A&M graduate, currently lives in New York City and said the biggest problem his company has when bringing A&M graduates to New York City for interviews is that many do not “look the part." “My wardrobe went from jeans and T-shirts to Hermes ties and Turnbull and Asser shirts when I moved to New York." Casey said. “My advice is spend the money on a nice suit by going to Saks or Neiman Marcus and having it tailored well because it makes a lot of difference. If you cannot afford that, go to Saks Off Fifth or Neiman Marcus Last Call and buy something traditional and safe ... two-button, single-breasted, dark colors.” As Aggies, our love for tradition is endless, and for some, no matter where they go.
