Clothes for the budding young professional

[dtrg]

Hey I'm turning 21 in a couple months and my wardrobe is left over from high school. I'm at a university now and I'll have internship and job interviews coming my way in the near future. What some clothing lines or stores you suggest for conveying a serious working attitude but not too serious. Something young, energetic, ready to work. I have a pale complexion with dark longish hair and I'm 5'8". I know I'll have to go out and try on some styles but what do you suggest?

Well, depending on where you're applying, I'd go with slacks and a polo or slacks and a shirt and tie (think POWER TIE!!!) And just like with women, confidence is key in job interviews too. Even if you have no experience, tenaciousness makes up for a lot.

Goto Express for Men, H&M, and Nordstrom Rack.

Express has the best slacks I've ever worn. Expect $100 per pair, but it is very worth it.

H&M makes a lot of nice shirts and pants at good prices. Though they're still expanding, so they may or may not be in your area.

Nordstrom rack is kinda like a treasure hunt.

2 pants, 5 shirts, 10 outfits.
