What to wear to a job interview

This along with the first date is the mother of all impressions, a miniscule slice of time when a potential employer gets a peak at your essence. Especially now, when competition is fierce and the stakes are higher, it is critical that you consider not only what you will say to impress your interviewer, and sell yourself, but also how you will look the minute you walk into that office.
Today’s suit has so many options and variations that it never has to be stuff or boring. In fact, a suit can be quite the glamorous while still maintaining its business edge. I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping your look relevant; fashion is cyclical and you have to be aware of the trends with out being a slave to them.
A streamlined silhouette conveys structure and organization, two characteristics that your potential employers will surely seek in a candidate. A woman who walks into a room wearing a chic, moden take on the classic suit is immediately in the game.
When striving to make a great business impression, you want everyone to focus on what you’re saying without being distracted by what you’re wearing. Avoid too many bright colors and bold patterns.
Practice your interview style with friends, get comfortable answering questions on a number of topics, and always research the company you are applying to. An interview is supposed to feel like a conversation not an interrogation.
