I would buy clothes with no distinctive marks if I could find them. Uniqlo
Old Navy / Gap have similar offerings as well. I haven't seen a Uniqlo store in the US, although their website seems to imply they exist. Edit: ok, they seem to be in larger cities. I'm in the Wisconsin, I was able to find that there are stores in Chicago, for instance.
I was having this talk the other day: I hate "high end" logo clothes and don't want to compete with people that showcase their logo clothes. The average clothing store is decent enough for me. I would buy clothes with no distinctive marks if I could find them. Just plain material and colors.
> I would buy clothes with no distinctive marks if I could find them. Find a local tailor. Pick the fabrics you want from a catalog. Get your clothes made for your body while supporting someone's small business and artistic craft.

>virtue emojis on Twitter and GitHub That's pretty unnecessarily negative/uncharitable. I know people (usually older) who are perfectly un-self-interested and unconditionally sympathetic to all people who use "virtue emojis" very innocently/sincerely on their social media. All you have is the word of my anecdote, but these individuals are not engaging in self-promotion (unless one expansively defines it to include al…

I was told it is never a faux pas to show up over dressed, but it is to be under dressed. If you look like a pimp, that's one thing. Showing up in a nice pair of pants and shirt when everyone else is in shorts and t-shirts is different.
So like wearing a tuxedo to a job interview is kosher? It’s not wearing a pimp outfit, but surely there are so many examples of wearing inappropriate fancy clothes that you can’t really say that it’s never possible to overdress.

Except for sneakers, I can't think of a single category of clothing where it is common to have visible logos?

If that's the spirit in which you want to take this conversation then, yes, absolutely, show up to a job interview in a tux. If you're applying any where other than Downton Abbey, then you get what you deserve for taking the conversation in this direction

I don't think you are the target demographic this article is referencing.
yea this is aimed at people who earn £30k a year, but still have to be seen wearing a £1.5k Canada Goose jacket
A long time ago in one of the first properties I rented the washing machine stopped working. My flatmate called the agency and a day later, I think it was a Saturday morning, a rough looking man turned up to repair it. I remember he had a tattered pair of working jeans and a similarly tattered polo shirt on. He pulled the machine out, took it apart diagnosed the issue and popped out to his car get a part. While he wa…
