The UA may not be shooting for tuxes at job interviews, as modeled above by Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Stepbrothers, but it does want to help ensure its graduates are appropriately dressed.

The fine line between comfort and appropriate work attire? The Work Blog asks, what fine line? Birks are today's wing tips. While a few of us old fogies may hold out against such change, the definition of appropriate work attire must evolve to keep pace with ever-shifting cultural outlooks.

Casual Fridays (remember them?) seem to have morphed into everyday attire at most places. Theses days, therefore, appropriate work dress can very well mean shorts and Birks. (We gotta throw these young 'uns a bone, we suppose. In our day, that 'bone' was a stick upside the head, but we digress.)

There remains, however, one fine line that refuses to be crossed. One aspect of the vocational arts that hasn't changed, and isn't likely to change. And that's appropriate attire for a job interview. With a few exceptions, starched khakis and an ironed polo shirt are pretty much the bare minimum for any job interviewee.

With that in mind, the Walton Business College on the Hill has come up with a plan to outfit its soon-to-be graduates and thus aspiring employed. It has opened up, and is attempting to stock, the Career Closet.

The UA figures its business grads should dress for success, and recognizes how hard that can be for real-world neophytes who possess nothing more than a laptop and a winning attitude.

The idea behind the Career Closet is for folks to donate gently used men's and women's professional and business-casual apparel -- you know, work clothes -- that will provide Walton College grads with appropriate attire in which to interview for good jobs. Flip-flops and cargo shorts -- not so much appropriate interview attire. Tuxedos, a la Brennan and Dale from Stepbrothers? Again, not so much. In fact, way too much.

From the Hill:

The purpose of the Career Closet is to provide, free of charge, a resource of upscale, gently used business casual and business professional attire available to all currently enrolled Walton College students. The Career Closet can help students with their professional dress needs whether it may be for an interview, a career fair, office visit, or on the job. The ideal Career Closet donation items are timeless business/work attire pieces of all sizes, preferably purchased within the last five years, including suits, jackets, pants, skirts, shirts, sweaters, blouses, handbags, ties, belts and shoes.

Got any clothes for the cause? Check here for details on how to donate them.

In the meantime, all you HR managers, beware. The next shiny happy UA business grad you interview for that entry-level position may be wearing used clothes. Just sayin'.

But used khakis trump plaid shorts in the job-interview arena any day, right?
