Dress For Success - The Job Interview (For Women)

Firstly, congratulations, you have landed an interview! Now all you have to do is impress the company enough to hire you over the others.

This means you need to make sure you get everything right, and leave nothing to chance.

At the interview your potential future boss will look at everything you say, do and wear. All these little things can make or break your chances.

So, besides a printed copy of your CV, make sure you bring great manners, a positive and friendly attitude... and a professional image.

There is no standard attire for a job interview, it all depends on the company. But, there is a correct attire for each company, and it's up to you to research what's the best choice for you. One way to do that, is by phoning the HR department, and ask them. Always dress smarter than the day-to-day dress code of the business, you want to show you care, and are keen to get the position.

Let's say you are going for an office based job. Generally a business suit is the right choice. For men this is a pretty standard set-up, however, women have a few more decisions to make; skirt or trouser suit, colour, shirt etc.

Skirt or Trouser suit? Opt for whichever one is most comfortable for you, and fits your figure best. Some women look amazing in a pencil skirt, others are much better suited in trousers. Whatever you choose, make sure it fits you well, and is comfortable. Its the last thing you want to worry about while answering questions at the interview. Choose simple lines, a pencil skirt, or straight-legged trousers. A short skirt is not a good idea, trust us.

A black business suit is not your only option. There are some excellent, business-appropriate colours out there, which offer much more flexibility when it comes to matching shoes, shirts and accessories. If you do go with black, be careful which colours you match it with.

For the interview I suggest you go for a very simple, yet sophisticated look. Don't go for prints of bold colours, stick with very simple jewelry, maybe some pearl earrings, but not too much more. Keep your hair pulled out of your face, in a simple do.

Once you have landed the job, you can use that same business suit, and mix and match it with more fashionable accessories like shoes, bags and scarves.

Now, its not always easy for women to find an affordable, yet high quality suit, shift dresses or other office clothes. Women in the UK now have an online one-stop shop for their stylish business clothing. This fairly new shop sells individual clothing pieces, but also entire outfits styled together for inspiration, and daily style inspiration updates.
