Interview - Tie & Shirt

Don't wear red as red is a very loud color. You can't go wrong with a white shirt and blue tie. Don't be boring though and wear a solid suit, solid white/blue shirt, and a solid blue tie. Then you'd just look weird. Maybe try to get a white shirt with very subtle stripes and/or a tie with some sort of pattern.

Don't wear red. It's a power color, very vibrant. If you want something in that family that isn't too ostentatious, go for a patterned burgundy and wear it over a white shirt. The pattern shouldn't be too busy, but it will liven up the uniformity of the shirt. Is your suit plain or pinstriped?

To be honest, go with whatever makes you feel most confident. In the end that will help you.

plain suit, I only have red ties, should I buy something of a darker-blue variety tomorrow?

Can't hurt no such thing as too many ties.

I don't think a dark red would be a problem. It's very subtle and looks good when offsetting a navy suit.

I have one that is brick red with beige/"bone" vertical lines, less flashy version of red but doesnt look as clean since the shirt has gridlines, going to buy a plain white shirt today.

White shirt no questions asked. Blue tie safe but toned down red ok

The whole white shirt only for an interview thing is ridiculous. I wore a nearly flat black (nearly invisible pins) suit with an oxford blue Brooks Extra Slim fit shirt and a simple blue tie to every interview and got offers. As long as it's conservative, not too loud, and helps you be confident, you're fine.

I would avoid a solid tie. Get a simple pattern and any blue tie will look good.

How is blue "wild?" When one of the recurring jokes of finance is how many different shades of oxford blue bankers manage to come up, when more than half the people interviewing you are wearing it, and when it's the image of the stereotypical banker, how is that wild?

Wear whatever you feel most confident in. Your attitude will matter infinitely more than your clothes.

Blue is not wild but I think black is. Just realized I misread u wore a black suit. My bad

Blue shirt is fine IMO
