Question

Hi I would like to ask what kind of tie I should wear for a white shirt to the interview. Does it has to be a red with gray stripes?Thanks

uprightcitizen · Answer

yes.

Shimshon · Answer

youy should go with the tuxedo

EBM · Answer

Why would there only be two allowable colors for a tie?

kancha · Answer

i think grey with red stripes is the norm ... the stripes should be equally spaced too, else may god have mercy on you.

EBM · Answer

And make damn sure it's red, and not burgundy or maroon.

kraynro · Answer

thats crazy, i've never read anything that says you have to wear a certain color tie, just keep it muted and not flashy or anything and you will be fine as long as you match haha

mstapd · Answer

actually, the tie needs to specifically be in the school's exact colors....if it is one shade off, you will be jeopardizing your interview

kraynro · Answer

haha you guys are scaring the crap out of this person

Shimshon · Answer

what are hbs colors?
and Tuck?

mstapd · Answer

i believe hbs is burgandy and white.

tuck is green and white. i didn't apply to these schools so please don't take my word on the exact shades.

Shimshon · Answer

since we're on the topic, can you guys help me to match my boxers to my suit? i'm having so much trouble trying to find a pattern that perfectly matches my tie so i might just go commando. your thoughts?

brainhurt · Answer

If you go commando, you'll definitely want a winter weight fabric for your suit. You could freeze your nuts off! (depending where your interview is I suppose...)

edit: I moved this to the Off-Topic forum.

you do not even need to wear a tie - totally depends on who and where you have the meeting. but if you are going for business dress, just wear a conservative suit not necessarily certain colors.

southernstunna · Answer

This. You want to show them that THEY should need YOU, and not vice versa. If you wear a suit it will show that you want the job too much. I'd suggest coming in a TAD bit hungover (not too much though) to really show that you don't need the job too much. It's like getting girls, if you care TOO much then they won't even want you at all.

nicboy · Answer

Of Course nobody wants to wear a tie, as someone says you don't even want to wear a suit to show you like the school so much, But is that true, I don't think you want to take the chance of not wearing a suit or tie.

southernstunna · Answer

This. OP I'd consult a color wheel; you don't want to get dinged for something as minor as kelly green vs forest.

uprightcitizen · Answer

Generally, these interviews are supposed to be casual at best. T-shirt is acceptable if it's warm, but, if it's cold, I suggest one of those Russian hats and snow pants. It shows you're adaptable, which is really the point of the interview process.

Also, when in doubt, go with plaid.
