When is a ponytail on a man appropriate?

On Friday, my boss called me into a meeting and announced that we may have a new job on a secret, three-legged island that would involve me meeting the developers.

He basically suggested that I would need to "look smart" (which was basically suggesting that my Dave Mustaine look wasn't cutting it).

Now, my question to you learned folk is: can I get away with putting the African Sunset into a ponytail, and keep the beard?

Bearing in mind that I will be wearing a (cheap) suit, will the wrestler look be okay?

Do I:

A) Put it into a ponytail and keep the beard?;
B) Put it into a pontail and shave the beard?;
C) Buy a better suit?:
D) Hope that all me on the secret island approve of the '80s-martial-art-movie-henchman look?; or (Satan forbid)
E) Get a haircut?

Yours, in anticipation,

Rico de la Puno.

P.S. - I have attached some images to help you in your decision-making process.

or get a mullet with merv hughes tash. show them it could be worse.

Cornrows.

Lose the beard, slick back your hair and put it into a pony. Next, buy a vintage hugo boss suit as this will help to create the stylish veneer of an 80's, synergy loving stockbroker. This will earn you the respect both of your (presumably 1980's loving) boss and your new clients. Bam!

Do you have curly hair?

How long is long?

How bad is your suit? (If it's a yuppie wine bar-esque petrol blue number then nothing you do to your hair will distract anyone from noticing just how vile your attire is.

What, you mean, like, rollers?

can you dye it black and pull off lovejoy?

As I said, how bad is your suit? Do you wear it or does it wear you? Are you comfortable in it, and I don't mean is it comfortable. All that "clothes don't maketh the man" isn't strictly true, but first impressions do last.

Chances are, if you look like a twat they'll always think you're a twat however good you are at your job or however effective your presence at this meeting is.

Don't dress like this..
