Quick Answer: What to Wear to a Job Interview
Dress one step above the company's everyday dress code. For big and tall men, a well-fitting suit or sport jacket with a stretch dress shirt is the safest choice, and fit matters more than anything: shoulders that sit right, a shirt that stays tucked and pants that hold their shape.
- Corporate: suit, dress shirt, tie
- Business casual: sport jacket, dress shirt, dress pants
- Casual workplace: quarter zip or collared shirt with smart pants

Why the H-XTech Suit Works for Interviews
Interviews can be warm and stressful. The Hechter Paris H-XTech Suit uses moisture-wicking, sweat-masking fabric with odour control and a stretch lining, so you stay comfortable and look composed. Jackets run in chest sizes 46 to 66 in regular, tall and extra-tall lengths, with matching pants in waists 38 to 62.
Interview Fit Checklist for Big & Tall Men
- Jacket buttons close without pulling across the chest or belly
- Shirt collar fits with room for one finger
- Tie reaches your belt line
- Pants sit at your natural waist and break slightly at the shoe
