You have got that important interview call. And you may have done your all paperwork, gone through all the interview planning. Now at this stage, you must have that burning desire to make your interview day bigger. But when it comes to selecting the dress for job interview, a good number of otherwise qualified applicants mess up. You know interview is a critical meeting and it is all about your first impression when you present your image.
To stay ahead in any career, paying attention to the wardrobe and appearance is important as it creates powerful impression at the workplace. Half the battle is won if you give the right impression to the interviewer at the time of interview and your employer will consider you'd be worth hiring as a new employee in the company. To be more precise, you have to look nothing short of perfect as far as your dressing sense is concerned. Being or at least appearing to be perfect is no walk in the park; you have to create an overall image where every aspect of yourself will look like something the HR department wants to hire.
There is no permanent trick that will make your appearance impeccable with a highly professional put-together image. But it is all up to you how you present yourself at the time of interview. Before the interview know the company and its culture and also research the industry to familiarize with the universal dress code. Moreover, discuss with your colleagues and staff of companies (whenever get chance) to get an idea about the dress code.
The most preferred dress for job interview for men is business suit with solid color. Men basically wear classic suit with dress shirt underneath paired with tie, trousers, belt, socks, and leather shoes. You can also incorporate your own style or preference if you already have a strong grasp of the standard basic fashion. Otherwise you risk messing up your look with contradicting designs and colors. For interview like situation, it’s always best to keep your dress code simple, classic and sober. For business suits, the most preferred colors are black, navy, grey or brown. Moreover, dress shirts also come in different materials, colors, and designs. White shirt is very common and probably the safest color to wear. You can wear it with any other color. Other than white, you can also choose lighter or paler colors. Match it appropriately with a color coordinated silk tie. For material, choose the cotton-based which are comfortable and doesn't wrinkle too much like linen or silk. There are various choices available to mix and match with your dress shirt with suits and tie.
Furthermore, keep all other important interview accessories professional. To carry your resume, references or other important documents, take a briefcase or nice leather- or vinyl-bound portfolio. Other important thing is that always go for high quality suit and the dress you’ve worn should be well fitted and comfortable so that you feel relaxed and confident at the time of interview.
