The modern power suit is so much more than basic black.
It's about tying in pops of color with neutrals that help you stand out from the pack without looking harsh for the daytime.
If you ask Clinton and Stacy -- TLC's snarky, yet stylish duo from the makeover show "What not to Wear" -- they'll give it to you straight . A black suit is harsh and overpowering for day and should be reserved for tuxedos at evening galas.
The new neutrals for suits are gray, navy and camel. They can be paired with a more vibrant tailored shirt to go from blah to brilliant. Try lavender and gray, pink and brown, red and camel, light-weight brown tweed and royal blue -- you get the idea.
A great way to stand out from others at an interview (besides killer preparation and presentation) is to look different -- within reason. If everyone else is wearing a white shirt and black suit, you'll make a statement with a more sophisticated color palette.
