You landed the interview for your dream job! Now what? We’re here to help. Whether the interview is in-person or via Zoom, there are a few things to keep in mind to put your best foot forward. Keep scrolling for interview outfit ideas broken up by industry that will help you dress to impress.

Finance, Law & Medical

For more classic and professional industries, a good rule of thumb is to stick with traditional business attire like high-waisted trousers, tailored blazers, and office-appropriate shift dresses. These pieces will communicate your interest in the position and showcase your professionalism. Traditional 9-5 outfits don’t mean you have to look boring. Add interest to your conservative business wear with chic, monochromatic separates. Finish the look with simple and subtle jewelry to add a pinch of personality!

Creative & Marketing

Interviews for jobs in creative industries present a chance to show your creativity through your wardrobe and interviewers love to see your personality shine through. Generally speaking, the offices in these industries have a looser dress code standard and give you more freedom with your outfit choices. Use your look to show that you bring your unique personality and a fresh perspective to the table. Consider bold colors or interesting silhouettes, textures, or accessories.

Tech & Start-Ups

For an interview in these more casual work environments, business casual is the perfect standard to emulate with a hint of comfort and practicality. While you don’t need to overdress, you still want to make a good first impression. Style a well-fitting trouser with a patterned blouse or pair a blazer with dark wash jeans. Choose a statement item that has a unique detail to help you stand out from the crowd.
