INTERVIEW DRESS ETIQUETTE - The Look

Business Attire    VS      Smart Casual

Mid to Dark colored suit
Pants: Must match jacket
Solid Navy or Grey are best, you can consider a subtle stripe.
More prominent stripes are appropriate
only for higher level executive positions
Black suits are more formal and austere.
If you do wear black, soften the look with
a blue shirt.
Pleated pants have a more classical look
Flat front pants have a slimming, modern look, but may look awkward on larger
men.
Suit pants and jacket MUST be tailored
from identical fabric.
