The traditional way to dress to a job interview is wearing your best professional attire, which normally includes a suit and blazer. We will go over ways to dress professionally as well as other ways to dress to an interview.

These days with technology soaring and new industries/businesses opening up, professional attire is not always required now. In the past decade, numerous Internet companies have started and more creative job opportunities are available. Therefore, other ways of dressing to an interview have taken over in the 21st century.

We'll go over both traditional and non-traditional interview attire.

Normally, men would wear a complete suit including dark blue, grey, or black blazer with same color pants; buttoned-up, collared shirt; necktie with simple pattern (no fancy or crazy designs!);  and black or dark dress shoes with matching socks.

Also, they should have no facial hair; a neatly, trimmed haircut; no earrings as well as any other visible piercings; no jewelry, besides a wedding ring; and light cologne.

So what if it's business attire is not required?  You should still look your best, so instead of a full suit, wear everything else listed above besides a blazer and a tie. Or for creative/art-related jobs, wear sophisticated khakis and a solid color sweater with a buttoned-up collared shirt inside. Stick the collars outside of the sweater around your neck.

Women actually have many options when it comes to interview attire.

As traditional business attire, you would wear a complete suit including a dark blazer; white buttoned-up, collared shirt or blouse (collar to overlap top of blazer); black or dark dress pants (a long skirt okay be passed the knees); wear hosiery if you wear a skirt; black or dark dress shoes (closed-toed with heels) that match your suit.

Also, wear light, natural-looking make-up (no dark eye shadow!); the only piercings to be on the ears (and not including cartilage area); only small stud earrings (nothing dangly); keep it simple on the jewelry; have your hair out of your face and nicely brushed; light perfume (if not none at all); and simple nail polish (take off any wild colors!). In addition, do not wear anything that's too low-neck.

No business attire required? Then go with light-colored business slacks and a white blouse. If you have a light-colored short-sleeve blazer, that would also work.

If you honestly are not sure what to wear, it's okay to ask the Human Resources department. Ask them politely that you would like to know the dress code around their office and just want to be sure you don't over-dress. They will gladly let you know. You'll be looked at as courteous.
