1. Suit:
- A two-piece matched suit is always the best and safest choice.
- Navy and dark gray are safe and most conservative.
2. Ties:
- Avoid fashion extremes like character ties or ties that have too many colors.
- Keep it simple and conservative.
3. Shirts:
- Long-sleeved shirts, even in summer; preferably white or blue shirts.
- Blue, white, or blue and white striped dress shirts are the best basic shirts to build your business wardrobe because they will go with almost any tie.
- Do not wear a short sleeve button down shirt with a tie.
- Dark color dress shirts are to be worn casually and never with your suit.
4. Socks:
- Dark socks, preferably over the calf.
- Socks should match the color of the pants.
5. Shoes:
- Leather black or brown shoes.
6. Belt:
- A black or brown, simple dress belt, to match your shoes.
