SuaveSosa Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Which should I wear, a blazer or a suit? I'm a guy. Assume they're both navy (with different color slacks for the blazer of course).
MJA87 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I haven't attended any admitted student events, and I might be way off base, but isn't that a little over dressed? I'd definitely be wearing some slacks and a tucked-in button-down, but not a full suit/jacket (unless it's really cold I guess?). Edited April 8, 2015 by MJA87 Alex604 and .letmeinplz// 2

Tairy Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Generic everyday stuff, but my field is pretty informal and people don't care that much. WhatAmIDoingNow 1
Atlas445 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Well his username is "SuaveSosa" so... there's that. But seriously, that username & question together made me laugh for some reason so thank you haha!

SuaveSosa Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 This really depends on the program and the city. DC and "government affairs."

Well looking at your sig, I would say imagine it like a mixer with legislature coworkers. Would you wear a tie with the button down?
WhatAmIDoingNow Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 DC and "government affairs." "government affairs" is broad. International relations, MPA, MPP, Nonprofit management, national security studies, a bunch of other ones floating around. If government workers will be there, suit. If faculty and other academics, blazer.
albuhhh Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Current student, attended a fair share of these last year. The answer is neither. I actually enjoy getting dressed up, but in this case, a suit or blazer would be totally unnecessary. A button down and chinos would be more than enough if you want to look nice, but even that isn't required. WhatAmIDoingNow 1
