Blue is always a safe choice. I would stay away from any sort of stripes like they are the plague.

Some people dont like black, but I think black always looks quite smart and helps you to stand out.

Navy blue or charcoal grey. I usually do solid suit, solid shirt, conservative pattern and color on the tie

Sadistic firm interviewing in person at this point. I agree with navy blue or charcoal. Good luck!

I think that wearing whatever color that makes you as confident of a candidate as possible is the most important thing. For me that’s blue because it stands out of the crowd (from black and grey) but is still relatively conservative.

Dark blue, and everyday black

This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
