Is there a consensus on which one is better for interviews?

Two botton Ivy League cut will always be in style. Three botton if you want to look like sopranos' Chrisopher moltisanti.

Two button unless you are really tall.

Have you seen the lack of fashion sense by the vast majority of physicians? I wouldn't stress, bro.

 

[WheezyBaby]

3 button is fine if it's a 3 roll 2 or some variation of such. Traditional 3 buttons tend to come across as ostentatious

 

[mimelim]

I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't want to be in a program where this made any bit of difference.

Then again, I'm in a program that my former program director threatened to fire me if he saw me wearing a suit in the hospital.

Anything less than 5 buttons dooms you to family medicine in North Dakota

 

[RangerBob]

I doubt anyone will care or notice. Wear the suit that looks better/is more affordable.

 

[tymont12]

2 or 3 Probably doesn't matter, but never button the bottom button.

 

[fssca20]

3 button?? Gross!

 

[judb16]

what the hell is this.

 

[dirtdiver]

The only thing that matters is, if it fits correctly and if you button it correctly.

Why would you be wearing a suit in a hospital?

This is awesome!

If you attend conferences and such. Try wearing a pocket hanky with one!

I googled it. It's "Sometimes, always, never". Of course there are only two reasons to wear a three button suit: 1) you are monstrously tall, 2) you found a time machine to take you back to the 90's.

 

[Entadus]

I think if I were 6'5" or taller I would try rocking the 3-button suit.

Average height --> there is no choice. 2 button all the way

 

[674221]

Three buttons is a little 90s, Mr. Wayne.

 

[meurotic]

I'm 6'4" and can only pull off a three button suit. I definitely follow the sometimes, always, never rule. Not trying to look like Kramer from Seinfeld.

My suggestion for interviews of ANY type would be NOT to be the kind of applicant that worries about 2 versus 3 buttons on your suit.

truth. I acquired like six suits when I was there=tax deduction

I would stick with two buttons. It's classic and timeless

Taking pride in your appearance is an admirable quality.

Idk, Steve Harvey looks damn good in 3 button suits and he's only 6'2"...

I don't understand anything that's going on in this post

The world of fashion would disagree with you, but to each their own.

Edit: Not trying to recommend people wear a 3-button suit, just saying it works for some people.

Wasn't aware the world of fashion had given accolades to Steve Harvey for his suits. Either way, the "world of fashion" makes people look like clowns all the time in their runway shows.

I hope this was a joke. It's commonly accepted that Steve Harvey looks terrible. Nobody actually thinks he looks good in those awful ridiculous suits.

 

[FBurnaby]

He's gotten better, and makes a great move now and then, but Steve Harvey has been synonymous with vomitous style. Perhaps the "world of fashion" forgot his ten button suits.

Dumb question:

If we should never button the bottom button of a 2 button suit, why is there a button there at all?

The QI people at my institution would correctly point out that this is a system failure issue. Placing the button there clearly suggests that it should be buttoned, and hence someone will button it, yielding a catastrophe. Hence, the button should be removed for the good of all mankind. I should put some sort of hashtag here, but I don't know how to twitter.

It exists to identify the fashionably challenged

Same reason they sew the vents shut and put designer labels on the sleeves.

For the extremely lazy interviewee:

It's actually a zip-up one-piece glorified onesie. https://www.betabrand.com/mens-business-suit-onesie-hybrid.html

I plan on wearing a suit to clinic and when I see inpatients as an attending.

When you say suit, do you mean with a white coat or a suit jacket?

 

[username456789]

Which one of those two is a suit?

Hint: only one is them is a suit.

who calls slacks and a white coat a suit? 😳

I've come across this once before where a doctor called the attire a suit, which I thought was ridiculous. I just can't be too sure anymore, especially with doctors, which is why I asked SS

 

[Promethean]

So, why would you do that? (Wear a hard to properly and frequently clean suit jacket to a place filled with communicable diseases and body fluids?)

 

[67552931811]

Correct. I mean a suit

You should wear a white coat over your suit.
