I realize that there have been tons of threads over the past 10 years about what to wear for your ERAS photo, but there is also a ton of conflicting advice.
I need some help for my photo coming up in about 2 weeks and wanted recommendations as to appropriate suit color, shirt color, and tie color. I am not fashion savvy at all and would not be someone who could pull off anything remotely edgy. I'm looking for something conservative and professional. I don't want to stand out, I just want to look good in the picture and not rub anyone the wrong way with the wrong color/pattern/combo. Any color combo suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.
Also would love input on these three questions specifically:
1. Is a black suit okay for the photo? Or do I have to do a different color? I saw several posts saying that black is a big no-no for interviews, wasn't sure about photos.
2. Is a white shirt okay? Is a white shirt vs colored shirt better? I saw several posts saying white is bad as it reflects up on your face. Is this true?
3. Best colors for ties? And checkered vs solid? Pros and cons of Red vs Blue vs Grey? Any other recommendations?
I'm feeling incredibly lost and the more I read the more indecisive I get. Also if you have any good sample outfit pictures, please link or post them. Thanks!
