Ready to Wear: Ideas for Interview Fashion

If you’ve never held an office job before, you might not know what professional attire looks like. You also might be confused about how to dress for your interview to get such a job.

No matter the job you’re trying to get, dressing nicely is key. You should look neat and polished, with clean hair and comfortable, but dressy, practical footwear. Remember that it’s extremely obvious to even the most casual onlooker that someone is uncomfortable in what he or she is wearing. If you have to wear something you’ve never worn before, test it out. See how it looks when you sit down, walk, put your arm out to shake hands or hold your briefcase. (This is something you could actually do in the changing room before you buy the outfit, too.)

I’ve scoured the internet for some helpful examples of what a job seeker should wear to an interview. Unless you’re going for a lifeguard or beekeeper job, at least one of these outfits should work for you!
