Which, if any, of these ties would be acceptable for an interview?

Depends on the job. All of the ties can be worn to an interview, it just depends on the industry. The safest bets across the board would be the top two listed. The Light blue being the best choice.

#2 or #3. Don't wear paisley unless it's advertising or something. You could also use #1, but I think it's pretty clear that the second one is the best choice.

I definitely think all the top 3 are perfectly good for any interview but I would steer clear of the paisley.

If I had to choose just one, I think I would actually go for the 3rd one down! Good luck with getting the job!

Thanks for the responses!

Just to clarify, the second tie is actually a lavender color with fine white stripes. The camera didn't quite capture it.

Lavender?

Can you make it to a store before the interview?

I mean, I could, but do you really think that is necessary? I guess 2-4 could be questionable for some, but I really don't see how #1 could be offensive to anyone...

You'll likely be fine, but none of these are what I would classify as interview ties.

Perhaps a little more information about what type of interview and the rest of your planned outfit would be warranted.
