What Not to Wear for Males • Graphic ties. Conservative ties with abstract designs or no designs at all work best. Keep it simple. • Jewelry. No studs, earrings, bracelets, or rings with the exception of a wedding ring. Metal watches are also acceptable. • Short sleeved shirts. Don’t do it to yourself.
What to Wear for Males • A dark suit. Black, dark blue, grey, and muted pin-stripes work best. • A light shirt. White, pale blue, or yellow are suggested. • Clean dress shoes. Make sure they’re shined.
Business Casual for Males • Collared shirts, sweaters, and polo shirts are acceptable. A casual sport coat may also be worn. • Khakis, corduroys, and chinos are advised. • Oxfords, loafers, leather shoes, and boots may be worn.
What Not to Wear for Females • Too short skirts. When seated, your skirt should cover your thighs. • Heavy makeup. • Fishnets. Neutral patterned hosiery or bare legs is advised. • Stilettos. Pumps or medium heels are appropriate.
If you aren’t interviewing to be a clown, go easy on the makeup.
