Grooming for Interview - Proper Attire for Men

For most interviews, men should wear a suit and tie. The most common interview suit colors are navy blue, gray or a subtle pinstripe. Brown suits are also acceptable, although black suits are often too formal and dressy. Leather lace-up or slip-on shoes with socks that coordinate with the color of the suit are a must -- no gym shoes or white athletic socks. The tie should be silk, either solid color or a subtle pattern; no knit ties. Belt and shoes should match or closely coordinate. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum, although a class ring or wedding ring and a watch are fine.
