-jinx- said:+1 for the brick-colored shirt
-20 for pairing it with a shiny blue tie
Yeah, dressing conservatively is probably the way to go when you're looking for a job. However, white shirt with black tie -- especially with a black suit! -- will make you look like a funeral director or a mobster. I'd recommend a gray suit with a white shirt and a TASTEFUL tie. A light blue shirt is also a nice combination with a gray suit. Another color combo to consider is an olive green suit with a white or off-white (even a light shade of yellow) shirt. I tend to not like navy-colored suits, but your mileage may vary.
heh, thanx for the advice. i do have some other ties that are more subtle, i preffer a single color tie basically, dark silver, grey etc.
