suit, $200-$300 suit from any department store is plenty good.
Hugo Boss, wow nice but not cheap. I used to like suit when I was younger. It took me a long time to save up for a Hugo Boss or a Versace. Taking a new suit to the club, I thought I was a fashion model and was very happy. Now, I can't even remember when was the last time I shopped for suit.

I'd like a nice suit but I'm afraid if I show up in a very expensive suit, it will hurt my interview. Or what do you guys think?

Also when shopping for suits what should I be looking for and does anyone know of any killer deals on suits? I know HHI scored a really nice one at Jos A Banks a while back.



Learn me up guys!
