The Behrend College of Penn State Erie, Pennsylvania recommends conservative patterns. Mickey Mouse ties and ties that look like prize rainbow trout are amusing and the interview is not the place for them. They should also fall to the belt, no longer, no shorter. Belts should match your shoes, recommends The Behrend College. The Orient 3 manual adds that belts with smaller buckles with squared lines are more professional- looking.
Black socks are the best.
You may also opt for blue or gray, depending on your attire. The Behrend College suggests black or burgundy leather shoes with laces on them, because tassel loafers are very casual. Other suitable colors are brown, cordovan and navy. In addition, shoes should always be clean, well-shined and in good condition, states the Orient 3 manual. And please remember, says Hodowanes, that alligator shoes are major taboos.
