Dressing for success is more than a cliché; it's a critical element of preparing for a job interview. Your outfit can speak volumes before you even utter a word, so choosing the right attire is essential. Not only does it affect how you're perceived by potential employers, but it also influences your confidence and comfort level, which can impact your performance. With that in mind, let's dive into the key factors you should consider to ensure you make the best impression with your interview outfit.

1 Dress Code

Understanding the company's dress code is the first step in selecting an appropriate interview outfit. If the company has a business professional dress code, you'll want to opt for a suit or a jacket and dress pants for men, or a suit, pantsuit, or conservative dress for women. For business casual environments, you can afford to be slightly less formal, but still neat and polished. When in doubt, err on the side of being overdressed rather than underdressed. It's always better to look too formal than too casual in an interview setting.

Here are the key points to consider when preparing for an interview: 1) Dress professionally (style, colours, and accessories) 2) Adjust to industry norms, as appropriate, especially in industries with safety guidelines e.g. jewellery, footwear. 3) Ensure your outfit is comfortable 4) Ensure you are neat, clean and tidy In my experience, when attending an interview, dressing appropriately helps you perform at your best and reduces potential distractions.

2 Industry Norms

Each industry has its own norms and expectations when it comes to attire. For instance, creative fields may allow for more self-expression through clothing, while finance or law typically expect traditional business attire. Research the industry standards and observe what employees wear if you have the chance. This will give you a clearer idea of what's expected and help you tailor your outfit to fit in with potential colleagues while still standing out in a positive way.

3 Comfort Level

While it's important to look professional, your comfort is equally crucial. An outfit that is too tight, itchy, or cumbersome can distract you during the interview. Choose clothing that fits well and allows you to move freely. This includes selecting the right shoes; you don't want to be hobbling in pain or struggling to walk. Comfort also means dressing appropriately for the weather and the temperature of the office, so you're not too hot or too cold during your interview.

4 Color Choices

Colors can have a psychological impact, so choose them wisely. Neutral colors like navy, gray, and black are safe bets for a professional look. However, a pop of color can be acceptable, especially if it's subtle and complements your overall outfit. Avoid overly bright or flashy colors that might distract the interviewer. The goal is to look put-together and approachable, with your attire supporting rather than overshadowing your qualifications.

It really depends on your palette - wearing a bright colour can mean you are memorable… in interview discussions… the person with the red shoes… it’s a factor that can make you topic of conversation and easily identifiable amongst the rest. Saying that… they colour needs to compliment your look, your skin tone, the aesthetic because otherwise it will literally put people off you. So it’s about wearing the right red so to speak… colour analysis or colour theory is really helpful here. Finally a clean palette, so neutrals, can be useful but only if they are you… don’t wear grey if you are not a grey person / your clothes make the first impression so make them an honest reflection of who you are.

5 Personal Grooming

Personal grooming is just as important as your clothing choices. Ensure your hair is neat, nails are clean, and any facial hair is well-groomed. For makeup and perfume or cologne, keep it minimal and avoid strong scents that could be off-putting. Your aim is to present the best version of yourself, which means paying attention to all the details that contribute to a polished appearance.

6 Accessory Balance

Finally, consider the accessories you choose to complement your outfit. They should be professional and understated. A watch or simple jewelry can add a touch of elegance without being distracting. Ensure that your belt matches your shoes, and that any bags or briefcases are in good condition and appropriate for the workplace. Accessories are the finishing touches that can enhance your outfit, but they should never become the focal point.

When attending a video interview, your attire will be viewed in the context of the background. Here are considerations on creating an appropriate video interview background. 1) opt for a simple, uncluttered background that avoids distractions. A plain wall or a neatly arranged bookshelf will work. 2) Ensure the background is well lit by having natural light or using lamps. 3) Ensure the area is context appropriate e.g. avoid kitchen, bedroom or areas that appear too casual 4) If choosing a graphic background, choose one with neutral colours and simplicity. If applicable, subtly incorporate elements that reflect your personal brand as long as the elements do not distract. This ensures focus remains on your qualifications & performance.
