I saw an elderly gentleman wearing a dark blue velvet suit today while walking into my building. Small confession: I took a snapchat.

This thread should be about 10 posts long. Someone PM'd me once asking what he should wear. I responded. "A suit." That's legit all you need to know. You already know the rest.

do yall put on cologne?

Even the most awesome cologne ever made in the history of the entire world only works every time 60% of the time. The risk of getting an interviewer who hates the smell of your man-musk is just too high in my opinion.

Make sure you don't smell bad (obviously), but leave the Sex Panther at home.

Hi everybody. I am having a hard time deciding between two navy blue ties. Should I wear a striped (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NVYDJO/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) or polka dots (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NTLM52/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I heard polka dots are a little "clowny" and I got some good compliments already on the striped tie (haven't worn the polka dots yet). Anybody have any input?

I like the polka dots more, but that's just me. From the picture it looked like the dots are small, so it shouldn't be "clowny"

Either works, but I prefer the closer weave of the fabric on the dot tie personally. As long as you keep the dots small (the one you linked to is great), it's totally appropriate. I wore something really similar on residency interviews.

It might just be the picture, but I really hate the first (striped) one. I dislike the pattern and the fact that it looks annoyingly shiny.

I don't think the 'polka dot' one looks bad.

I recently bought an unlined navy genadine tie and really love it. It is solid and navy so it pretty much goes with anything, but the texture of the weave is really cool and adds a nice dimension it. I posted a picture of the tie earlier in this thread.

What do you think of this (I like it more than striped one you had):

The stripe is very elegant and a much nicer fabric. Plus the lighter blue gives it more contrast and 'punch' than the darker navy. The red & navy stripe above is nice too

Thank you for your response. That's a nice looking tie but I like blue more than red.

The picture of the striped tie may be misleading - it is not that shiny in real life, but it does have a slight glisten to it.

I also prefer the dot pattern although both of the ties you posted are good choices. Personal preference
 
I am thinking of switching from frame-less glasses to these Begley's from Warby Parker. I know some of you might think it too nerdy or retro, but I am really in love with these. My main concern: Are these too "out there" for med school? I know some older physicians are a bit conservative and I don't want to leave a bad first impression. Am I overthinking this? This is really for med school, not interviews, but I don't want to make a new thread.

One of my interviewers (an ophthalmologist) wore a pair that looked just like these. He had patients scheduled right after our interview, so I'm assuming he wears them in the hospital. I think you'll be fine!

There are a lot of people with these floating around. Can't say they're my favorite, but nobody will blink an eye.
 
Is a linen suit too flashy/informal?

I generally think of linen suits as fine for temps over 80 or between Memorial Day and Labor Day. (OK outside of those dates if the temp is over 80) Most interviews take place between Labor Day and the end of February so the window for linen suits will be limited to the Deep South in the early autumn.

Anyone ever wear nice boots to an interview instead of dress shoes? My boots are way nicer than any dress shoes I own but I wasn't sure how it would look to interviewers.

dress boots!

Thats what I rocked, solid blacks with a shine. Almost went with two tone red and black shoes, but against my better judgement I stuck with the boots. Pending my acceptance we shall see if I made the right decision
 
I cannot believe how many men I see wear red ties in an interview. Literally every interview I went to, I saw at least one man wearing a red tie.

Geez....I am offended for the adcom.

Right on. I'm thinking about the solid blacks as well. I don't see anything wrong with it especially in Texas.

You cannot see how high those boots are with your slacks covering them.
