What Should You Wear
Wear a dark suit/tie for the gentlemen and dark suit/top for the ladies unless otherwise instructed to wear your white coat by your department
White Coat? take a look at what others are wearing in your department if everyone is wearing their white coat go ahead and do the same. White coats are hard to photograph, often they are dirty & wrinkled and the white of the coat makes it hard for the camera to deal with skin tones consistently
