Is there anything more difficult than dressing for an interview (other than preparing for the actual tête-à-tête, of course)? While anything from a specialist office-wear shop feels a little too stuffy, it will probably be the case that your Topshop party dresses feel a little too..
This season, individuality is key when it comes to choosing your new wardrobe and don’t think that this thought pattern has to exit stage left when you’re dressing for an interview. In fact, surely it makes more sense to express yourself and stand out from the rest of the crown in their 3/4-length sleeves and gaping pencil skirts.
The one rule though? Wear something that fits. Stand up, sit down. Wear your shoes, trial it with the red lip or smoky eye and always put on the right underwear. The thrill of the new might be an exciting add-on when it comes to interview dressing but we suggest you try it all on and wear it for at least 10 minutes, even if it’s just in your bedroom.
