Job interview tomorrow--clothes

With a black suit I would think a little pop of color would be nice. With a jacket on you don't see a lot of the top anyway, right? I picture that outfit as professional but confident with a bit of a spark. Good luck!

I bought a black skirt business suit to wear for my interview tomorrow. I also bought 2 shirts to wear with it. I have been reading about recommended colors to wear and now I'm not sure about my choices. I choose deep purple and bright orange shirts to go with my black suit. They looked really good. I have several interviews this coming week so I bought 2 shirts so I'm not wearing the same thing every day. Would you or would you not wear the bright orange shirt?

It's generally thought that subdued colors are better for Job interviews however if you coloring is complemented by the blouse and iit is a conservative professional cul by all means wear it.

I agree.

I would go for the purple shirt; depending on how bright the orange shirt it may or my not be beneficial; it's hard to say because one doesn't know how a potential employer will take a bright shirt-it may make you stand out from the rest!

Bright colors are happy colors! I say go for it.

Good luck with your interviews!

Purple is seen by some as more calm. Orange can be seen as nervous and even angry. I'd pick purple.
