Blue with black? Personally, I wouldn't wear that. I'd wear a white, grey, red...basically any other color other than brown.

depends really on the tie. A tie will usually either make or break an outfit.

Hey, me too. JC Penney!

I guess it depends on the color of blue. A dark blue would be cool. I'm just not down with light-blue with suits.

I have been going on interviews wearing a black suit and blue button down shirt and blue tie. Should I be wearing a white shirt instead of a blue one?

White shirt with a black suit? Yes, if you're applying for a job as a funeral director. White shirts are OK with other color suits, but a colored shirt is a better choice with any suit. White = stiff, white with black suit = Al Gore.

Yes, White shirt with black suit. Most companies are still conservative, and the more conservative you go the better. This is especially true if you are interviewing with a big company, and the interview is with one of the "C" level employees (CEO, CFO, CIO, etc).

Colored shirts, expecially ones other than blue, are typically a no-no.

Absolutely true.

You just don't wear colored shirts to an interview. It says "I can't dress myself and an important meeting/client."
