Actually, this is a fortune 500 company. he knows how to dress---its just that I read the traditional business attire is now considered passe, instead wear "casual", but go with your gut! Johnston Murphy shoes, a new belt, updated tie, etc.
I've never heard anything about NOT wearing a suit to a manager position for a fortune 500 company. Probably being spread by people who don't go on interviews or work for a fortune 500 company.
Its for a major corp--managerial position. Thee usual business attire is a standard suit, tie, shirt, etc, but I've been reading that's passee. I've read such an outfit will date you, and dh is in the older range.
Perhaps docker, chinos, dress shirt, sports jacket? He doesn't want to be the only one looking out of place? what is the standard business interview getup nowadays?
I would say that a more modern shirt (slimmer fit if he is a slimmer person) and a fashionable tie would be appropriate. I tend to prefer a dark grey suit with a blue or red tie (I noticed that GW Bush and Obama wear those colors as do many successful politicians on TV).

I like this!
He needs a new suit, anyways! His last "power suit' was custom made, cost about $1000, but got him the job!
1. "Spy" on the people who work at that company. Sit in the parking lot in your car early in the morning and see what people are wearing going to work.
2. Read a book like Dress for Success. Learn about color psychology.
3. I've worked with the public most of my life and for many years would show up at businesses with a tie, but no jacket. I read dress for success and experimented a bit with different colors. I got the best responses from receptionists when I was wearing light grey slacks, a white shirt, and a dark maroon tie. Like this... http://www.mycollectors.co.uk/StockP...Maroon-lge.jpg
Another small suggestion: Wear colors that look good on you too. For example, burnt orange or moss green can either be stunning or unflattering. Some people are better for warm tones, some for cool tones.... those subtle shade differences do make a difference.
