Grapevinehill Presents A Recent Grads Guide to Discount Dress Shoes for Men
In the last few months, thousands of students graduated from colleges and universities across the United States. For many of those men, a spring formal may have been the last time wore a pair of dress shoes. After four years of flip-flops and sneakers, the work force beckons, and Grapevinehill has some suggestions on how to dress like a V.P. on an entry-level salary.
THE INTERVIEW For the interview, keep things very buttoned-down.
