Interviews: The Basic Apparel

Not too flashy but yet still acceptable
Interviews. Everyone goes and deals with business interviews. They are some of the most nerve wrecking yet exciting moments of our lives; it’s a step into our futures. Well, like me and many other young adults in college, we want to set the right impression for an interview. We want to be sure that we say the right things at the right time, show our resumes that we spent countless hours on correcting, be there early, etc. One of the most important things that I want to be sure I have right, is the way I dress for an interview.

A briefcase isn't a must but it won't hurt!
For the last couple of months, I’ve had a couple of interviews for internships and positions. I found that the “dress to impress” motto was quite realistic. After doing some research on my own, I found that for males it was impressive and appropriate to wear a tie to an interview. Ties are a sign of professionalism and respect. Also, depending on the company and the position, a suit might be more suitable for an interview. However, for me and many other young adults, our positions we are applying for are either entry level or internships (suits usually aren’t always necessary).

Ladies, don’t let me forget about you! According to a Monster article, it states that young ladies should be professional in their attire but yet still show some personality (be light on the jewelry!) 
Being overdressed can be uncomfortable and not flattering!




To provide an example of how to dress to an interview, I got ready for one myself. As you can see, I “rocked” some slim fight navy dress pants along with a lighter blue collar shirt. I made sure to stay with the season and packed all my winter ties away and got out something a little lighter. I made sure to have freshly polished black dress shoes and brought out my briefcase and watch.
The best part about this look is the price! Including the watch the total price is still under $130!



This looks ia all under $130!

  1. I am probably the least fashionable person I know, even back when I was a young adult, but now that I have a teen in the house I am learning much more than I thought I ever would about fashion. Your post about what to wear when you work out was especially informational for me since I've only recently learned what Under Amour even is! I have however always been a fan of Adidas athletic shoes! Great blog!
