Manolo says, the Manolo’s most recent column for the Express of the Washington Post it is now available for the downloading at their website. Today’s question it is shoes suitable for the interview for the job.

Dear Manolo,

I have a job interview soon, and I’ve selected a lovely navy pinstripe suit with a pencil skirt to wear. I’ve found a pair of black slingbacks that go with it, but my question is, is it appropriate to wear slingbacks to an interview? Also, can I wear black shoes with a navy suit?

K.

Manolo says, black shoes with the navy suit? Yes!

As for the the slingbacks, they are the compromise between the full pump and the too-sexy-and-frivolous-for-the-interview mule, and because of this, the answer it is the qualified maybe.

If your job interview it is with the art gallery, or the house of publishing, or one of the other creative industries, then the slingback, it is indeed most appropriate, as one would wish to display some indication of mild relaxation.

However, if your interview it is for the job in the house of investment banking, or the office of the federal prosecutor, then perhaps it would be best to appear as conservative as possible, so as not to frighten the natives with your wanton display of the heel skin.

Of the course, either way, you still would wish your shoes to be very attractive, and so the Manolo he would suggest that you look for the black pump.

But, you do not yet have the job, and you are not made of the moneys, and so you need the shoe at the reasonable price. Thus, the Manolo he would recommend to you the Destiny 2 from the Circa by the Joan and the David.

Not only does it have the name of great portent, but it is both stylish and attractively priced.

The Manolo he asks his many internet friends, should the Manolo’s column be syndicated in more of the newspapers? Perhaps this it is something he should persue.
