Interview Attire Top Tips
- Avoid wearing uncomfortable footwear or footwear that makes you unsteady on your feet. Make sure that your footwear is closed-toe. If you want to wear heels, do but only if you feel comfortable in them and the heel size is 8cms or less.
- For more casual interviews, you can wear jeans but opt for a darker shade like black, with a more tailored fit and no rips or distressed detailing.
- If you’re wearing a skirt or a dress, make sure the hem falls at your knees or below. Also, if you wear them with tights, make sure they don’t have any ladders in them.
- Wear your hair in a hairstyle that’s comfortable and one that you aren’t going to play with, or keep pushing away from your face.
What To Wear To An Interview
Best Interview Outfits for A Casual Workplace
Whether you are applying for a position at a café, or a small start-up company, your casual interview outfit still needs to have thought and effort put into it. Even if the company you’re interviewing for has a ‘casual’ dress code. For the interview and the first week at least of working there (if you’re successful), you should dress semi-formally to give a good first impression. Always try to dress above the dress code in these circumstances.
