In the SSB interview, men should wear the following outfits:

• In the winter, wear a dark suit or blazer (navy, dark gray/charcoal, or black) with a white shirt, whereas in the summer, wear a plain white shirt. Dress in black formal trousers that are neither too baggy nor too skintight.
• Select a conservative tie (either in black or navy blue). Bow ties and busy designs should be avoided. Tie designs with floral or pineapple motifs should be avoided. Solids are preferred, but stripes or dots are also options.
• Your shoes should be either black, brown, or burgundy in hue. Wear socks that are the same color. Wear shoes that are toe-covered, impeccably polished, and free of scratches and stains.
• Wear a solid-coloured belt to complement the color of your shoes. Avoid belts with patterns or that are too bright.
• Remove any distracting jewelry, such as earrings, necklaces, or bracelets.
• Choose a haircut that is clean, sleek, and well-kept. Also, shave your beard and moustache to present your finest self.
• The morning of the interview, shower or bathe. Deodorant should be worn. Wearing perfume or aftershave is not a good idea. You don’t want to be overpoweringly scented.
• Make sure you’re not out of breath. Before you depart for the interview, brush your teeth. Before the interview, don’t smoke.

Go for a Dress Rehearsal

• On the day of the SSB interview, avoid deciding what to wear. You don’t want to look like a youngster dressed up in daddy’s outfit. It’s just as crucial to get the perfect fit as it is to get the right outfit.
• Try on your entire clothing a few days before the SSB interview to make sure it fits correctly and appears clean and professional. To test how your interview dress fits and feels, conduct a mock interview with a friend or family member while wearing it.
• Do your laundry and ironing a couple of days ahead of time. Check for wrinkles, stains, holes, or pet hair one last time the night before the interview.

Don’t worry too much about the SSB Interview dress if you keep the preceding tips in mind. Always keep your outfit simple and avoid overdoing it.
