The clothes do make the man and the superman scenerio is true. I don't think there's a pricepoint though. If you feel like a badass you'll be a badass. I did my last interview in pajamas and didn't do great, but I got the job and after I had been working a while I got some great compliments about how I was the best person hired in at least the last decade.

Would it look ok if the tie had a small pattern of circles whose formation looks like stripes from say 10 ft away?

ZZ Top says it best!
Sharp Dressed Man.
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit,black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain' missin'not a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz' every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.

I didn't say $1000 was some magic number, the fact is that $1000 suit is still a bit cheap but it's probably good enough to make you the best dressed guy in the room. If you aren't then you've failed and your $300 suit says, "I'm nobody important and I have nothing interesting to say and the only reason I'm wearing this is because my boss told me to. I can only be counted on to do the minimum required to get by."
If you don't think a top-shelf suit doesn't effect how you feel about yourself then you haven't worn one. You should try it. It could change your life.

Definitely makes a difference in the suit you where "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have"

Just so peeps know most BB suits fall into the 4-800 dollar range depending on material, style, and their tailors will fit the suit to you accordingly. Its not that expensive in the grand scheme of things for a high quality product.
Look at this way...if you are going for a job that pays 60k.....700 bucks is drop in the bucket. Look sharp....dress to impress and have nice shoes and always knot your tie in a Windsor. Not a half...but the Full Windsor. A fat, well done Windsor knot says I have power and style. Always!
