Job Interview Questions: What color pants would you wear a black top with for a job interview?

I feel like black and gray is still too dark, and other neutrals like brown and white would look weird. Why do they even make black dress shirts or am I over thinking this?

PS. The black top I have, has very small white polka-dots. They're quite small - it's not a loud print or anything. Do you think that flair of white is enough contrast to wear the black top with black pants?

High Paying Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
Khaki dress pants? Do you have a pair of *light* gray pants?

Black dress shirts tend to look good with dark wash jeans, but jeans are too casual for an interview. Brown or white pants would look weird.

I think black pants would be too much black, even with the white polka dogs.

Do you have another dress shirt? LOL

Our Six-Step Guide to a Successful Job Interview


  • my ideas:
    -Pin stripe black pants with a black/ white/ grey top
    -for what you want i would go with black pants ( job interview=formal duh! haha) but instead of your top, put some color in it! go with a blue or purple ( winter season) but if you want to go neutral go with a grey or cream plain sweater. & always add an accent of jewelry! long necklace, big ring, etc!
    hope your interview goes well! (:

  • oh it sounds like a cute shirt, I personally think that a black pant with white pinstripes would be the best option

    -hope this helps<3
    good luck with the interview, stay calm you'll do fiine

  • i think that the small white accent on the shirt is enough white in the outfit to be able to wear it with black pants.
    gray pants would look pretty too.
    or even white pants (despite what they say white is ok to wear after labor day!)

  • Well it depends on what kind of job interview it is. If its for an office job in a large building then either white top w/ black pants or black top w/ white pants (plain black is better but its your choice)

  • I think black pants would look good. You could also accessorize with a silver bracelet or necklace to break up the black.

  • you should wear khaki pants or a skirt. like the tan khaki not the color thats almost white would look good..
    or dark jeans even..
    with high heels(:
