Interview attire? Dark Blue&Gray VS Black?

[Rally]

Somehow I just know I'm gonna get funny remarks but hey here goes. I have seen the navy blue/dark gray suit arguements. I have a plain BLACK suit from mens warehouse that was pretty pricey, white bottom down long sleave shirt. Is this acceptable? I am going to get a conservative tie and a set of nice black dress shoes with the same color socks as the does. LOL My GF is arguing with me telling me she thought it might be worth buying a dark grey or dark blue suit, does it really make a difference?

Thanks

Professional!

You're going to an interview, not a funeral. Any suit is fine as long as it fits and is clean and pressed.

So you saying no black because its too funerally?

Too formal, Dark Navy. You cannot go wrong. What else are you going to go as, Brown/Green? Whats the point, Navy.

If you don't really care about where you are interviewing, then wear your black suit, and see if anyone says anything.

It's kind of dumb, but I think it matters a little, how much depends on who is interviewing you, and these days it's feminazi types in HR who don't know anything about planes except they go up in the air when the process of turning gas into noise begins.

Dark Blue, and SINGLE BREASTED. White shirt, and a nice forgettable tie.

It makes no difference, black is okay blue is okay... My uniform is black so I went with black. When I interview at a place that wears navy I'll go with navy.

Regionals are so desperate for pilots you could probably wear plaid with ruffles and a paisley tie from the 80's and it wouldn't matter, as long as you can hold altitude and know how to properly enter a holding pattern. And even that is negotiable.

Dark gray or drk blue Clown suit will be fine. Either one will get the job. Double breasted clown suit if delta interview. Be sure you show up a little late for the interview....that way they know you will be the typical new age employee. Oh...be sure to tell em it was not your fault. They respect that.

If the suit looks good on you, and you look comfortable in it, then it'll be fine. That's much more important than a specific color.

Everybody tells you, "Plain navy suit, red tie!" The last two job offers I got were in a charcoal gray suit and a navy pinstripe suit with a blue pattern tie. That it looks good and complements you is far more important than looking like a clone of everyone else.



The only look I'd avoid is this one.
