Or perhaps particular brands you would recommend?

Thanking you sincerely,

Dear Bond,

I'll level with you. I'm not up on brands. So I can't really be much help there. I would just suggest that you don't wear tan khakis, or any light blue pinstripe shirts. As the 80's are now over. Stick with black or very dark pants always. Maybe throw on a really slick looking blazer on some days. As long as you feel comfortable, and remember that they're just the clothes you work in. It's not a competition, it's just a job.

Apologetically yours, Typh.
