You were doing so well until this crap. It may be out of fashion among 20-30 year olds, but it's still widely popular in a business setting.
I'm 40 and this has been around for a long time. I don't know a single professional in my industry that regularly wears a black suit. Like I said every guys first suit should be navy, followed by charcoal, followed by navy or blue pattern.
The only times I see black suits are bank tellers, fine dining waiters, or at funerals, etc.
This rule really dates back to England and the birth of modern male fashion. The help (butlers, foot men, maids, etc) wore black to hide stains. You would never see a duke, earl, etc wearing black except at a black tie event.

Wearing facial jewelry, not fixing your hair, not shaving, having dirty finger nails and wearing way too much cologne has nothing to do with being "rich" or a good dresser.
If you are a graduate student, pursuing a graduate degree in business, I think at a minimum you should have a basic understanding of how professionals in the business world dress. I would expect a candidate to take that knowledge and try to mirror those professionals when they show up to a job fair.
As an employer, I would have no expectation that a student show up in a $2,000 suit and $500 shoes. I would have an expectation that they at least attempt to look the part and not show up wearing white socks.

Their flyer only says dark shoes. It doesn't say black shoes. Brown can be considered dark. They specifically say dark gray or black suit. They should have been more specific with the shoe requirement.

I only wear brown shoes and belts with navy suits.
Black on blue looks awful.
Sorry I dress better than you.

And if you wear black shoes with a blue suit then there is no hope for you especially if you are under 55.

I'm not normally a "This!" guy, but I agree with all of this. I own around 10 suits and would never think about buying a solid black suit. Unless it's a tux.
I would love to see the sartorial challenged dork who put together that dress code. Probably wearing pleated khakis with black wingtips right now.

No, but it is a subtle way to reinforce white privilege and further subjugate minorities so it's still pretty useful.
Tell that to the white guy that was in my senior design group that had to hold his shoes together with duct tape. Very smart guy, but was dirt poor.

My preference is charcoal suit with oxblood shoes
Also, what's the deal with them saying only white shirts? Isn't blue also an acceptable color? Obviously that normal light blue, not royal blue

I'd actually be willing to bet a woman put it together. Not being familiar with male fashion, she probably assumed black/gray was like the "default" suit color that every guy owns.

I'd have to assume by black they meant charcoal? I could see dark grey/ charcoal over other colors because that is unisex color. Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but I can't think of blue being a popular color for women's suits? So maybe they were trying to keep everyone looking pretty bland?

Blue suit with light brown shoes is probably he best looking combo

Maybe old men who buy off the rack suits from Macy's. Nobody wears black suits other than people who want to look like this:

You have to remember that a lot of business schools are run by people who have never actually worked in the private sector (or maybe they did for a brief period a few decades ago).

Wait why would you wear black shoes with a navy suit? Brown is the way to go
Posted on 2/17/17 at 10:32 am to TigerGman
Dark brown shoes are perfectly acceptable with a blue suit.

I could go on indefinitely, but you get the point. I greatly prefer a navy suit myself, but black is perfectly adequate among business executives. Is it fashionable? No. Is it acceptable? Most certainly.

You no taste bastards remind me to take a photo of my black suit after I get home. You'll see it's perfect.
