Chill.Haha. I know I should dress properly. But other than black business pants, any other colours? Will khaki do the job? Or too casual?

Black is a little boring. Lol.

On top of that, you think i can just use the SAF no.3 shoes? Heh.

Going for an interview is not the time to try to be different or "fashionable". Stick to the "boring" black pants, long-sleeved shirt and leather shoes. Khaki is definitely lies on the smart casual - business casual category. Always better to be overdressed than underdressed for an interview. Although most people go for an interview usually just business casual (aka long sleeve shirt and pants without tie), it's always good and presentable to go with a tie. Not only shows u being presentable, it also indirectly shows ur respect towards the company and how serious u are with the coy.

Roger that.

How about the fit? Can I go in black dress pants that are on the skinny side?

Wearing regular fit is too baggy for me.

Define too baggy? If too baggy, then you can alter it a bit.
Skinny business pants is definitely a no-no.

I don't mean skinny until the herms are so tight. Maybe just slim fit instead of straight cut. (See Topman pants)

I wear a fitted shirt so if I get a regular fit pants, even if the waist fits, the trunks will be too broad such that I look very comical.

Economical - Office Wear

Looking good has a name: Prada. Looking good also has a price: very expensive !!

Business casual has come to take on a variety of meanings -- most of which are misconceptions. Society has constructed this term to mean "anything other than a suit and tie."

So, what does "business casual" actually mean? Think of it this way: no jeans, no ties. Anything in between this spectrum is acceptable -- provided the outfit is assembled properly. From khakis and slacks to dress shirts and sweaters, you should be able to build enough of a varied wardrobe that'll impress the whole business casual boardroom.

1- Economical pants
Label: Ben Sherman / G2000 / Topman

Ben Sherman's Corbett-fit tapered pants will help you find that appropriate middle ground between uber-dressy and under-dressy, while still staying stylish and sophisticated. Go for this dark gray pair, as they'll be easier to mix and match with your shirts collection.


2- Economical dress shirt
Label: Gap

Ok, it's 100% cotton and has a straight collar and chest pocket, so you know this microscopic investment will be a fashionable and durable part of your business casual look for some time.

3- Economical shoes
Label: Zara / Pedro

If you are looking for style yet very much affordable, Pedro is probably men would choose. Zara is way above Pedro in term of comfortness and reliability.


Dressing appropriately for work is one of the most important daily tasks you have. The man in the best business casual garb will demand the right amount of respect and attention he needs in order to climb his way up the ladder.

how much does a ben sherman slim pants cost ?

^ usually, they are sized according to your chest measurements. For casual ones, maybe try an m or l.
