First and foremost I would like to say that a sharply dressed man speaks volumes. When I say volumes, I mean that everyone that is around him and comes in contact with him recognizes how well dressed he is. Might I add that when you are clean and spiffy, you also feel different from when you would be dressed casually. When you enter the room you command attention. That is a key factor in the beginning of an interview. After all it is all about you anyway. Interviews are ways people can sell themselves to employers to let them know they are the perfect candidate for the job.
The main key is to find a nice fitting suit with a shirt and tie to match. These are essential to creating the perfect business professional look. Though shoes are important too, the interviewer will be more focused on the upper half of your body. That does not mean you wear sneakers and jeans with you suit and tie. Fit is key to pulling off a great classic professional look as well. When your suit is comfortable and fits to the shape of your body, you are more relaxed. When you are more relaxed, you interpret confidence through your actions.
In certain situations it is the little things that count. There is no need to over over do it. In many cases less is more when it comes to business attire. You do not want to seem plain but, you also do not want to be over the top in you appearance. It is important to find a middle ground. Use small accents of bright colors to show you have personality and style. Never over do it because the last thing you want is your interviewer in a daze from looking at your multi-colored shirt and tie number. Instead of over saturating yourself, try a multicolored hankerchief, or tie but keep your base color (shirt) a plain solid. Blue or white are preferably good for business setings. Black and blue suits are traditional for interviews also. If your the type that loves a grey Banana Republic 3 piece suit, that will do just fine. The key is to not over-do it. Do not step outside of your comfort zone, but you also owe it to yourself to look good and nail that interview. Keep it sharp keep it simple.
Love the tagline of keep it sharp, keep it simple! Absolutely brilliant advice! I also think your mention of the fact that the interview, which is likely to be seated, will leave the interviewer mostly focused on your top half is fantastic advice! While shoes are obviously important, as are great fitting pants, for an interview the most important thing is to have a good looking suit jacket, crisp shirt, and tie that accentuates both the outfit and the wearer! Great post!
