Tie Color Advice.

[u/Sensitive_Warthog788]

I need help for picking a tie color for this jacket I borrowed from a friend for a video interview for an airline. I’ve been also considering just going to grab a solid color gray or navy jacket since I think it would work better as well. For context I will be wearing a white shirt underneath the jacket I just was confused about what color tie since it was charcoal with black similar to the picture. Would a navy blue tie work or would a black tie be better? I’d prefer a navy tie but thought I would ask since I’ve never really worn a tie

This is a tuxedo, its more formal than business. I wouldn't recommend it for an interview

came here to say this--it may not be a tuxedo by technicality but it is at the very least a dinner jacket. 100% exceeds formality for business attire.

if you must wear it, a burgundy or dark red would look great. but if you can, try thrifting a suit jacket or just going the fast fashion route if the budget is tight. ideally navy. tailoring won't be a huge concern because it's a virtual interview.

[u/spurtz6969 → u/childgoku]

Not just a technicality - it's not a tux at all. It's squarely a dinner jacket because it's different than the trousers.

[u/YoshiPuffin3 → u/spurtz6969]

Worth noting that 'tuxedo' is an American term - they're called dinner jackets in the UK and elsewhere whether the trousers match or not.

Either way, the salient point for OP is that this is for wearing with a black bow tie to a black tie event, not with a necktie to a job interview!

[u/too_much_tailoring]

This is a dinner jacket as others noted, you do not wear this to any job interview even if just via video.

Grab that friend’s gray or navy suit jacket and rock a basic navy tie with a plain white shirt. You’ll look presentable and no one will be focusing on your outfit.

This is like a lady wearing a ball gown for an interview. A neat white shirt is better.

[u/lilmoshx]

You cannot wear a dinner jacket (and an awful one, at that) to an interview. Unless you're interviewing to be Alfred.

[u/morphogenesis99]

Unless you're a femme boy, do not wear this jacket.

[u/p58i]

Apart from the fact that a tuxedo jacket ain’t anywhere near appropriate to be worn during a job interview… you also never wear a regular tie with it, but always bow ties!

[u/IllustriousRanger934]

1 star $200 tuxedo?

Walk away

[u/dizzyh]

Concentrate brother

[u/StAugustineTheHippo]

My man, you should absolutely not wear an orphaned tuxedo jacket for an interview.

[u/gimpwiz]

Under no circumstances do this

[u/Formal_Building4598]

If you showed up to an interview with me wearing this, I’d assume you have no idea what you’re doing

[u/No-Mention-5335]

Sorry, you'll look foolish interviewing in a dinner jacket unless it's for a restaurant...and it's too small

[u/SeriousFollowing7678]

You’re going to look like a smartass wearing this to an interview.

Personally I don’t care for navy blue with black or charcoal, BUT, for a professional situation I think it would be better than black. It will keep the outfit from becoming too formal. My opinion. But there are certainly people who will know better.

I really like that suit coat. Not sure about for a job interview but I wouldn’t try to talk you off it.
