BB, I noticed the haircut - your look is totally different now! I like it and it makes you look older as well as more professional. And it sets off your jawline in a way that your old haircut didn't. Good choice.

Re suits. A very subtle dark charcoal pinstripe is a very classic suit, As is a high quality solid black. Those are the only two non uniform suits that JC owns. He has white (several), blue with white collar, and cream on white pinstripe shirts plus three colored shirts with coordinating ties (black, electric blue and burgandy). Those last three are for socializing and church, but not business, though.

While you'll need to look good and can use this time to start your work wardrobe, just don't spend a ton of money on it. Remember, after November, your opportunities to wear civilian suits will go WAY down. JC's civilian suits mostly live in the closet here and he wears his Class A's or Dress Blues. He says that dockers and a sports jacket have pretty much covered anything his uniforms don't.

He cleans up well, and so do you.
