A folio like that would be a great addition to your interview suit. Good luck.

How about this?-http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/womens/handbagswallets/satchelstotes/PRD~358694/Relic+FauxLeather+Tote.jsp#

Faux leather, real - it doesn't matter. We aren't going to "feel" it - it's the look of the item

(and the price at Kohl's is a good price)

What color should the suit be, should we stick to black color?


  #7

pant or skirt? thanks for posting this question. And thank you bbb for the above reply - you're the best

  #8

I think either pants or skirt is fine, but you have to consider the weather. I participated in the recruitment for my graduate school for several years and have seen prospective students in skirts and heels who had to walk several blocks @ 30 degF weather (my school is in NYC). It was quite brutal. sticking out tongue

cherryho, my point exactly. I think I'll wear pants..it'll be mid winter!
and congrats for your interview.

Pants, skirt.... doesn´t matter. It should look neat and professional. Maybe with a little personal touch. My opinion is, that a suit should be in a subtle colour, but why not wear a dark red, dark pink or blue etc. blouse or shirt with it?
BTW, the purses from macy´s and Kohl´s are cutenod

  #11

i hear that black and dark blue r IV colours..corrrect me if i`m wrong...

Pants or skirt - doesn't matter.

Colour? Navy, Aubergine, Dark Red, Brown, Tan or black - although grey is a better colour choice than black. A room full of black suits reminds me of undertakers....

Shoes you can walk in because there will a tour of the hospital.

Just remember that the fit of a suit is also important - an expensive suit is still going to look bad if it doesn't fit perfectly. A tailor can make a mid-price suit look expensive once the fit is adjusted.

where would i find decent inner top to wear inside suit..shirts dont suit me well and i always have a doubt if u r wearing a shirt..do u wear the collar of shirt on top of the blazer??/

any information on this guys!!!!

  #15

What about a shell? Turtleneck or silk t-shirt. Anything that looks professional. It doesn't need to be a collared shirt.

As for a collared shirt in or out of the suitcoat, it's going to depend on the shirt.
