Specifically For Men
- We recommend wearing a matching suit in navy, black or gray (pinstripe or solid) or a navy blazer and gray dress slacks.
- Select a white or a light blue dress shirt that contrasts with the jacket and/or tie. Typically, arms should be covered to the wrist. Exposing arms by rolling up your sleeves is interpreted as less powerful and is less formal.
- Tie's should be silk or silk-like. They should coordinate with the jacket and pant but choose one that strongly contrasts with the color of your shirt; selecting subtle or simple patterns enhances credibility. Be careful in tying the knot, the half-windsor is recommended.
- Socks should be calf-length or above the calf. Choose colors such as dark blue, black or gray.
- Select lace-up (not slip-on) dress shoes. The color should be dark or blend with pant.
- Select a leather belt that visually blends or matches your shoes.
- A short hair cut and no facial hair is expected.
- Minimize jewelry. Avoid a necklace. Wear no more than one ring per hand and a dress watch.
- A full-length coat can be worn over your suit; avoid casual coats.
- Cologne should never be strong. A fragrance can cause an allergic reaction or offend the interviewer. When in doubt, do not wear cologne.
