Do not wear gym attire, like sweatpants, as this likely conveys a lack of seriousness in the interview. Just like sweatpants and ripped jeans, sandals and flip-flops are too casual. While you may be relaxed while wearing this type of footwear, it does not look professional. You want to be comfortable when you are doing a job interview, so you should wear well-fitting clothing that both enhance your appearance and are appropriate in a professional setting.
It is important to wear shoes that complement your outfit and also fit well. When you wear shoes that are difficult or awkward to walk in, you will act uncomfortable during your job interview so invest in footwear you will feel good walking in and wearing in the workplace. Avoid wearing clothes that show too much skin or your undergarments. You do not want to have a bare midriff or low-cut neckline. If you have tattoos on your arms or lower legs, you may choose to cover them during the interview as body art can be distracting.
Also, some companies may have policies about tattoos so check ahead of time. Be conservative with piercings. Nose rings and other facial piercings may be prohibited by the company.
Unless you are applying for a job in the fashion industry, avoid wearing clothing that is overly flashy or trendy. Steer clear of distracting jewelry, such as overly large earrings, and choose simple pieces that complement your outfit. You should also avoid wearing necklaces that are too ornate and wearing more than one bracelet. Noisy bracelets or bangles could cause a distraction during your interview. You want to make a good impression, and stained clothing will do the opposite. Not only are stains embarrassing, but they are distracting and cause you to look sloppy.
Like stained clothing, wrinkled clothing makes for a careless appearance. Tastefully done makeup should accentuate your facial features. If you wear heavy makeup or bold colors, this could be distracting and take away from a positive interview. For most companies, conservative interview attire is a safe option. Choose clean, well-fitting clothing that evokes confidence and professionalism.
Wear clothes that are appropriate for the industry and the job you are applying for. If you are interviewing for an internship at a tech start-up, you can choose business casual clothing that best fits with the company dress code. Jeans may be appropriate for certain jobs. If you appear sloppy, the hiring manager may perceive that the work you produce is also sloppy.
I think the best thing a potential hire can do is to conduct some wardrobe recon. Another way to check out the culture? You may not consider perfume and cologne part of the "what not to wear to an interview" list, but trust us, the nose knows. No matter how good you think you smell, wearing fragrances could backfire. Keep it neutral. Casual interview attire like wild or bright prints can be jarring to an interviewer, as can your shoulder-length chandelier earrings.
Keep the noisy or chunky jewelry for another occasion. Thomas in Houston. And keep in mind that knowing what not to wear to an interview is only part of the total package—you also need to ace the questions. Need some help in that department? If the top has a straight hem, wear it untucked and make sure it falls neatly. If the top has a curved or shaped hem, tuck it into the waistband of the trousers or skirt.
Pull it up a little for ease of movement and make sure no skin is exposed when leaning over. Navy or black trousers and skirts work well for business casual. If wearing a skirt, make sure the hem is at least knee-length or longer.
A pencil or A-line silhouette is most appropriate for business casual. You can wear trousers and skirts made from cotton twill as long as they are tailored for business wear. Trousers can be pleated or plain in front with hems that are long enough to cover the top of the shoe.
Wear tights if you're wearing a skirt or dress, and wear socks long enough to reach past the hem of your trousers if wearing trousers. Your tights should be sheer and be a colour that's appropriate for your complexion.
Make sure your socks have a neutral colour or a simple pattern that doesn't overwhelm your outfit. Pumps, flats and low heels all work for business casual. Avoid high heels unless they're something you're comfortable wearing.
It's best to wear neutral colours such as cream, brown, navy or black to create a cohesive appearance with the rest of your outfit. Only wear bright colours if you are wearing trousers that are long enough to cover most of the shoe.
You want your shoes to be complementary, but not distracting. Wear shoes that are clean and don't have any marks or scuffs. Select jewellery and accessories that don't overpower you or your outfit. Wear tasteful costume jewellery or opt for simple items such as fine gold chains and slender bracelets. Wear up to three rings at a time, but no more as too many rings can be distracting.
Earrings should be kept simple as well. Hoops or studs with minimal stones are preferable as they won't overpower your face. Keep an eye towards complementing your clothing instead of letting your accessories speak for you. The following guidelines are for men's business casual attire. Start with a button-down shirt with a button collar for ties in white or light colours.
Avoid wearing intense or unusual colours. Keep the shirt tucked into your trousers. If you prefer to wear a tie, pick one that has a solid colour that complements the colour of your shirt or has a simple pattern that's not distracting. If the weather is cool, wear a jumper over the shirt.
