<p>We pretty much followed the advice that sox mom shared in post #21. For his Thacher visit, DS wore nice jeans (stone-washed medium blue Levis), a collared polo-type shirt, and brown boat-shoe type loafers. At Deerfield, he wore khaki pants, brown belt, light blue button-down oxford shirt, a blue blazer, striped tie, and the same brown shoes. He was accepted at both schools.</p>
<p>Yes, clothes do matter - but it is much, much more important to be comfortable enough in what you’re wearing that it’s not a distraction. The way you present yourself (body language, posture) and your ability to project confidence (eye contact, firm handshake) will take you much further than whether or not you wear the “right” clothes.</p>
