Default looking sharp

Say you work for a high profile company catering to all the biggest, riches clients. Appearance is crucial in such an environment.

You are about to meet a celebrity client who's worth 8 figures and is willing to conduct the most expensive business venture the company has ever known with you. You are meeting him at an outdoor VIP function with other high profile clients. What do you wear?

Did I mention the company gave you $15,000 to spend so you can look your best? Only one catch, you have to spend all the money accessorizing yourself. Be creative. Remember, appearance is crucial.

See if you can track down what your client wore at previous outdoor VIP functions and dress like he did (within reason). If your appearance is familiar to them, things should go a lot smoother I'd think.

Whatever you do, make sure the outfit somehow incorporates a cape and a gilded cane.

Sweat pants and one of those T-Shirts with a tuxedo on it. Possibly slippers as well.

The cape and cane will accessorize well with this get up. You will land the account for sure. Especially if the client is Flava-flav.

A watch you can keep forever is a good idea.

Perhaps some 'Grills'

I think the moral of the story is this might be the wrong place to ask for clothes advice
