Got an interview and wondering what to wear?
Fortunately, this is one of those articles about how to dress
for an interview. Maybe you’ve heard of dress for success job
interview sites. While there may be more details you can learn
online on the subject of proper dress for an interview, I’m just
going to quickly cover the basics of how to dress for a job
interview.
The standard interview dress code can vary from place to place
depending on the industry and actual workplace. However, it's
always best to stay on the safe side and dress conservatively
for the occasion.
Both men and women should wear dark colors for the traditional
interview look. The best suit colors to wear are blue and gray.
Black is okay, but can come off as a bit too formal. If you do
wear black, make sure to wear another color near your face to
soften the impact. Skip the brown. As a rule, men should wear
well-tailored suits, women should wear skirts no more than three
inches above the knee.
Dressing for Interview Success Quick Tips
** Always wear stockings, even in hot, humid weather
** Don't wear open-toed shoes, backless shoes or mules
** Choose collard dress shirts or blouses (men: wear a tie); no
turtlenecks
** Go easy on the jewelry; one or two rings are okay; no nose
rings, ankle bracelets, or bracelets/earrings that jangle
** Nails should be neatly groomed; no extremely long nails or
loud colored nail polish
** Leave leather jackets and blazers at home
** Briefcases, handbags, and shoes should be conservative in
color, no reds, or designer prints; think inconspicuous
It’s also important, when learning how to dress for a interview,
to study the employer company’s dress code. Every company has a
culture. Take your dress code cues from observing how their
employees dress for work.
