It really depends on where you're going. If you work at a bank or conservative institution like that, I'd say no. Though if you work somewhere more casual it would be perfectly acceptable. For a job interview its always a good idea to dress slightly more conservative than usual.

Oh and COYS!

Peaked lapel, one-button suit....i'd say that's a definite no-no.

But it would probably have minimal bearing on the outcome of the interview.

Traditionally speaking totally unacceptable. In reality it depends on how conservative you need to look and if the interviewer knows the difference between a wetsuit and a suit (very unlikely).

Just to be sure why not break out the 2/3 buttons in navy, charcoal or mid-grey?

hell nah

smarten up

i wouldn't even wear a black suit to an interview

unless its for a job in arts

[readytoignite]

thanks for the pictures, i was having a real tough time imagining what a one-button suit looks like.

if someone came in for an interview wearing an overly trendy suit, i would be suspicious that they would spend all their time browsing forums like this on the internet instead of being productive (3)

The second pic looks like it might be a two button jacket....either way, it's still inappropriate for an interview imo.

A deep navy, single-breasted, 2-button, two-piece suit with fairly narrow notch lapels in a streamlined and conservative cut is your best bet.

charcoal suit. white shirt. red tie. 2 or 3 buttons. notch lapels. no overly "fashion" stuff.

nobody will not hire you because of a conservative suit.

disregard this if you're working in fashion obviously.

[gfunkdocta]

[homi29]

bluddds throw it up

[travisio]

dick in your nose?

[Cool Story Hansel]

lol red tie

i can't breathe

if u style on ur interviewer hell think ur disrespecting

[tm]

i never understood the notion of a black suit being inappropriate for an interview

[Whodinihimself]

I think it's a way to contrast corporate work wear from formal evening wear (typically a black dinner jacket and black tie) If everybody wore black suits to the office, what would they wear to formal functions?

[islandboi8204]

best interview suit for less than $2000?

[Cool Story Hansel]

suits dont work that way bro

[jgan85]

man just a 2 button in a nice sedate colour with slim lapels if you like..

but agreed that it won't make a huge difference, if at all, to the outcome of the interview.
