I know that this outfit today seems a little uninspired but I was preparing all day for a phone interview.  I promise that I'll step it up tomorrow.

With that being said, I was asked to come in for an in-person interview tomorrow.

Big interview tomorrow:

A big question that many people have is "What should I wear to an interview?"   For Men the answer is easy; a classically cut suit in either navy blue or grey with a white spread collar dress shirt  and a simple tie in a reddish hue (I am planning on wearing burgundy).  Do not wear an overly large or overly tight suit.  This is a time to make a statement but just not with your clothes so make sure to wear a suit and stay away from loud or controversial patters. As you can imagine, I had a hard time deciding on what to wear.

As always if you wear a blue suit, wear brown leather round toe oxfords. If you wear a grey suit you can wear either brown or black shoes. If you go for brown shoes, which I think that you should at least consider because it actually looks quite good, wear light brown with light grey and darker brown with charcoal grey.  Or you can wear maroon/ox blood oxfords with either suit, this really separates the men from the boys.   DO NOT wear loafers, shoes with pointy or square toes or any shoes without a leather sole.

While dressing correctly will not guarantee that you get the job it will definitely help you make a good first impression.
