I'll be joining a new worplace later this year, the average age is between 30-35, I'm 21.
It's a SaaS company, I'll be responsible for marketing and also some sales (50/50).
I'm wondering what kind of attire you'd seem appropriate?

Khakis, loafers, button down J.crew shirt tucked in. Throw a sweater over top in the winter. You’ll look great. Sport coat if you’re meeting a higher profile person. My company wears ties too, I’m on the younger side. I wear a tie every now and then because I’d rather not feel like I work in 1995.
Mid 20s. Exactly what I wear everyday, except I don't tuck in my shirt. Easy, very comfortable and looks good for any occasion.
Thank you!
Depends a lot on the corporate culture but a safe semi professional attire is khaki, blue, or grey Dockers slacks. Cotton blend long sleeve shirt. Stripes and checkerboard patterns are popular. Solid color is a safe bet. Picture patterns like palm trees, flamingos, skull and crossbones are to be avoided. Shoes vary but a nice pair of leather shoes in brown, blue or black would be good. Nicer canvas shoes or boat shoes are popular but more casual. Get a nice solid neutral color vest or sports coat for more professional days. When in doubt ask your manager or a mentor at the company for their opinion.
Thank you!

In San Francisco it’s jeans, clean sneakers or boots, and either a blank t shirt or really anything for a top.
I've always dressed the way my boss did. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
Here's how you dress for the next 79 years.
Buy high quality, top shelf, breathable, weather-right white dress shirts. You're going to need 100-1,000 of them. You'll need 3 pairs of suits. Tailored. High-quality. The basic. Charcoal black, Grey, Royal Navy Blue. Start from that and over the years, you'll have dozens of them in different shades. If you can get away with a pair of Nikes due to your age, great. Nice clean sneakers or a pair of comfortable loafers. Since you said semi-professional, you don't need a tie. Just get a nice belt.
That's how you dress. Everywhere. Weekends (if you can't because of your friends, you'll need new friends too). With parents. They'll be proud of you. Church. Dates. Bar. Job interviews, random meeting with someone, networking. Most importantly, it is important to "forget" the whole process of your attire. If you can just automate in your head: white shirt, slacks, shoes, coat on. You're done. You shouldn't be thinking about your clothing ever again.
There are books on success written about this and this is how the best of the best men in society deal with their clothing.
Hey!
Thank you!
What other tips these books give?
Would people begin to realize you keep alternating between 3 suits?
I absolutely hate having to match my clothes out in the mornings.
The truth is, one suit and nobody cares. 3 suits is for you.
Well said
