For Women
The standard job interviewing attire for
women is a conservative dark navy or gray skirted wool blend suit. Job experts
and employers seem split on the notion of pants suits, so a skirted suit is a
safer choice. Other conservative colors such as beige or brown are also
acceptable. A blazer with blouse and skirt is a possible second choice to a
suit. Skirt length should be a little below the knee and never shorter than
above the knee -- no Ally McBeal's here. Avoid wearing a dress. Blouses should
be cotton or silk and should be white, or some other light color. Shoes should
be low-heeled.
Make-up should be minimal, with lipstick and
nail polish conservative tones. Pantyhose should be flawless (no runs) and
conservative in color. You should opt for a briefcase rather than a purse.
For Men
The standard job interviewing attire for men
is a conservative dark navy or gray two-piece business suit (of natural fibers,
such as wool, if possible), a white long-sleeved button-down dress shirt, a
conservative silk tie (that matches the colors in your suit), and nicely
polished dress shoes. If you do not own a suit, or the company is a bit more
informal, then you should wear a conservative sports coat (no plaids or wild
patterns and preferably a dark color), nicely pressed dress slacks, a white
long-sleeved button-down shirt, a conservative silk tie, and nicely polished
dress shoes. Your belt should match your shoes.
If you have a beard or mustache, they should
be neatly trimmed. If you have any visible body parts pierced, most experts
recommend removing all jewelry, including earrings.
