<p>HandM can get you great suits for 75 bucks… both pieces, and they are decent quality</p>

<p>This is great advice. Suits in dark, muted colors, such as black, gray, brown, or navy (with or without pinstripes), are somehow more businesslike than identically cut suits in bright colors. They are also less memorable, which is handy if you have to come back for a second interview. You just wear a different-colored blouse, and nobody is likely to remember that you wore the same unremarkable gray suit for both interviews.</p>
<p>I don’t think a bright-colored blouse or sweater under the suit is inappropriate, though. When it comes to the blouse, the important thing is that it should not look in any way sexy. No low necklines. No tight sweaters. The color is not particularly relevant in most settings.</p>
<p>Yeah, bright accessories, shirts,e tc are good. My D wears lots of yellow and light blues with her greys and browns. She looks fresh, individual, but not super trendy or letting her clothes speak for her. She ALWAYS has a scarf of some description, depending on the weather.</p>
<p>If she could find a nice brown suit, I think that would be more attractive on her because of her blonde hair and fair skin. I thought she really needed to wear black. I guess not?</p>
<p>black isn’t necesary, brown pinstripe works well, and even grey on a blond (my younger D is blond and looks great in grey)</p>
<p>A pantsuit would be a better option than a skirt for an engineering interview, IMO. The Limited sells sizes 0 and 00, and Express shirts are very stylish.</p>
