Business Suit
One of the most important pieces of any business wardrobe, a suit says a lot about the person that’s wearing it. When shopping for a suit, make sure to choose one that’s neutral in color. A gray, blue or black suit will work just fine. Don’t even look at the orange, green and white ones hanging on the rack.
Shirt
Like your chosen suit, a shirt should not stand out too much. A light blue, gray, green or white shirt should do just fine. Make sure you iron it before you put it on because you may not be taken seriously at your new job if it’s obvious that you can’t take care of the clothes you wear.
The Tie
Because the tie will stand out from the rest of your outfit, it is the most important part of your appropriate business attire wardrobe. Wear one that matches your shirt but isn’t the same color. Obnoxious designs and bright colors should generally be avoided when purchasing a tie.
