^^You're right man, thats a tough industry to break into. I worked in entertainment and we would just print out resumes to laugh at them, i fell bad about it now, but you get caught up in it.

Wow, that is horrible! Although I understand the thought process of the recruiters, it sure is horrible for all of us applying!

I don't see the deal about cuff links, maybe at UBS they don't wan't to be seen as higher status as customer? And it's the first time I hear that a face or body shape will dictate your tie knot!

Yikes, forgot about pocket squares. Linen, white, hand-rolled edges. TV fold. No crazy points and such. Again, for salesmen and pimps.

Ivan91 wrote: What about shirt with supporters ? I really like that James Bond style Do you mean suspenders (braces) or sleeve garters? In either case, don't. Granted, you shouldn't be taking your jacket off anyway, so if you're a portly guy who for whom braces make more sense than a belt, then by all means, go ahead. Otherwise, play it safe and just wear a belt. Sleeve garters, if they are part of your style, are cosplay. Just. Don't.

If you do end up wearing them, please for the love of god don't wear the clip-ons. You should have buttons in your trouser waistband to attach proper braces to. Apologies if you already know this; you never know who you're talking to on these fori.

Again this may be European specific, but silk is the only appropriate material and should ideally match the secondary colour of one's tie. Walk into any magic circle (white shoe) corporate law firm or bulge bracket bank and loads of people from associate to partner will have a pocket square. In any event, even in the 'States, it is far better to go without a pocket square then a linen one. Yes. Linen. I realize that in the UK, preferences are different. For one, looking at all the stuff that the Jermyn St. shirtmakers sell, you realize that the English like their shirts a lot bolder, along with ties in heavy silk woven pattern, windsor knots, and pocket squares to complement that whole aesthetic. In the US, a white linen pocket square is about as safe and versatile as you can get. Cotton/linen blends are great too. http://asuitablewardrobe.dynend.com/200 ... -fold.htmlThe only thing I would add to ^^^ is that for an interview you should use a neat TV fold. Save the sprezzatura for when you actually have the job. Please don't tell people to wear black suits. In the United States, you will look like a waiter. Maybe that's different in Europe. In the US, you do not wear a black suit in the daytime, ever, unless you are a waiter or driver or doorman or undertaker...you get the idea.

Wear silk pocket squares (Aspinal, HN, Turnbull & Asser, G&H, E&R, and Drakes all do quality pocket squares) avoid linen like the plague. Perhaps you have never worn one or wear you work people had not been exposed to them overly, hence the linen error.
Again if you have ever been to London or even more so Paris, Milan, or Rome black suits are absolutely in style and if one has a well tailored suit, they will hardly look like a waiter. Perhaps the people who get mistaken for a waiter, etc. should actually invest in something other than cheap, off the rack nonsense. I can also speak to colleagues from the New York office of my old bank, and particularly from the more old money banks, well tailored black suits do make an appearance fairly regularly. This is a fallacy I've heard espoused by a few Americans, generally those who have never owned a tailored suit or are from the mid-west. One can always tell a quality suit and black, as long as it is good material, lends itself fantastically to the purpose.
OK.
