Yo yo, I got an interview coming up for a ski sales rep at Evo tomorrow. Wondering if you guys have any recommendations for what I should wear. I've already met a few of the employees and the manager so I think I have a decent first impression. I was thinking some nice khakis, dress shoes, solid color woven t shirt and a casual watch
Interview at Evo this week..

idk maybe i'm just used to a different work world and ski websites are even more laid back than i picture, but i can't imagine wearing a t shirt of any kind to an interview of any kind. i say wear a nice button up, nice slacks, and dress shoes

But why would you wear slacks/dress shoes with a t shirt? That'd look weird, IMO. Just wear a collared shirt, it doesn't even need to be a dress shirt. I've got a couple collared shirts from Vans that look good with khakis, or even a nice flannel would work.

What even is a dress t shirt?

If you're going to wear nice shoes and pants you should probably wear a collared shirt.
It's better to be over dressed than mismatched I would think.

yeah man even in the skiing world i don't think overdressing is a real worry at an interview. i mean in this case if you showed up in a full suit and acted like a douche, maybe they'd get the impression that you wouldn't be a good fit. but every employer values someone who takes things seriously and shows up looking presentable. in my opinion a long sleeve button up, nice slacks, and dress shoes is the minimum you should consider
good luck man! hope you get it

Best casual but professional look.
Casual but nice shoes, like sperrys or some plain Van's that aren't torn to shit.
Khakis that aren't pleated.
Long sleeve button up, tucked in with the sleeves rolled up.
Brown belt and a nice watch.
The look says I'm laid back but care enough to put effort into what I wear, and this job.

This is a tough call and really a judgement call in a lot of circumstances like this. I work in a construction field, and sat on an interview panel this week. Most candidates wore full suits and I thought that was overkill until the head boss came in at lunch and was like, ‘is that one of the candidates in his Carhartts for the interview??’ In a tone that suggested he did not approve.
I read that you already did it, so good luck- but my rule of thumb is that you wear the fanciest thing you would actually wear to a given day in the job, within the style of appropriate dress code for that job.

sweat pants + wife beater = total alpha move, ask if you can be interviewing for Chief Operating Officer

Its a ski industry job. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were interviewing someone who's job was to sell ski equipment how would you want him to look? I would want him to look like a youthful skier who actually hits the slopes. Dont dress like a bum, just throw on a flannel and some khakis. I work at a ski shop and half the time I see reps walking in wearing t-shirts, chacos and shorts. Its about what you know, not how well you dress.

I had a guy show up for a construction interview dressed exactly like Donald Trump. Big fat Italian guy in an oversized black suit and long ass tie. It was fucking awesome. I can’t remember if he had anything good to say I was too focused on the suit choice
