1. What for? A decent job interview? Or something more artsy? If it’s the latter, then yes, try wearing a sweater and not a shirt in that case. Otherwise, wouldn’t try it.

2. Yes :-p But if you’re a waiter with training, at least show in black trousers and a perfectly ironed white shirt.

3. Doesn’t matter, as long as you CAN knot it that way. I pretty much always use a pratt-knot, but that’s a personal thing.

4.With those dances, just overdress, everybody does. If you want free range of motion, wear a gilet under your vest so you can take it off without losing style.

1): is wearing a grey blazer with black slacks acceptable?

2): is it considered “overdressed” to show up to an interview for an essentially glorified coffee shop in a suit and tie?

3): Which knot for a tie is accpetable for an interview, four-in-hand, windsor, pratt, or square?
and
4): As far as dancing (swing, lindy, three-step, etc.) attire goes, what would be an acceptable outfit for a semiformal dance that gives free range of motion, but does not sacrifice taste and class in the process?

Feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank you
