Dress up for your interview

There are a few different options when it comes to dress codes for interviews. Some people say you should dress more formal, like in a suit and tie. Others say you should be wearing something less formal, like slacks and a button-down shirt. Some even argue that casual attire is the best choice for an interview. But what is the best way to choose your attire?

Your idea of professional outfits will be different based on who you're interviewing with and where you're interviewing at. For example, if you're interviewing with a bank and you have experience in a bank, you may want to wear khakis and a button-down shirt. If you're going to an architecture business for an interview, it would be best to wear slacks and a collared shirt. You can't really go wrong with a suit and tie, but then again there are some companies who do think it's too formal.

If you're more concerned about impressing your potential employer, then decide what kind of work they do. Knowing the industry will help you find out what kind of outfit is required: Khakis are freer for casual companies; dark suits are freer for more formal companies. It can be easy to know this by looking at their website or just asking someone who works there.

You should do some research and find out how the interviewers dress. If you're going for a less formal job, it would be best to wear something like a collared shirt with slacks. But if you're going into a more formal place, it would be better to wear a suit with one or two accessories, such as a tie or watch. This shows that you look professional and have taken the time to at least dress up for your interview, even though you didn't need to wear anything too formal because of their attire. Most workplaces don't expect you to wear something too formal. To make a good first impression, you should dress semi-formal. It shows your employer that you're not going to turn up in tracksuit pants or something that's just too informal.

The idea is, if you show up more professionally dressed than the employers think is necessary, they will notice your effort to look nice and it will make them like you a bit more than if you didn't dress up at all. If a business casual environment is unclear to you, ask someone who works there what type of dress code applies as this can vary from company to company.

Remember, this is your first impression, so make sure you're dressed nicely enough for the job you're interviewing for. If you are wearing a suit and tie, look neat, tidy and clean. If you're interviewing with a business casual environment and your interviewers wear jeans and a t-shirt then wear a similar outfit.

Even though no one expects you to be in an expensive suit, don't think that it's acceptable to dress like slob just to get through the interview. You want to stick out from the crowd by looking nice and professional but careful not to become too formal if that's not what the company wants from its employees. Look good but not too good because that can seem fake and unprofessional.

Conclusion: Dress up for the interview

You will need to wear something that represents what that company is like and what they do. You can't just show up in your jeans and t-shirt, even if you think it's more casual. If you're intending to become an accountant, for example, it's not smart to wear a shirt that says "I'm Accountant" on it if you're interviewing with a business casual environment.
