I’m interviewing at a really casual creative agency today and I want to wear something that is definitely put together but still shows my style. How far is too far? Sneakers okay if they’re clean?

Good luck with your interview.

Why not wear sneakers esp if you have some fly retro Jordans? I’d actually give you extra points if you wore TBWAs air max Gundam. But just say no to Yeezys

Heck yeah! If you have fly sneakers, show ‘em off. Do a button down/sweater/shirt with solid pants. Something sharp but funky.

Yes. You should always have a pair of sneakers you keep solely for interview and client meetings, preferably black.

Oh god. Just stop

Check their client roster before selecting your sneakers. Negative points for wearing a competitor sneaker brand. (Example: don’t wear adidas to WK)

@TBWA1 it went well!! Thanks for convincing me on the sneakers, they were a good call. I felt very comfortable in my own skin and I feel pretty good about it over all. Mostly just trying not to get ahead of myself and wait for their response! ☺️

Really casual creative agency? You could probably wear shorts and flip flops

OP, if you're just seeking validation against the voice in your head that has doubts if this is appropriate, TBWA1 is your guy! Good luck with the interview today, let us know how it goes 👌

Define sneakers, lol
If the running or workout kind, that's a No. If you mean dark colored, sporty shoes or walking "sneakers", sure. Overall, when in doubt, don't take unnecessary risks, but I also doubt people will focus on your feet of you're male and not wearing bright lime green or red sneakers, haha

How did it go OP?

Great bud. Nice to hear it. Remember you’re the subject matter expert, with unique capabilities and you’ve got to make it approachable for them...the more approachable you are (aka comfortable in your own skin), the easier it will be to get everyone speaking the same language. I’m sure you crushed

Hi!

Today I read the op-ed in LA Weekly by the Preux and Proper owner, Josh Kopel. When this group started, it was a dream of mine to meet you while enjoying a drink or a meal and build a community of people who enjoy the city and wanted to explore its food. It’s surreal to think that we have been in lockdown for this long. I know many restaurants may be struggling and if you have a favorite, a local gem, please share with us.
