The outfit

Startups often want smart, not stiff. A black shirt and charcoal trouser keep the formality but feel modern. What to keep in mind: The shirt is Oxford cotton and needs ironing.

Flat lay of a black easy-iron Oxford formal shirt, charcoal wrinkle-free stretch trousers, black leather round-toe loafers and a black-dial watch with a silver-toned steel strap.

Our verdict

Smart, not stiff, for a startup interview: a black oxford shirt and charcoal stretch trousers that feel modern.

Why it works

  • A black shirt and charcoal trousers keep the formality but look less corporate than white.
  • The Pant Project trousers are wrinkle-free stretch, so they hold up through a long day of rounds.
  • The slim black dial watch and leather-soled loafers keep the finish minimal.

Keep in mind

  • The shirt is Oxford cotton and still needs ironing, despite the easy-iron label.
  • A black shirt shows lint and deodorant marks clearly, so check it before you leave.
