Well basically I have a job interview and I want to look smart so I'm going to wear: White shirt Black trousers Black shoes Black tie? Would It be okay to wear a black tie with this as I believe it looks smart and goes well however I've been told I can only wear a Black tie to funerals, opinions?Well basically I have a job interview and I want to look smart so I'm going to wear: White shirt Black trousers Black shoes Black tie?

Yes, of course. You will look smart, if a bit funereal! Why not introduce a bit of colour - if you haven't got a coloured tie, then perhaps a plain coloured handkerchief peeping out of a breast pocket? Or perhaps a tie pin - gold or silver coloured? Black ties are not just for funerals, but neither are coloured ties inappropriate for job interviews.
