I once read this on another post about dressing for job interviews as a creative, but I think it applies here too.

Imagine you’re going out to lunch with the coolest person in the world. What would you wear to that?

Hmmm I dunno about this advice. What I’d wear (long John’s and a T-shirt) to meet the coolest person in the world (Dan DeVito) is most likely not what I’d wear to meet the CMO of Taco Bell.

All these answers are so unhelpful. Wearing something that you feel comfortable in is the most important. That you feel like yourself in, not someone playing dress up. Yes, make sure it’s clean, and put together but fashion is so subjective these days (also look at most founders wardrobes - they are crazy, no shoes, or only wear sweatpants 24/7). You dont want to look like you’re trying hard to impress. Clean sneakers, jeans, and a nice/cool top (t-shirt or button down) is always a good bet.

Don’t care. There’ll be people in t shirts and people in ties. Wear what you like, what makes you feel good. Dress cool. But there’s no right answer.

Any thoughts?
