The Interview Lookbook

01 of 07

Corporate job
Now this is quite easy, corporate rumors are all too true; you need to look as serious as your job qualifications are, so your dress code must absolutely entail either a pantsuit or a pencil skirt with a clean cut blouse and some chic pumps. Refrain from donning flashy colors or any bold accessories of the sort. The simpler you are, the better.

Creative job
This is where you put your especially creative fingers to use. The creative industry is nothing if not a preppy and enthusiastic world, so why not glorify your wardrobe with your hidden ingenuity and show your interviewer your all-too true personality – within limits of course. Keep your accessories to a minimum but invest in a good pair of eccentricity and originality!

Fashion job
Forget about the power of the suit and take out your trendiest accessories. Now it’s important to note that you shouldn’t go all out and put your super-trendy hat on. Lay low on the clothes front and channel all your energy into your shoes, jewelry and bag. Keep in mind that the company’s culture is extremely important in here!

Cha-Ching! You’ve landed your first dream-job interview. You’ve prepared notes upon notes of relevant information and you’ve memorized the company’s website by heart. You’ve thought everything through, except for the most crucial part of it all; the dress code! Wearing your old blazer with some straight pants might be your safest choice, but is it the smartest, nay, the most captivating one? As a matter of fact, it would definitely be appropriately fascinating, but chances are it would pale in comparison to the magic of fashion. Interviewees are often accused of seeming too nervous or even stiff, a blasphemous accusation in an era in which fashion is the real deal. So care to remedy upon that statement?

If you have already made an investment into a run-of-the-mill suit for your interview and still feel that there is a gap that needs filling, then scroll into the Photo Gallery to get a better idea of the most appropriate wardrobe choices for the different kinds of interviews you might land.
