Men’s Interview Dress Checklist:

• Suit: A conservative, two-piece dark grey or a dark blue business suit would be the ideal suit to wear on the day of your job interview.
• Shirt: A white, long-sleeved dress shirt that is neatly pressed and has a good fit is recommendable.
• Tie: Go for a plain colored, non-distracting, conservative dark blue or dark red necktie made of 100% pure silk.
• Tie accessories: A classic silver tie bar ensures that your tie is held in place during the interview. Without one, you often end up adjusting your tie several times during the interview, which will make you look nervous.
• Shoes: Clean and polished conservative dress shoes, black lace-ups if possible, would be your best choice.
• Socks: Dark socks, black if possible, would be ideally suited.
• Belt: The belt should match the color of your shoes, so go with a black one if possible
• Hair: Make sure that you get a well-groomed hairstyle before the interview. Be aware that short always fares best in interviews.
• Beard: A beard needs to be shaved off.
• Mustache: Mustaches are a possible negative, but if you must, then at least make sure it is neat and trimmed.
• Fingernails: Ensure that they are clean and trimmed.
• Rings: Wedding or college rings are generally acceptable but other rings are not.
• Earrings & piercings: Both earrings and visible body piercings should be taken out on the day of the interview.
• Body odor & fresh breath: Make sure that you do not smell badly and chew some gum before the interview, yet never during the interview.
• Perfume & cologne: Keep perfume and cologne to a minimum.
• Briefcase: Take along a briefcase with a notepad and a pen for any notes you may have to take during or after the interview.
