What should we wear to a business interview?

"The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview."
-Alison Doyle, About.com

Like this quote says, what we wear to our interviews is extremely important. What we wear is what our possible, future employer will remember us by.

For a business interview, men should wear:
  • A solid, dark colored suite with a white (or a coordinating colored) long-sleeve shirt.
  • Conservative tie and belt
  • Dark socks and shoes
  • Neat hair-cut and trimmed nails
  • Limit after shave

For a business interview, women should wear:
  • A solid, dark, modest suite with a coordinating colored blouse
  • Neutral colored nylons and conservative shoes that you can walk comfortably in
  • Limited jewelry (no dangling earings), make-up and perfume
  • Professional hairstyle and clean nails
