Going on a job interview, dress code is smart casual, and my wardrobe primarily contains t-shirts, some shirts used for parties, slim-fit jeans (Diesel and Weekday, black and regular), and chinos (khaki, dark blue and a bit worn, both slim fit but a little long). Shoes aren't any special, just nice-looking flat shoes.

So please help. What do I need? From what I gather, I can go with the weekday black slim-fit, but not sure what to put on top that doesn't show sweat when they start BBQing me, and I need some nicer shoes.

Dark brown dress type shoes (brogues), formal black pants (cheap), white or light blue shirt, blue tie, grey blazer.

>formal black pants
Like pants for a suit?
>blue tie
Aren't these supposed to be skipped in the smart casual?
>grey
Dark grey?

>brown shoes with black trousers
>black trousers with blue shirt
>blue tie with a grey blazer
>any of that with a grey blazer

no

just get some nice oxfords/brogues in black, some slim fit grey dress trousers, a white oxford shirt and a black/coloured pullover, either V neck or crew neck

I don't even understand what oxford means. I'm in Scandinavia, is that name even used here?

You can drop the tie if you want. See pic related.

So I can go with my white shirt for suits? It's got some pattern in the fabric, don't know what it's called.

>> No.12505583

>>12505570
You're looking for a leather lace-up shoe with the option of some perforated pattern (broguing). Do not get very pointy or very square toed shoes.

>>12505583
What about oxford for shirts?

I'd hate to buy a raincoat to have on top of a blazer, can I just buy a black/charcoal sweater instead?

>>12505614

Right, glad that's sorted out.

Is there any store around you where you can ask the staff for help?

>> No.12505632

>>12505630
I honestly don't know. I know there's a store with hand-stitched Italian jeans, so I guess that's where I need to go.

Probably have to just accept that it's going to cost me what I normally spend on clothes over an entire year.

>> No.12505633

>>12505622
oxfords have closed lacing. don't believe what the americans say

>> No.12505654

What about this then:
- Navy blazer, premium cotton stretch
- Navy chinos, slim-fit if it fits
- White button-down (will have to buy, don't have button down), discrete pattern if at all
- Dark brown oxford shoes
- Dark brown leather belt (only have black and casual, three years old)
Decent? Any recommended ties (patterns etc)?

Embarassing mistake.

Could mention that I have black shoes for a suit, not sure how it would go with the other stuff.

Final bump from me. Planning on shopping Saturday afternoon.
