Hey fashion lovers, I have an interview on February 5th. I need help with picking outfits so please help. It is winter so no short skirts please. Pics would help.

But tbh you can't go wrong with jeans, a blouse and a blazer.

Depends on the job, I just interviewed 16 people, if you showed up in any of the above outfits or jeans I wouldn't have given you much consideration.

I would stick with neutral colors, I have heard that is more professional.

I agred with Kelly, I wouldn't think outfits shown would do justice. You definitely wouldn't want to wear leggings..

I would recommend a suit, regardless of the job, a suitable pair of slacks, a blazer, and a blouse (not low cut or bright), make sure you are well groomed, including nails.

Well depending on the job. If it's a fast food place like McDonalds then you want to go causal not to fancy but if it's for an office etc.you would want to wear something more professional.

Thanks everyone!

Diana, I respectfully disagree, I have had this conversation many times with my peers and employees, dressing in business attire is ALWAYS appropriate regardless of the job.

Sorry meant always appropriate for a job interview. Didn't mean for everyday, that depends in the job after you are hired.

Oh yeah sorry when I posted those outfits I had in mind a casual job haha probably not the best choices if youre applying for a big company.

I agree with Kelly, I'm in banking and I expect a candidate to look professional. a suit is best but a cute pair of pants and jacket or a dress would be good too.

I've had girls show up with their cha chas hanging out for interviews and I'm done at that point, doesn't matter what the resume looks like.

@kelly I'm just going based on what I've been learning in my life management class. You wouldn't want to be overly dress with a pencil skirt, high heels, fancy blouse etc. I agree with being well groomed and polished but I don't know, it's just what I've been learning.

I know Diana, but there is "over dressed" and professionally dressed, a suit really is always the way to go, unless the job is a skilled labor (construction, electrician, etc..) Even a casual job you need to present a professional appearance, an employer wants to see a responsible, motivated, promotable person regardless of the entry level.

I agree with alex, go with a basic button up white blouse and dress pants. Or even a suit. No jeans no cleavage ( I work full time in an office ) lol!
