As a recruiter, and someone who happens to appreciate fashion, I’m often asked the question of “What do I wear to my interview?”. Don’t get me wrong, I struggle with this too. But each day I say to myself, whether dressing for an interview or the work day, “Dress for the job you want”. I try to dress up a bit on the lookout of my next job. Here are a few tips I put together on how to dress for your interviews, as well as some resources to help in finding the clothes in a very affordable way:

  1. Always do a double check a few days prior to your interview to make sure your outfit is clean, ironed, and free of any stains, holes, and frayed or loose hems.
  2. If you don’t have your own suit or access to one you can go with something as simple as black or grey pants with a button down/tailored shirt or a sweater. And keep the colors more muted in colors like white, pale blue, pale pink, or lilac.
  3. Dresses and skirts in black, and grey are the most appropriate. You will want to stay away from any loud or distracting prints.
  4. If you’re wearing a skirt or dress you will want to make sure to wear tights in nude or black, and check them for any runs or pulls.
  5. Your hair should be neat and tidy, styled in a professional manner. Here some suggestions on hair styles best job interview hairstyles for women (https://www.thebalance.com/best-job-interview-hairstyles-for-women-2061187)
  6. Stay away from any and all heavy perfumes and scented lotions, you never know what someone may be allergic to.

Thank you for these tips. However, I feel the one about wearing tights with a dress or skirt is a little outdated. I don't think it's as important to where those anymore. Is anyone really looking that hard at the legs, anyway?
