In an interview your attire plays a supporting role to your confidence and interpersonal skills. Appropriate attire supports your image as a person who takes the interview process seriously and understands the nature of the industry in which you are trying to become employed.
Men’s suits are one of the most significant formal basic wear in any men’s wardrobe. Every man should have at least one suit. There will always be times when you need to be formally attired like attending a formal occasion or a job interview where one cannot do without a proper suit.

Suits projects the man’s confidence and power in business as well as stylish masculinity during formal situations. Therefore, selecting the right suit for your wardrobe is very important. There is a choice of either having your suits tailored or getting it off-rack.

Tailored suits are individualized and customized specifically to fit at its best for each man’s different body frame. Business suit is one that is tailored for working professionals rather than trendy. Formal suits are defined as those meant for formal evening wears like tuxedos. So business suits that are suitable would be navy, charcoal, or gray suits. Whether to have stripes or check patterns is up to personal preference. But it is advisable that you go for subtle stripes or check patterns rather than very well-defined patterns that can show an overpowering feel.

Off-rack suits, on the other hand, are readily available and possibly designed with the latest trend in mind. However, it might not be able to fit you as perfectly since it is produced base on the frame of an average man. Mass-produced off-rack suits usually cannot match in quality against individualized tailored suits.

Also here are few points that you must remember when getting ready for an interview:

• Necktie should be silk with a conservative pattern
• Navy, dark gray are safe and most conservative for men
• Dark shoes (black lace-ups are best)
• Dark socks (black is best)
• Get a haircut; short hair always fares best in interviews
• Fresh shave; moustaches are a possible negative, but if you must, make sure it is neat and trimmed
• No beards
• Clothes should be clean, neatly pressed, and fit properly
• No rings other than wedding ring
• No earrings (if you normally wear one, take it out)
• Minimal cologne
• No gum, candy, or cigarettes
• Light briefcase or portfolio case

Though this is just my opinion but you can always improvise it with your own style.
