 First Impressions, Business Men Dress Tips by Donald
Whitehead
An acceptable dress code guideline for how businessmen should dress during
interviews are that they wear suits in navy blue or dark blue. This is preferred
over gray or charcoal gray. Sometimes brown can be acceptable but not on the
first interview. As a rule generally, the darker the suit, the more authority it
carries. But beware; a man should never wear black to an interview unless he is
applying as an undertaker. A two piece suit is acceptable as is a three button
single breasted jacket. What matters most is that the suit fits well and it is
of good quality. The trousers should fit comfortably at the waist and a slimmer
fit is preferred, a regular cut tailored fit should be the goal. There should
only be a slight break where the trouser hits the shoe. If your ankles are
showing, they are way too short, and like wise if the pants are dragging the
ground in the rear the obviously they are too long and will give a sloppy I
don't care look. It goes to Character and says a lot about a person from the way
they dress and the way a businessman dresses on his first interview can truly go
a long way in either direction.
A man at an interview should always wear a long sleeved shirt either in white,
cream or pale blue. Monograms are not a good decision on the first interview. If
you tend to perspire often, cotton shirts are the way to go. Dress
professionally, use cleaned and starched clothing. The higher the cotton
content, the better the shirt will look. Make sure your shirt fits the neck
properly and that the sleeve cuff ends just at the wrist and don't hang over or
look bunched up. When you dress, all of your interview clothes should be
professionally cleaned and pressed and ready to go.
Ties that are cheap looking do not give off a good first impression. Dress with
A pure silk tie. It will make the most powerful professional impact, has the
best finish and feel, and is easiest to tie well. The tie should complement your
suit, not match it. No outlandish, flamboyant ties are necessary. The length of
the tie should be extended to your trouser belt and never hang over, nor should
you dress with your tie coming only half way to your chest.
Dress in shoes that are either brown or black leather. No other materials or
colors are acceptable. Socks should complement the suit, blue, black, gray, or
brown. A briefcase is a symbol of authority, which makes a strong professional
statement. Brown or burgundy are the colors of choice.
As with women, mens jewelry should be kept to a minimum. No visible body
piercing or tattoos -if you can help it.
This clean cut, well manicured image says a lot about a professional man.
Remember that the way that you dress can and will have a great impact when it
comes to making an impression any time. You should always smell wonderful, have
a nicely trimmed hair cut and appear clean and crisp.
