Dressing up in a suit is not necessary during an interview unless you are applying for a higher position. While it connotes authority and professionalism, there are other coordinates you can pull off depending on the dress code of the company you’re applying for.
A sports coat, for example, is appropriate when you are asked to dress casually. A sweater vest looks decent when paired with a collared shirt. A blazer adds a sleek feature when worn over a turtleneck. If you are bothered by being overdressed with these cover-ups, dress them down with khakis to balance off the style.
Additional tips!
● Put documents and other requirements inside a briefcase or a leather bag. They can serve as accessories, too.
● Wear a formal wristwatch with leather or link bands.
● Make yourself presentable with a nice haircut, a clean-shaven face, and trimmed fingernails.
