...Raphael Susewind Doctoral candidate (Universität Bielefeld) and Associate (University of Oxford) Exploring Muslim belonging, the ambivalence of the sacred and diplomatic culture in India Academic dresscode (for men) I always wanted to blog about academic attire - every time I returned from a sartorially desastrous conference (frequently), every time I saw a colleague who knows how to dress without being arrogant (once in a while), every time I received comments on my own attire - appreciative (occasionally) or otherwise (rarely). A recent post on the Thesis Whisperer, and the ensuing discussion on #phdchat gave me the last necessary kick to finally write down my two cents. While doing so, I again realized that most commentary and advice out there is for women - arguably because female academics tend to be under much more scrutiny in these matters. For men, I only came across a classic rant at Inside Higher Ed - and a piece in the Chronicle which asks all the right questions - about geography, discipline, campus and role - but provides no answers. Without claiming exemplarity, I thus decided to flung open my wardrobe and assemble all those things I wore during the last couple of months in official academic contexts (except fieldwork - where I tend to wear a simple trouser-shirt-combo - but the same rules apply there, too). The collection is pictured to the right - and I will go through three classic occasions to explain what I wear, and more importantly my reasoning behind...

...The short story our group chose was “Tell-Tale Heart”. We chose to set it in modern times and keep the story basically the same except for tweaks such as the use of technology. The story only has four characters, the main man that goes insane, the old man, and the two detectives that are called towards the end. The main characters name is Gunter Kroger; this character was the one I was trying to spend the most time with because he is ultimately the most important. The group’s character inspiration for him was Ari Millen from the show Orphan Black. I wanted this character to be extremely well put together and fashionable. I originally was looking at suits and business attire, but once I started exploring more I loved the look of the more business...

...You decide to spice up your wardrobe today and wear a tie. But what accessory would make you the envy of all of your friends? Yes, grab the “Beatles Tie Tack” and top off your runway fashion design! One of the most significant Beatle Tie Tac' manufactures in the USA in 1964 and 1965 (the ‘Official Tie Tack Pin’) was by Press Initial Corp of Rhode Island and fully authorized by NEMS and Selteab. There were at least six different styles made at this time, four of them featured the head of either John, Paul, George, or Ringo. These had the designation of “Official Tie Tac Pins” and most had the additional verbiage “by Press-INitial Corp. ©1964 NEMS Enterprises Ltd”. Some had an added disclaimer “Manufactured under license from Seltaeb Inc. The ONLY official licenses with exclusive rights to the manufacture and distribution of Beatle Tie Tac Pins”. There was one design that had two types very similar. One cardboard piece was sold as a 'four-on-one-card' with 1” Beatles’ heads with a wallet-size photo on the left-hand side of the cardboard. The other comparable type had a single brass tac on the right-hand side with the same band photo on the left-hand side. Both had “Official Tie Tac Pin”...

This activity instilled in us the power of observation and helped us know various aspects that a customer keep’s in his/her mind while making a purchase decision. Buying Process: 1. Need Recognition- Observation- The lady was specifically looking for pastel colored suits (ethnic wear) with very light embroidery or design. Inference- Maybe she wore Indian formals to her office. She had a need to buy suits for her office wear purposes. 2. Information Search- Observation- Initially the lady specifically looked for brands like Biba and ‘W’. Inference- Maybe through her past shopping experience she wanted to but only these two brands. She was comfortable with the fit and style of these two brands and was quite satisfied with its quality. She was looking for limited set of colors, so that reduced her information search For the next pair of suit she asked for assistance to match a churidaar for her. Again the service of sales people reduced her activity of information search. 3. Evaluation of alternatives- Observation-The lady took 4 sets of suits to the trial room and returned 2 sets.

What I have found is that, you have to be extremely aware of the many cultures you have to deal with. For instance you have to know that many people from India are vegan, or that people in Hawaii are less formal than people in New York, so don’t show up in a suit. Or New York you better be dressed to the T, Tie and suit is not optional. One custom that I find hard to understand is Japanese businessmen avoiding eye-contact during a meeting.

...arbiters of all things preppy introduced a style of suit in the 1950s which was markedly different in cut from the English suits then being worn by East Coast establishment figures. The Brooks Brothers "Sack Suit," also known as the Ivy League look, was boxy, not fitted - straight up and down, not tailored at the waist. The shoulders were softer and narrower, not as stiffly padded as those in upright English models. The jacket was relatively short, particularly by today's standards, and had one centre vent. This comfortable if unsexy suit became the uniform of the American businessman, and it definitely influenced Italian designers, who also produce loose and less stiffly constructed suits. However, there are so many variations in suit design these days, across all national borders, that it is hard to identify one particular national style. Brooks Brothers probably still makes these square 1950s-style suits. I wouldn't know - ask your dad. Double-Breasted Suits These always seem dressier to me, and flashier, than other suits. They are often favoured by portly men, as their uniformly cylindrical silhouette camouflages the bulbous figure. But I think they look slick on slender men, too, particularly if they are fairly fitted. Here's the tricky thing to note about doublebreasted suits: the number of buttons varies. Again, the more modern the suit, the higher the buttons will go, and the less shirt-and-tie will be exposed. There are two rows of buttons,...

...Yet, dress codes vary according to the position you have in the company, industrial sector and region. The higher the position within a larger business, the more formal will be the dress code with formal suit and tie being worn. The further south you go, the more informal business dress becomes, with open shirt and pants being the norm. Women are particularly fashion conscious in both their social and business wear, and are famous for their restrained, feminine chic. A well-tailored business suit or dress is appropriate and good shoes are a must. Careful accessorising (even of simple outfits but not glitzy or flashy ones) is also widely seen in both countries. French and Spanish women are also more careful with makeup than many of their European counterparts and place a huge emphasis on skin care and put light and classic makeup on. But as Spanish weather can be very hot, it is usually acceptable to wear lightweight suits, to loosen your tie and throw your jacket over your shoulder. Unlike in France, executives/businessmen usually do not loosen their ties or take off their jackets at any...
