Interview Attire-help!
Permalink Closed

I need your help...I have an interview tomorrow (yay!) and I am trying to figure out what to wear.  I always wear a pantsuit for interviews and I was planning to do the same for this one but I just received an email with directions to the office where I will be interviewing and it says, "dress is business casual".  So now I'm confused.  I can't imagine going to an interview in anything other than a suit but the "dress is business casual" comment is making me have second thoughts.    Should I  not wear the suit?  What should I do?

Can you just not wear the suit jacket? You would still appear very professional but maybe not as formal.

I would wear dress pants, top and then a jacket/blazer that doesn't match the pants, ie not a matching suit. Oh and close top pumps. Good luck!!! What's it for?

Agree with FP: something like - black pants and grey/beige/pinstriped jacket, with something colorful underneath.
Or gray pants with black jacket... you got the idea.

I think you could go without the jacket if you wanted, but I don't think you need to freak out over it. You rarely hear "that guy dressed up so nice for his interview, I don't want him to work here"!

Interviews are good news!

I'd wear the suit, but instead of a dressy blouse or button-front shirt, try a top (like a scoopneck knit, print, etc.) that it isn't as conservative. No stockings.

Or non-matching jacket/slacks, or a suit in a more casual fabric like cotton poplin.
