    On One Hand: It is Not Appropriate For Men

    While workplace dress codes have become more casual in recent years, a T-shirt under a suit is not considered appropriate attire for an interview, according to Career Services @ Virginia Tech. For men, the only proper attire to wear with a suit is a dress shirt with an appropriate necktie.

    On the Other: It May Appropriate for Women

    The situation for women may be different, depending on the kind of top they may be thinking about wearing under a suit. A fitted cotton or knit top with a round or V-neck, reports bluesuitsonline.com, is an appropriate garment for a woman to wear under a suit for an interview.

    Bottom Line

    Women may be able to pass muster for an interview by wearing under a suit a top that resembles a T-shirt, but men don't have that option. No matter how stylish a T-shirt may be, it is inappropriate for a man to wear one under a suit for an interview.
