It’s not the suit I care about, actually, but I’d like you to wear a blazer.  We need to project to these editors that you (as an author) have a professionalism that they wouldn’t expect of you as a hacker, say.  I know it sounds stupid, and obviously you can do what you prefer, but that’s my vote.  Jacket, shirt and jeans?  That’s fine.  Even Chuckie Taylors—so long as you’ve got jacket on top.  

 

Sorry if it feels like I’m in the role of Downpresser Man, but these publishers are a semi-squeamish group…

 

Barrett, you too—if you can bear to wear a blazer, that’d be great.  No ties, and I don’t particularly car about a full suit—we can make ME wear the suit, how ‘bout that?

I own some nice clothes that work in place of a suit, but I also own a suit if need be.  I hate suits, the very idea of them aggravates me.  I have a black suit only though.

 

I have really nice button up shirts that go well with black pants and a shirt that goes over them.  Its what I have worn to some interviews.
