I got into an argument with a pompous friend who used to work for a fortune 100 corporation (not in HR though). He stated that a man should not wear a black shirt with his suit and tie to an interview because the male applicant will come across as a gangster or a Mafia member.
Furthermore, he said if their shoes are somewhat worn out then it means they will wear down and ruin the company and therefore will never get hired. Any thoughts, views, or help with this would be great.
You know what, I'm a big fan of improvisation. Everyone tries white and blue shirts. If you are confident enough, you can pull a black shirt and clear the interview. You can even go to the interview naked and land the job. Just don't breathe too much into the telephone. Put it on mute if you are peeing or dropping nuggets. People may misinterpret that bluck bluck sound

The only person who could get a job wearing a black shirt to an interview is Johnny Cash.

Remember the bio-pic on him, when they were in the record sales office trying to negotiate a deal and the guy said, "Look at you, you look like you're going to a funeral" and all Cash said all cocky was, "Maybe I am."

You guys wear suits and shine your shoes for job interviews!? That's interesting!
I just wear blue jeans, my regular (comfy) sneakers, a tee shirt and maybe a light jacket. Also I generally have scruff going on and my hair is curly and possibly shaggy.
But I don't work in business, and I'm in scrubs all the time at work.
Some of us can pull it off a black shirt in a corporate environment and still look good.
I'm wearing one today actually.
I used to think like this 5 years ago. But as I'm moving up, I've completely thrown out all darker shirts. It looks odd.
I have a very favourite dark coffee coloured shirt. I've been told it looks good on me, but I haven't worn it in ages now. It's difficult to pull it off any longer.
