The Interview Suit

[Jet_Driver]

So, let me pool the group. Which color of suit is better for an interview: Black or Navy Blue?

As far as ties go, I would assume red or blue with a white shirt.

I am interviewing with NWA soon.

[Yuppyguppy]

nah that looks too much like BUSH

"Charcoal" worked for me. Most had navy though.

I wore navy pinstripe, white shirt, red tie. My g/f talked me into burgundy shoes and belt to go with it. Most there that day had navy suits, white shirts and blue ties

Don't forget to show some cleavage.

It really doesn't make any difference, as long as you present yourself in a professional manner. I went to one of those big name interview prep outfits, and it was a complete waste of time and $. The "specialist" insisted I should wear a red tie and gave me some canned answers (which were very wrong, it turned out). He didn't like my pinstripe suit either. I stuck with both the suit and the non-red tie and got the job.

The important thing is that you look professional. Give them a firm handshake and look them in the eyes when you introduce yourself. Give honest, sincere answers and relax.

What, the navy suit, or the push-up bra?

Giggity.

You want the suit to look as much like a uniform as possible. Navy blue, white shirt conservative tie.

The guys wearing other colors stand out, you don't want to stand apart from the crowd due to your clothes.

Navy blue as a color is used to project authority. Think about which occupations wear navy blue uniforms.

I wore Beige suit Light green shirt with a matching beige tie. and worked for me. I wanted to stand out and it worked . they remembered my name, and the conversations seem more relaxed and personal.

The salesguy at Men's Wearhouse told me my new suit was charcoal, but it looks more like black. Good for funerals, I guess.
White shirt, burgundy and blue tie, muted pattern.
Worked at my ual interview recently.
I really think they want to evaluate your experience, personality, technical knowledge more, though.
Color not really important, as is ability to project a conservative, businesslike appearance.
Do that, and don't talk yourself out of the job, and your in, once you get the interview.
Good Luck

dont forget to put your briefcase/man purse on the right side of you chair when you sit down and dont take the glass of water.... wait... or you do take the water but only with your left hand..... ahhh hell...

 

[Bigoober]

Black is for a funeral or secret service. Of course, like Johnny Cash said, maybe that is where you are going.

Dk grey worked for me...not too loud of a tie either.
