Stylish interview outfit for high end fashion store
Permalink Closed


Hi girls, I have an interview for a luxury men's fashion corporate office.. I would definitely like to wear a suit, but I want to look as stylish as possible.. any suggestions?

Thanks!

if you do a suit i would accessorize with a great bag and killer shoes. 

should you opt for something other than a suit another suggestion would be a black button down and black pants. it looks really sharp when you tuck the shirt in and pair it with a great belt (i used a gray patent leather belt). i used this look for an interview with a luxury women's boutique and got the job so i'm thinking it worked.  

another option is to do striped pants and a striped button down. i like this look b/c it's crisp, and professional, but the mixed stripes add a fashiony touch.
 
either way i would definitely go with a great bag and great shoes. while i'm not necessarily a believer in a bag makes the outfit, i think in these situations it can convey a knowledge of fashion without being too in-your-face.  hth!

I would do a blouse/button-up with some detail under the suit.
Examples:

And some fab shoes and accessories.  But really the details depend upon whether this company is more conservative or a little more hip.  Good luck!

They're from Bebe, I'm in love with the first one but it is out of stock on the website but maybe they still have it in stores.

I would add a punch or color, detail, in beautiful (expensive) fabric for your blouse under the suit, a wide patent belt over the jacket, interesting, but professional bag, and closed toe pumps (with detail, perhaps, but you want them to focus on you and not your outfit, so I would focus on the pretty blouse under your jacket and the belt - the most detail I would go with with the shoes is perhaps a platform -- you will want communicate you are current on trends since it's a buyer position (I'm guessing))

I would focus on quality, detail, and trend.
