Not sure what to wear on my first day hosting at a nice, upper-scale restaurant in the business district... black or white? Should I buy a vest/waistcoat or is that too formal?

If its a day time event, dont wear the black.
A night time would nice with that black shirt ( fits v nice) and a plain black or grey tie, the current one is very distracting
White would look good either way, and is less threatening.

>>8573259
Well it's the night shift 5-10pm, so black would be appropriate. I kind of have to agree that the tie is distracting, maybe a solid color would be better.
>>8573267
Thanks, got measured and everything!
>>8573275
I can't really comment on other servers as I've only really been in the restaurant a couple of times and have only paid attention this last time, but mostly everyone wears business casual.. girls in dresses guys in button-downs or polos. Some servers/hosts do wear vests as well (not sure I've seen anybody in a full suit though).

considering the size/length of your head, you should grow your hair long or keep it flat on the top

and go the black w/out vest

>> No.8573342

Well I think part of it is camera distortion and secondly my hair usually has paste in it which helps it lay more flat and in-line; it's pretty dry and poofy in these pictures :S

No, not tailored. Just got my measurements taken and then picked it out of the selection. Brand is J. Ferrar (Slim Fit), can get them at any department store (Dillards/Macys/JCP w/e).
>>8573386
I'll be hosting, so greeting people, seating people, helping servers bring out plates, and then miscellaneous tasks around the restaurant (but mostly the "face" of the restaurant as the host, as they're the first people you see when you walk in). I won't be taking any food or drink orders.

you should go Bowie-core

>> No.8573407

Wearing a black dress shirt is fucking retarded

Sometimes it looks cool on Hedi Slimane models, but you probably don't have the personality to not look like a fuccboi wearing it, and you're hosting, so even if you look good like that it'd still be too off-putting because most people would feel threatened in the presence of a Hedi Slimane model

The right is infinitely better, but it'd be really nice if you could not wear a belt at all, if the pants don't fit without the belt then they don't fit and probably shouldn't be worn

And the comments on growing out your hair are retarded, David Bowie's hair was typically shorter, and because David Bowie is extremely attractive and the OP looks just like him, then he should have whatever hair David Bowie most often had

Holy fuck it's like everyone in this thread is 16, he's doing a job ffs, not going to a hip party in NYC

Huh. You make a lot of interesting points... I'll consider the belt thing. The pants are 32/32 but I'm usually 30/32 (in jeans at least) so it's fits better with but it's not like they're falling off without. Also >Shoes

Hi pine
good advice, I think I will take back the tie and get a solid black and/or grey one. And I do have other belts, I'll definitely try them out.
>>8573429
Yeah I wish! That would be the dream. Unfortunately there are 0 fashion and modeling opportunities in the midwest (think: corn). Also I'm working on applying to medical school this application cycle and that will take up most of my time.

>>8573430
Shoes look like they might be too clunky for the rest of the outfit, but they're fine, and it's probably essential that the shoes be comfortable anyway and that insole looks comfy

You shouldn't wear a vest btw, and I would recommend being prepared to take the tie off just in case you show up and all the other servers are like "wtf is with your tie dude"

It can be seen as too flashy, especially one as noticeable as in the pics. And the shoes are slip-resistant and have gel padding, so it's pretty ideal for work (not too clunky either imo, might be the angle). And I already think I will go back and get a solid grey and solid black tie instead of the pattered one. I'll see what the others think too.

Partially agree. A belt is an accesoire without practical use, because pants should fit fine without a belt. You can wear a belt if it adds to your fit, but it isnt really necessary for a formal fit.
