BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL FOR WOMEN • Matching suit jacket and knee length (or longer) skirt or pants • Conservative colors, (i.e. navy, black, gray) • Long sleeve or short sleeve blouses • Dress shoes or dress boots with long skirts or pants only
Business Professional - Men • Invest in your Suit; SPEND SOME MONEY • Quality is cheap in the long run • Get it tailored, make sure it fits (sleeves not too long, pants not too high or too long) • Nothing Flashy (Try Dark Navy or Charcoal) • Don’t try to send a fashion statement • 2 or 3 buttons (always leave bottom button unbuttoned)
BUSINESS ATTIRE FOR WOMEN • Business knee-length dresses with suit jacket • Suit jacket and pressed pants (do not have to be of the same set) • Blouses • Third piece • Dress shoes or dress boots with long skirts or pants only
Business Attire for Men • A mix between business casual and business professional • Wear slacks and a blazer/sport coat • Nice collared shirt underneath but no tie is required • Dress Shoes

Business Casual for Men • Wide range of business casual for men • Casual End: Pressed khakis and a polo-style shirt • Nice End: Dress slacks and a long sleeve button down • Shirts must have a collar • Cannot wear athletic shoes or socks
INTERVIEW ATTIRE FOR WOMEN • Suits: • Color: Navy, gray, cobalt blue, and black • Length of skirt: below the knee • Blouse: • Best fabrics: Silk, cotton, or rayon • Color: Neutral nothing overwhelming • Modest cut • Shoes: • Match your suit, no contrasting tones • Color: Black or navy • Style: Closed toe pump with small heel (no more than 2 inches) • Accessories • Neutral hose • Belt and purse match shoes • Jewelry: subtle do not want to draw attention to any one thing
“Casual” Casual for Guys and Gals • Doesn’t mean that you can show up wearing anything you want • Remember that you are still portraying an image of yourself • Don’t try out the newest fashion trends • Don’t overdress
Shoes & Ties & Belts • The color of your belt & shoes must match • I suggest shoes with laces • Shoes can make or break the suit, buy some high quality shoes that shine • Polish your shoes • Socks need to be long enough to cover your leg when your legs are crossed • Belts can be of medium quality as long as they look good • A cheap tie can ruin a suit • Make sure your tie is conservative, no crazy designs or logos of your favorite cartoon characters
