You may think it's cute, but your interviewer will not. They are looking to hire a grown-up and showing your individuality during an interview via novelty ties will not land you the position.
Some people say that you do not want to wear a patterned tie during an interview in order to keep things as simple as possible. This is not necessarily the case, and it really all depends on the pattern to be worn. Generally a small pattern is preferable to a larger pattern as a small pattern will blend more evenly into a continuous color tone. Just remember, keep it tasteful and you'll be fine.
In terms of color choice stick to safe colors and keep the bold colors in your closet for after you get the job.
Stick to muted complementary colors that match your dark suit or dark jewel tones if you are younger and feel that you can pull off the look. Burgundy Ties and Dark Blue Ties are best. Choose your accessories wisely. This is not the time or place to go overboard with the accessorizing. Do not, however, go overboard such as wearing a silk handkerchief in your pocket. Leave this look until you are the boss.
Finally make sure to bring a nice leather note-pad, filled with some clean paper, and a working pen. Choose a simple and elegant pen and stay away from pens covered in advertising. Bringing the famous 4 inch IKEA pencil is out of place. There is very little to say about what type of shoes to wear; just that they should be dressy and clean.
Ensure your nails are neatly cut and brushed , so they don't look like you have been plumbing or repairing trucks before walking through the door. Poor nail care gets the wrong kind of attention and loudly speaks for a person's overall untidiness. A solid scent that isn't the same low-cost gas station fragrance from high school is your best bet when interviewing for a big job. You'll want to know the scent that best suits you and how to apply it.
When deciding how to dress for an interview, the suit is the first thing the interviewer will notice when you walk through the door. Therefore, you want to make sure it sends the right message without being too flashy and distracting from you.

Blends keep the price down, but they have more cons than pros — they breathe and wear faster and, in most cases, have less versatility or proper fit. The most appropriate colors for a job interview and any other highly formal occasion would be navy blue and charcoal. As for the fabric pattern, the best idea is to have a suit of a solid color or with narrow stripes, which will make it reasonably subtle and not too distracting.
While a classic white broadcloth shirt can match almost any suit-tie combination, it is perfect for toning down a bright striped suit. In general, you may want to choose a unique fabric weave twill or herringbone in a soft color to spice up and individualize your look, but you shouldn't stray too far from the basic colors.
You should choose a shirt with a collar according to your face's shape to frame it. If your face is thin and long, choose a spread collar. The best bet would be a classic point collar for those whose face is round or have a wide-body type. Some interviewers can regard cufflinks as obnoxious, so it is better to avoid wearing them unless you do that all the time and have no shirt with buttons.
Sleeves and cuffs should go right to the top of your hands, with one inch of shirt cuff showing from under your jacket sleeve. If you consider yourself experienced in tie selection and have a good taste for tie colors, you can try different colors or ties with patterns.
However, it is essential to remember that a tie must complement the entire outfit , and the pattern and quality matter. Ties with simple repeating patterns can be good for a job interview as long as those patterns are as simple as possible.
For example, striped ties in certain countries England, for example may traditionally represent an association with a particular club a military club, boys club, school, etc. Thus, you should make sure that you will not be putting yourself into an awkward situation on a job interview by wearing such a tie.
Although ties made of natural silk can be more expensive, I recommend wearing one of those to a job interview. You want to exude confidence and show that you are able to deal with partners or clients in a way that maintains the company image. The colors that you choose for your outfit make a difference in how the employer perceives you.
There is a psychological element as certain colors look more appealing than others. Think about how the color of your tie may look as you try to coordinate it with your dress shirt. For example, neutral colors like navy blue can never go wrong.
A lot of work goes into preparing for an interview. You also need to prepare for both predictable and unexpected interview questions. The advantage of wearing a tie to a job interview is that you can ditch the jacket. The tie itself is a symbol of professionalism, and you can avoid wearing heavier clothes during the summer time. Ties come in different shapes, colors and patterns. Here is a list of characteristics that you need to consider before choosing the appropriate tie for you.
You have many shapes to choose from depending on your body type and the outfit choice. Wear a longer tie if you consider yourself tall and have a heavier build.
It matches your stature and will be more noticeable than if you wear a shorter tie. A shorter tie is suitable if you are smaller in size and on the thinner side.
Your outfit needs to be balanced, so a longer tie will do more harm than good as it will take over your outfit. Generally, skinny ties look more stylish and professional, but it never hurts to try on different sizes to see which one is the best fit for you. There are a ton of colors to choose from when you go tie shopping, to the point where it can be overwhelming.
Consider the following options to choose an appropriate color for your outfit, skin complexion, and of course, for the perfect interview.
A navy blue tie is the most common and elegant choice that never goes wrong. A blue tie is soft on the eyes and elicits a feeling of trustworthiness and sincerity. Brown is another common color. On the one hand, it looks plain. On the other hand, it gives the impression of reliablility and trustworthiness. A burgundy red tie looks much less arrogant than a crimson red tie. If you want to stand out with confidence, then a burgundy red is the right choice for you. To complete the look, pair it with a black, grey or a navy blue suit for the red to pop without seeming overbearing.
Pair your yellow tie with a grey or navy blue suit to tone it down, yet make an appearance. Earthy tones like beige, sand colors are great at just blending in with the rest of your outfit; they help your tie add a touch of sophistication without being a distraction.
Patterns look good especially if you want to get more creative, but be careful to not be distracting. Avoid thin stripes. They look unprofessional and take the attention away from you.
