I’d wear the following:

-Polo shirt. Get one that fits nice. (A&F and RL are my polos of choice). Make sure it’s not baggy and if it’s an interview he should tuck it in to his…

-Khaki pants. You can’t go wrong with khakis. Well, you can if you have the cargo kind. They look tacky. Get regular khakis, pleating optional. My favorite khakis are Bill’s Khakis (tough to find) and Dockers.

-Shoes: Brown rockports should be your shoes of choice. Or a shoe that’s pretty close. As long as they aren’t sneakers you’re fine. Make sure he’s got khaki socks on as well.

-Hat: Lose the ballcap.

-Optional if it’s cold: a sweater. Wear it over the polo shirt–that collar underneath looks classy.

-Jacket: if you’re going to wear a coat that you’ll take off later make sure it looks nice. I have a down jacket from A&F (they don’t make them this year but I’m sure other companies have something similar) that is solid navy blue and looks really nice.

Belt: don’t forget one!!!

I wear polo/khakis almost every day (plus a sweater today). This has been the case for years now–I got into this style in 1993 when I was in first grade.
