Choosing the right outfit to a job interview © Armani
It’s all about leaving a good first impression. Attending the interview and leaving a good impression (also with your overall look) is already half the work. Scientists have found out that we form an opinion within the first few seconds of meeting a person for the first time. Although subconsciously, this first impression influences further judgement and in the worst case scenario can lead to a decision against you. Often we just get the one chance to prove them wrong during the interview. Let’s face it, the question, “what to wear?” takes on greater significance than usual in a job interview. That’s why it’s important not to neglect choosing your outfit wisely when going for a job interview. It’s advised to dress up rather than down.
You don’t need to spend money for a new outfit, why not work with what you already have in your closet. You can’t go wrong with a white plain white shirt , it is always suitable. A white shirt makes sure you look properly business-like, without over dressing. Why not team it up with a blazer and smart trousers. The only thing you should make sure of is that it’s starched to perfection and has no stains. Besides the outfit it’s also important to pay attention to your overall look.
Some tips for wearing a suit: Suits in traditional dark blue or gray with pinstripes are a great way to present an air of confidence and aptitude and leaving a good impression. Also, when picking a suit, consider the image you wish to present. Did you know that according to men’s fashion experts, a pinstripe suit makes you seem more authoritative, while a solid suit will make you more likable?
Pick out your tie: This is a simple one, as you should go for a tie in a conservative color with a traditional pattern. You should avoid ties with cartoons as well as and stay away from flashily decorated ties and ties with your favourite logo . If your interview is in the fashion or music industry you might want to choose a more eye-catchy motif.
