Hello gents! I have an interview next week for an investigative position with my state’s Labor, License and Regulation Agency. From what I’ve gathered through some research, the attire seems to be somewhere between smart and business casual. I’ve recently scored a huge thrifting win and found a beautiful Italian Navy blazer with natural shoulders and silver colored buttons. I also scored some beige chinos and a white OCBD LS shirt. I have a burgundy and black striped tie I was thinking of wearing and want to know if I should wear the white OCBD with the button down collar, or a white dress shirt with spread collar that I also own. I am also debating between my natural/light brown leather chukkas with a 1.25” matching leather belt(brown), or my black leather chukkas with a 1.5”, thick, matching leather belt (black). Thank you gentlemen!

Critiques welcome! It's been three very hectic days lately, and thus no ability to post the OOTDs. Still busy, but got most of this done last night. I am wearing suspenders for the first time since high school prom... which was a bit ago! I am loving them. Since they are Kirby Allison made in England, would I therefore call then braces or do I need to be British to use that lexicon? Today's outfit • Suit — SJ‑013, SL‑022 (Mantoni): A light‑gray Mantoni windowpane suit in breathable lightweight wool, with a crisp navy–light‑blue pane that plays exceptionally well on camera. High‑rise trousers with brace buttons create a clean, elongated line when paired with suspenders. • Shirt — DS‑040 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A non‑iron white twill dress shirt with French cuffs and a classic point collar—sleek, structured, and perfect for business‑formal VC presence. The smooth twill and slightly fitted cut provide a modern, polished foundation beneath the suit. • Undershirt — US‑002 (Ralph Lauren): A soft white cotton undershirt that remains invisible under DS‑040’s opaque twill. Comfortable for all‑day wear and ideal for maintaining a sharp neckline on video. • Tie — NT‑023 (Fort Belvedere): A light‑blue and navy Cri de la Soie mottled silk knit tie from Fort Belvedere, woven in the distinctive crunchy Swiss silk that gives the blade its spring, texture, and cool visual depth. The square‑end silhouette and 2.5" width create a modern, continental profile that works beautifully with business‑casual tailoring and lightly patterned shirts. • Suspenders — SB‑001 (Kirby Allison): Navy silk braces with subtle white dots and black leather loops, creating a harmonious dialogue with the tie’s pattern. They deliver a refined, vertical silhouette and eliminate the break created by a belt. • Pocket Square — PS‑009 (Fort Belvedere): White linen with a blue X‑stitch border, folded cleanly in a crisp TV fold. The restrained detailing keeps the focus on your face during VC meetings while adding a subtle note of elegance.
