What is a formal suit – 1,2,3 or 4 button coat for an interview. I only have a 4 button right now?
meetarnav asked:
I want to know what is the best pattern for a formal or business suit that one might wear for an interview (for men). How many buttons should be on the coat? How many should be buttoned up? Is a three piece ok? What is the correct formal dress etiquette for say, an MBA interview? or maybe a Job?

Hi, i think for a job interview a 3 button would be fine and i would recomend you do all of them up or just dont do any up at all, if your going to buy one just buy one with a style you think is good, hope this helps. Ross H
a 3 button suit is more popular I think – a 4 button tends to begin to fasten at a higher point on your chest and in my oppinion doesn’t allow as much of the shirt and tie to be displayed. A three piece is perfect – it adds a little more elegance and even when removing the jacket you can still look well attired. A classic french cuff shirt will complete the outfit with a tie and cufflinks set to match.
Good luck with the interview process – an interview is an interview no matter whether for a job or a college place – you should always dress-up for an interview. beauthai25
to my knowledge in most companies, you will not be judged if the suit is one style or another. a dark suit is best. a suit that is decent quality and fits well / does not necessarily have to be a really high end designer expensive one. i don’t think that anyone is going to count the buttons. they will be interested in if it’s clean / pressed and you look pulled together wear decent shoes(clean and shined) and and carry a decent case. more than what you wear is how you interview / personality . the whole staff will be assessing you / rank and rating you (many will make decisions by first impression). smile brightly (at all of the staff you meet and have visual contact with. work on your resume and reviewing the tough questions / studying the information about your potential companies history / qoutes from your interviewer / know the industry . be sharp and studied. friendly and professional. good luck.
