What to Wear to an Interview January 22, 2018January 22, 2018 Mo Mulchandani One of the most important factors of the job interview process is how you present yourself to the interviewers. While your skills and capabilities are what will ultimately win you the job, the first impression that you make also impacts your chances of being hired. Because of this, it is crucial to choose appropriate attire to wear to your interview. Here’s a comprehensive list of what to wear to an interview and the message your attire will send your interviewers. Polished and Professional If you’re interviewing for a corporate job, it’s best to opt for a classic tailored suit for your interview outfit choice. Try pairing a dark-colored, single-breasted suit with a relatively conservative, yet stylish button-down shirt, a solid color tie, and classic leather Oxfords. The Extrema Solid Black Super 150’s Wool Vested Wide Leg Suit is an excellent choice, combined with an Axxess White Modern Fit 100% Cotton Dress Shirt, a Stacy Adams Black / Black Polka Dot Design Silk Necktie, and these eye-catching Mezlan “Luciano” Black Genuine Alligator Oxford Shoes.

While you can still dress conservatively if you prefer, you can also opt for classy business casual to show that you are a good fit for their company culture. Try pairing dark-colored dress pants with a stylish fitted dress shirt, and polished loafers. The Pronti Solid Navy Blue Wide Leg Slacks, worn with this fashionable, yet interview-appropriate, Axxess White / Blue Modern Fit Cotton Dress Shirt is sure to make an excellent impression. For footwear, you can’t go wrong with these stunning Mezlan “Bordone” Black Genuine Hand Burnished Perforated Italian Alligator Penny Loafers.

Learn as much as you can about the company’s culture and their dress code, and make sure your interview attire matches their aesthetic and culture. When in doubt, be sure to overdress. If you’re interviewing for a company that encourages employees to wear jeans and a T-shirt, always aim for one step above for example a button-down and tailored slacks. While, neutrals particularly black, blue, and gray are your safest bets concerning what colors to wear during your interview, don’t be afraid to select an outfit that’s a little more on the trendy side if you are interviewing for a fashion-driven company such as a high-end boutique or fashion design firm.
