is this tie suitable for interview?

[fender06]

i really like this dark purple color and pattern, i have a navy suit and will probably wear a white shirt, so what do u guys think if this tie is good for interview or not??

Can't see the tie colour too clearly as it looks quite dark. Nonetheless, the design certainly looks conservative enough without being boring.

From what I can tell, it looks like a winner!

Good luck with the interview.

Not my taste, but it's not bad for an interview.

some might take issue with wearing a button-down collar with a suit, though.

Depends on your industry.

I say no purple. You are not there to make a statement about what you like. Purple can send an incorrect idea.

I'm surprised by how few realize this fact: tie selection for interviewing is completely contingent upon the industry (and, to a lesser extent, the attitude/atmosphere of the particular company). I'd say the tie is inappropriate for conservative industries, e.g., banking, law, etc.

I was thinking the same thing. Ditch the button-down collared shirt.

I would say so, it is a modest color and pattern which is sure to not be distracting to the interviewer. Given that it matches with the suit you have picked out, that is very important.

I think the tie is okay as it is dark enough. I agree with previous posters who said no on the button down shirt.

why? its pretty standard for most. Infact with the old money people you'd think it impossible to buy a shirt without a button down collar.

I hate the tie though.

I don't see a problem with the shirt collar. I dislike the tie though.

I agree with what others have said. Go with a more conservative tie.

an interviewer probably won't notice/care about a button down collar, but they may take exception to a loud/out-of-place tie.

How can such a dark tie be loud? I personally do not like the pattern, but I don't think it is a loud tie.

It's not just the color that is unusual. The pattern also is. Therefore it is a slight risk for an interview in a conservative industry.

It's fine. Totally fine
