Dress For Success

Appropriate attire for an interview:

Men:

  • A conservative suit in dark blue or dark gray with a long-sleeved white shirt. The tie should be conservative and in-style.

  • Dark socks with dark freshly shined shoes are recommended.

  • Jewelry should be limited to a wristwatch and ring.

  • Fingernails should be clean and well manicured.

  • Faces should be clean-shaven. Beards and mustaches should be neatly trimmed.

Women: 

  • Women today have a few more options when it comes to career dressing, but similar principles apply. Dressing conservatively is still the rule of thumb for interviews.

  • A business suit in a subdued color is best for interviews. Dress in today’s styles, but keep the hemline close to the knee length and keep blouses modest.

  • Shoe heel height should be moderate and comfortable – shoes should be freshly polished. If heel tips are worn get them replaced – so you don’t click as you walk.

  • Jewelry should be minimal and in good taste.

  • Nails should be well manicured and polished in clear, light or French manicure. If long nails are a part of a personal fashion statement, avoid bright colors and glittered accents for interviewing.

  • Make-up should be professional in taste and lightly applied.

  • If wearing a skirt, keep the hemline close to the knee.

  • Keep blouses professional and modest.
