I just received letter that my interview for my 10 year green this coming Tuesday. The only thing that stressing me out is I don’t have any suits to wear. I have dress shirt and pants. Someone told me that I should wear business casual. Been looking online but for asian like me its all big for my size…

We attended an AOS interview on the way to go camping.  There is no requirement to dress up.

Oh thanks for letting me know

Dress shirt and pants is business casual.  Business formal  would add a jacket and tie.   Try an actual bricks and mortar retail such as a used clothing shop (e.g. Goodwill Industries).

I had a friend in college who was quite short and he would buy clothes from the children’s section, which often would fit him very well.

Basically no dress code other than the bare minimum "shirt and shoes required." Just use common sense. Dress shirt and pants is more than enough really.

 

Not sure where you live but Uniqlo is a Japanese clothing store chain and they carry basically Asian sizes. You could consider ordering online as well if you're not near a physical store.

I wore dress pants and a shirt for our AOS interview.

As for the suits, I actually got my first ones that would fit me in Man's Warehouse. The deal was two for $100 and that included tailor work.

Again, I don't think you need to dress up like you are going for a wedding. Business casual is what you have described in your original post.

Good Luck!
