It's that time again! I've got three interviews coming up in the next two weeks which will decide my fate forever. So I'm gonna try to look awesome.
I always find interview dressing difficult as the whole interview process can be so stressful. To put it in perspective, having one to approximately fifteen interviews over the last few years, I can say that most of the time, no one really cares what you wear as long as you meet the baseline criteria of looking clean, presentable and professional. But-- I hear you say, we are fashionable! We need to look good! And I totally agree.
I find that there are two major interview outfit missteps: 1) being inappropriate and unprofessional and 2) being boring. I think most people know how to avoid the former, and the most common problem is the latter. Being professional is easy, but being professional and stylish is something else altogether.

Wearing a polka dot sweater with slim leg pants and pointed cap toe shoes in a monochromatic colour scheme is chic perfection!
