The foolproof dress code for job interviews has been revealed

First impressions can play a key role in the employment process, so the choice of clothing is important, says career expert Alena Chukina.

Chukina emphasized that the image for the interview should not only be attractive, but also reflect the professionalism of the person. The specialist noted that it is better to prepare the image in advance, taking into account the main rule of the dress code – neatness – clothes should be freshly washed and ironed.

“Find out regarding the dress code of the company you are planning to go to. It might be business style or more casual. For men, the ideal option would be a dark suit, for women – a dress or a shirt with a skirt, while the length should not be higher than ten centimeters from the knee,” the specialist noted.

She added that shoes should be clean and comfortable. According to Chukina, medium-heeled shoes in black or flesh-colored are best for an interview, depending on the choice of suit.

“Avoid bright colors unless you are a creative professional. It is better to use neutral colors that are suitable for a business environment – gray, beige or blue. It is not advisable to wear black, as it conveys a sense of isolation and inaccessibility,” the interviewee explained.

The expert gave a number of recommendations that may be useful for women who want to choose a suitable image for an interview. For example, she recommends not to forget regarding accessories that will help complement the image and give it completeness.

“Choose discreet and stylish details that will not distract attention from you as a person. A neat brooch, a stylishly tied scarf or glasses with an unusual frame will be perfect. Jewelry is also acceptable, but it is important to observe moderation,” the career expert explained.

Moreover, according to her, daytime makeup in natural tones without bright accents will be appropriate for the interview, the same applies to manicure. Perfume, as Chukina said, should not be heavy and tart – light, barely perceptible aromas are preferable.
