What is the best shirt colour and/or tie for a job interview?

Question

I'm invited for a job interview tommorrow (in a law firm, for the position of associate lawyer), could you give me a suggestion what shirt and/or tie is best to wear for tommorrow?

Answer 1

heres your color guide from me :) my dad is in law firm and this is how he dresses for interveiws

1. avoid red, it makes guys look like pimps no matter what. its just a color to avoid if you are a classy guy.

2. baby blue looks ahdorable and nice and clean on men. probably your best choice

3. white is too basic, like you are any other guy

4. Avoid more black or purple. Black is sophisticated to a certain extent. too much is like abusing the color. Black is like the backdrop to any other color you are using. If you wear a splash of black as in pants, you definately dont want a black shirt, or a grey or dark blue shirt. its like, just abusing darkness.

think contrast. as in light-to dark

it looks best

so stick with baby blue, or match with your eye color if it is a nice shade or blue or green. brown, dont even think about matching :)

so i hope you make the job

remember

think in contrast colors. black, then add a light color.

black is always a foundation base. aka the pants. black pants!!!

red- big no no

dark on dark- your def not getting the job.

my fave color matches are...

baby blue and yellow tie (inviting!)

cute colorful tie with a light green shirt

pink top (be daring, real men wear pink) and a blue tie

Answer 2

I definitely think black shoes and black pants a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie will look awesome. For me I think light blue on guys just make them looks so cute and brightens up his smiles lolx:D

I hope this helps alot:D

Answer 3

There are no hard and fast rules, just keep it conservative.  No bright colours on the tie, especially!  Perhaps black or grey pants, white shirt and a tie with some colour or a basic pattern but not too bright.  Good luck :-)

Answer 4

If you want to be fashionable a black shirt, black pants and white tie is the way to go..

If you want to be professional your normal black pants, white shirt and grey or black tie is fine.  

Answer 5

For a shirt, the best color is white, and the best color for a tie is a dark color, such as black, or dark grey or blue.Good luck, remember, a firm handshake, use good body language , keep good eye contact. and answer all questions truthfully.

Answer 6

I think it's yellow

Answer 7

grey pants with a black shirt

Answer 8

My husband is an office manager and he's told me the best colors to wear are the most unnoticeable ones: white button up, neutral tie, black slacks.

It's what I tell anyone who asks me. Also it is job-interview-protocol to NOT wear cologne or at least not a strong one, we relate smells to events and connect them to people. for example, if you interviewer hates someone who wears Hugo and u wear it,  it may b a negative point for you.

It's little things to think about...

Hope I helped =O)
