Man Dressing For Interview

By: Peter Hutch

Man dressing for interview is challenging because that's the day when you wish to make a good impression on the boss. This calls for the need to have the perfect interview clothes for men. Any western men formalwear will not be suitable for the day. You need to match everything and make a good combination of your business suit and tie. What pattern and which color are apt needs to be worked out.

Dressing smarter than you think you probably need to dress is the safest option because as the old saying goes, "You don't get a second chance at a first impression! ". I've turned up to an interview dressed casually before and I have immediately regretted the decision once the interviewer looked me up and down with just a hint of disdain. Apparently jeans, trainers and a t-shirt with the slogan "fancy a fcuk" are not suitable for a job interview!

Be formal (no matter what the regular dress code is at the job). The only exceptions to this are if you are interviewing somewhere that they tell you specifically what to wear for your own safety such as at a factory. For most interviews, a suit is the appropriate attire. A blue suit works the best and it gives you a lot of versatility in terms of shirt and tie choice. Light or dark grey are also good conservative choices. A three button suit will look good on almost anyone, while a 2 button will give a slightly taller/slimmer appearance.

Choose a solid white or blue shirt. You don't want to look too flashy with a brightly colored shirt, and striped and especially patterned shirts are a little less formal. A straight collar is also more formal than a button down. Choose one with a medium spread. If you have a particularly large neck, a wider collar may look better.

Shoe Color and Style: Interviewees should wear black, oxblood or brown leather shoes. Black shoes are strongly recommended as they match almost with any suit, and are easy to coordinate with a belt. Rubber soles are acceptable if they are low profile (that is without noticeable treads). Loafers are forbidden.

Belt: Your belt must always match your shoe color. Large or flashy belt-buckles aren't permissible, but suspenders are, provided that they fit properly. Major taboos - Cheap digital watches (unless the company you're interviewing with manufacturers, imports, or distributes them). When it comes to briefcases, the narrower the better, three-inch imported leather versions are probably the most impressive, and they never go out of style. Avoid clothes made of polyester and other synthetic fibers, they are inferior to natural fibers in a multitude of ways, nor do they "breathe." There are a few exceptions in this category, so if you wear blends, make sure they're of excellent quality.

Black Suit:

Predominant color of necktie should be in red, burgundy, yellow or gold which is generally best with a black suit.Let us direct you at this point to what we think are appropriate: For entry level position try our neckties by Tango

  • Survival Guide for the Rest of 2008 By: Mairona West - It seems like the future that any previous decade has foreseen it is different from the present we are living in now. There’s still no video-phone watches, still no flying cars — but we’re getting there. This is just my little survival guide for the last three months of 2008. 1. Drive less. Know that “rising oil prices” that we kept on hearing years back? Well surprise! It’s here — and boy, are we all feeling its effects. But I do believe that humans are more resilient than that.

  • The Perils of Being Right By: Renita T. Kalhorn - Watching the US presidential debates last week, I marveled at the intense conviction of the candidates -- each shaking his head in utter disbelief at the other’s wrong-headedness – in trying to prove that his world view, his opinions were “right,” and the other’s “wrong.” Of course, that is the nature of politics. But out here in the complex, complicated world of nuance we actually live in, what’s “right” is not so clearly obvious.

  • SeeTheFeelings By: seethefeelings - I created a message that is meant to promote peace and empathy. Losing a loved one is a bad feeling because of the chemicals that are released from your brain. If it were not for the chemicals, there would be no "feeling". Every single thing in this world translates through our brain to us as a feeling. Thats actually one of the main purposes of our brain, it's like a rating system, rating food, music, lovers etc.

  • Rewards Require Work By: Fred Nicklaus - I was talking to a very frustrated employee in one of my Karate schools. He told me that he had spoken to a very irate mother. The subject of the conversation was about her son not being able to test for his next belt. I told my employee to tell me about the conversation. He said that he made a decision to not test the person for their next belt because the young man did not know the material. I asked why he didn't know the material.

  • Stupid Is As Stupid Does By: Fred Nicklaus - I was talking to a friend of mine who is very involved in the running of the local soccer club. The club has made many changes over the past two years much having to do with helping kids realize the value of learning the fundamentals and cross training to improve their soccer performances. He told me that he has met with resistance many steps of the way. He went on to say that he was shocked because he was asked to turn this program into a top program in the state.

  • What Is Transformational Human Development? By: Eleanor Haspel-Portner - Human Development describes the way people grow and change over their life span. Everyone who has a child is familiar with stages of child development. Babies start out helpless only able to cry and eventually move on to crawling, walking and talking. Transformational Human Development recognizes more than the physical, mental, and emotional stages. Transformational Human Development recognizes that development goes on throughout the life span. It includes spiritual development. It recognizes the extraordinary nature of cosmic energies that predispose and pressure you in ways that affect what you think and feel.
