Is it acceptable to wear a tie and dress shirt only to a interview, without the jacket????

Question

Or would it be better to wear the whole outfit?

Answer 1

It depends on what the job is. If it's someplace casual, where people either wear uniforms or jeans to work, then it's probably okay. But if it's a more formal workplace where their dress code is business casual or business formal (you know, where guys wear suits every day) you've definitely gotta wear a jacket. If in doubt bring it, you can always take it off if necessary. It's better to be overdressed rather than underdressed.

Answer 2

Depends, if you going for a job at walmart probably not but at a law firm the whole outfit is needed. Generally shirt and tie is enough, though a jacket would give a better impression. Oh and pants wouldn't hurt either.

Answer 3

I dont know. You might want to wear pants with that.
Seriously, it really depends what kind of job you are going for. My job im at now, i showed up for the interview wearing a new pair of jeans, a nice clean sweater and some hiking shoes. Got the job. Of course that wouldnt work everywhere.

Answer 4

It depends on the job you are applying for. If it is any type of business/office/sales job, I would go for the jacket. If it is your first job at McDonalds, just a shirt and tie will do.

Answer 5

Since it's business casual, I'd skip the tie and wear nice pants and a crisp shirt. The tie takes it up a notch from "business casual" to "business".

Answer 6

You can't go wrong by having a jacket. I'd suggest, if you already have one, wear one.

Answer 7

whole outfit cuz its a interview not a rock concert

Answer 8

If its summer and hot yes otherwise wear all the gear.

Answer 9

rather be safe than sorry
just wear it if your meeting some big head of the company or something :)

Answer 10

it would look more professional with the whole outfit
