Ok here comes a dumb one, here I go..., I have ligth brown color suit which fits me realy nice vs a black one and a dark blue one which are kind of loose..., I heard with a lot of emphasis to use dark colors for ivs..., would using the brown one hurt my iv?

Thanks guys for tolerating my silly qs...

i dont really think so...coz according to me...the fitting matters more...it shdnt look like u hv borrowed clothes fr the interview(i know u hvnt)...light brown shd do according to me...


  #3

i'd go with the light brown one. fit is more important. a light one will be noticed against the usual crowd and if it looks good, put the interviewers on the side of, "oh i didn't know light suits were interview wear, i must be out of the loop," of course you aren't going for trendy right.

I think light coloured suits are as good and sometimes even look better than dark also. Wat matters is the fitting, how good it looks on an individual and most important you should feel very confident after wearing it, that u are dressed smartly and look nice...

For guys, dressing up should not be an issue. Unless you got a purple suit with a pink tie, all you gotta do is wear ANY type of suit with a shirt and tie......and you're golden.

Good luck.........

Brown shows that you have a personality even though it's still a neutral. Go for the one that makes you feel great!

No. Don't go for powder blue suits. Don't laugh - I've seen it. Wear a suit that fits. Take it to the tailor. Don't wear a black shirt under a black suit. You'll look like a cheap Mafia figure.

And guys!! NEVER wear white socks with a suit. NEVER. If you have to wear sweat socks - buy the black ones. White socks are never appropriate unless you are in sneakers.

what if I want to be like Michael Jackson ? can I still wear white sock with black suit ?

anyway, I bouth a grey suit 2 weeks before my interview, then on the day before interview, went to the mall bough a black suit instead. I think it looks more professional.

As one of my PD-friends said, he does not care about the suit and if tie matches the tone of the shirt but he does care about smell of the breath and shortness of nails...
