Work Wear (interview wear)

I was recently reading Glamour magazine and one article talked about what to wear to an interview. Different departments had their own advice but most talked about the all-known "Never Wear Jeans". And they also talked about feeling confident and comfortable in your interview clothes, which I agree with. 'Wear the clothes, don't let the clothes wear you', is my motto.

So I was inspired to write about work wear, which can be used for interviews as well. I love work wear and it is what I mostly buy. Work wear is does not have to be boring - even if your office is casual. Some say it is okay to wear heels to an interview, I'd say that looks a bit intimidating. At the office, it is fine, but try to keep it in neutral tones with hints of colour. Wedges are a great substitute for heels.

 The Inspirations 

Suggestions for Interview Wear:

Pair it with a black or navy blazer.
No chunky earrings, bracelets or necklaces.

Wear brown or beige flats.

Suggestions for Interview Wear:

No big, gold/silver watches.

Pair this with a fitted (not super skinny) dress pant - preferably black. See end of post.

Play with light, subtle colours for dress shirts/button downs
(e.g. a fitted light blue thin-striped dress shirt)

If the dress shirt is too bulky or large, tuck into pants.

Suggestions for Interview Wear:

Make sure the skirt isn't too short, closer to the knees is always a safe option.

Opt for a looser button-down shirt instead of a tank top - tuck into skirt.

Or even a satin halter top could work.

Light brown flats.
