What to wear to a job interview
Dress with intention so the focus stays on your ideas, not your outfit.
Dress One Step Up
Dress one step more formal than the team’s day-to-day. If you’re unsure, go neutral (navy, gray, black), clean lines, and good fit. The goal is to keep focus on your ideas, not your outfit.
Match the Context
For corporate roles, choose business formal: blazer/jacket, shirt or blouse, and polished shoes. For tech/startups, smart casual works: dark jeans or chinos, shirt/blouse, and clean sneakers or loafers.
Final Checks
Do a quick mirror test: sit and stand to check fit and comfort. For virtual interviews, review lighting, background, and camera framing from the chest up. Keep accessories minimal and avoid noisy patterns.
