Suits • Wear a suit that is a Dark Color (preferably black) • Keep shirt as simple as possible, white cotton shirt is always acceptable • Socks should match the color of your suit and should be long enough to never show skin (even when sitting) • Leather shoes should also coordinate with your suit and should be kept in good condition (shine and polish when necessary)

6. Business Casual • Business casual can sometimes be confusing but keep it simple for yourself • All shirts should always have a collar and sleeves • Khaki’s that are freshly pressed with no holes or rips • Leather black or brown shoes • Stay away from jeans, sneakers, T-shirts, hats, open-toe shoes, shorts

7. General • Simple is always better • Ties- Should be coordinated with shirt and suit coat, kept simple with dull colors, and end at the top of your belt • Jewelry- If you are going to wear a watch or a ring make sure that they match your belt buckle, it is also good if these match the pen you are using.
