Interview Wear
Outfits that one can wear to an interview that are appropriate. As everyone knows ( I hope that everyone knows) what you wear to your interview can determine your chances of being offered the postion.
Black is always a safe route to go, it is clean and classy. Too much black can be overkill though, and you don’t want to look like you are going to a funeral. Pair a black dress or skirt with some mauve colored tights to lighten up the look.
Pants should be well tailored and professional looking. Sticking with neutral colors like brown and tan, and adding a bright pop of color is classic, easy, and clean looking.

No jeans, ever. I can not stress this enough. Denim has such a casual look about it, that even when it is dressed up, it usually looks more like you are about to go clubbing, than sit down at a desk in an office. The same goes with t-shirts.
No sleeveless. Even if they allow it for their employees, cover up the armpits when you go meet with the boss!
Nothing too revealing. This should be pretty obvious, but you don’t want to walk into an office looking like you are about to apply at a strip club. Keep skirts at a good length, and try not to show too much cleavage.
Keep accessories on the down low. While it is definitely good to accesorize, don’t overdo it. Stick with one or two simple pieces that add to your outfit. Big bulky pieces may distract the employer.
If you are interviewing at a more formal place, always wear stockings with your skirt or dress. Also, do not wear open toed shoes.
Wear makeup, but keep it at a minimum. This isn’t a good time to experiment with that new blue and yellow eyeshadow you bought.
Let your hair down. Make sure it is cleaned, styled and professional. If you prefer to wear it up, make sure it looks neat. Avoid wearing ponytails or sloppy buns.
