Katie, that is too funny. I believe the collar predicament is the same reason why my boyfriend doesn’t care for half-zips.

Yeah, what’s up with guys and half-zips? I love them on men and think they look great on my bf, but he hates them too! Says he doesn’t know what to do with the collar… leave it up, fold it down…?

Sophie, they are actually not fitted in real life. My boyfriend likes to wear his pants loose. He says they fit comfortably around that area.

I always liked corduroy pants, but I don’t know about these particular ones. The guy in the picture looks like they’re giving him a wedgie.

Isabella, I have the same pet peeve! Also, I hate it when people say “laxadaisical”. It’s not even a word! It’s either “lax” or “lackadaisical”, which have similar meanings. O.K., I think I’ve been on the computer way too long now…

The expression is actually “couldn’t care less.” You are emphasizing how little he cares. Saying “he could care less” means that in fact, he does care about what he wears. Don’t mean to offend you, but this is a pet peeve of mine

Sally, I really don’t understand why men are always feeling restricted in their clothes. Must be some man thing we don’t know about.

That is the same reason my boyfriend gives me. he wants to wear everything so loose and then it just looks like he borrowed it from his older brother who is bigger than he is.

AJ, first of all, good luck on your interview!

Like all the others said, I would wear khakis to the interview rather than jeans. Once you work there, I believe that you can wear jeans. My personal shopper is usually wearing jeans when I see him in the store.

I think the interview is basically a chance for them to get to know you and see if you are a good fit. I don’t many people who have applied to work and at J.Crew and were denied the chance.

I am sure you will do great! Please let us know how it goes!

Also, what do they ask you in these retail store interviews and what are they looking for?

Elizabeth, my husband has the same problem of wearing tops too big. I think some men envision their shoulders being bigger than they actually are. He says he feels “restricted” if he can’t freely wave his arms all around. I say “Honey, why do you even need to do that?” I’m trying to get him to start following the trend of men’s clothes being more of a “skinny” fit.
