Because it shows you recognize this as an important occasion
Because it shows respect for your interviewer
Because it shows you can adapt to company expectations

Mentioning the unmentionables
Panties, no thongs—thong lines are distracting
Appropriately colored underwear--so it doesn’t show thru
Always wear hose with a skirt— Color? Plain-style, non-patterned in a neutral
color. Take an extra pair “in case”.
![Page 25: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Shoes and accessories
Wear low heeled pumps in a neutral color that matches your accessories
Be sure they are clean and polished Avoid open toed shoes If you wear a belt or carry a purse or
briefcase (one, not both) be sure they are the same color, polished and conservative

A little more risky for some situations
![Page 29: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

What to wear for men
Suit Fit
Shirt Accessories, socks, shoes
![Page 33: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Suit—Objective
Conservative—Two-piece two- buttoned, vented, single breasted business suit, 100% Worsted Wool, fully lined coat, half lined trousers in navy blue or charcoal gray (pinstripe, muted plaid, solid or herringbone)
![Page 34: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Suit—Objective
Semi-Conservative—Same as conservative plus three or four button suit in navy, charcoal, earth tones or possibly even black. Additional options are textured fabrics in lighter to medium tones, as well as non-vented jackets. The more creative your work environment the more creative you clothing options.
![Page 35: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Jacket Fit
Jacket should lie smoothly over your shoulders and across your back
Shoulders cut too wide diminish the head. Shoulders cut too narrow make the head appear larger than it is. The jacket's shoulders frame the head--A balanced presentation.
Collar should follow neck silhouette closely—no gaping Jacket length should cover your entire seat and should be half the
distance from the collar seam to the floor. Jacket hem should line up with the thumb knuckle.
Sleeves should cover the break of the wrist, allowing ¼ to ½ inch of shirt cuff to show
![Page 36: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Hollywood knows about sleeves length
You should too.
![Page 37: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Trouser fit
The waist of your trousers should be just at or slightly below your navel and should fit snugly without feeling tight. This puts the crotch of the pants at the crotch of the wearer, which allows for movement without stressing the pants.
Trousers should fit smoothly across the top of the buttocks, then follow the curve about halfway down, then fall straight down. When pants follow the curve all the way down, we call them jeans!
Hems may be either straight or cuffed—if cuffed, make sure they are proportional to the wearers height.
![Page 38: Dress To Meet The Firms](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54c612f94a795988598b458a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Shirt
White is best. When in doubt wear white. 100 percent cotton is preferred Point, button tab, or spread collars best
Point collar for fuller faces Spread collar for narrower faces
Collar should show ½ inch above jacket collar at nape of neck
Cuff should show ¼ to ½ inch below sleeve. Sleeve must have enough length for the arm to bend without pulling on the cuff. Cuff must fit snugly so additional sleeve length will not fall over the hand.
Very clean and well pressed Shirt should fit well and have an index finger of breathing
room at the collar.

Accessories
Ties Conservative pattern in silk or silk like fabric Must coordinate with suit, but contrast with shirt
Shoes Lace-up, wing tip, cap toe or split toe styles Clean and polished in very good condition No tassels, loafers or cowboy boots
Socks Should match your pants Wear over the calf socks that won’t slide down
Belt, briefcase Leather matches leather—shoes, belt, briefcase Metal matches metal—belt buckle, watch metal, etc.

Wear a tee shirt under your shirt Make sure your nails are well
manicured and hands not rough Moisturize your face No beards or mustaches Line it up

Unbutton your suit coat when sitting Never button just the bottom button of a suit coat

Presentation
Use a full length mirror Repeat what is good or compliments Do not repeat what is not good or
minimizes Proportionalize your patterns Beware of texture Ladies—use proportion to your
advantage
