No matter what your profession, dressing for a job interview is serious business. On-trend workwear can make or break the impression you make on potential employers. But it doesn’t have to be difficult! In this article we’ll teach you how to dress for a job interview so that you impress without breaking the bank.
In this fashion blog’s guest post I will teach you how to dress for a job interview so that you impress without breaking the bank. The first thing is to know your body type, and understand what kind of clothing looks best on you. So, let’s start with the basics!
Hourglass figure (also known as Rectangle):
This body shape has narrow shoulders and hips which gradually widen at the waistline. If this sounds like yours then congratulations because this means you look best in clothes that fit tightly and hug your curves.
Apple Figure:
On the other hand, if you have a rounder body shape with fuller hips then this means that you are an Apple figure! If this sounds like yours, it is recommended to wear clothing that fits loosely at your natural waistline or below so as not to highlight any problem areas.
Pear Figure:
And likewise a Pear shaped person has wider shoulders which gradually narrows towards their narrower mid-section. Again, congratulations because this means you can pull off anything from fitted dresses and tops to loose fitting trousers and skirts just to make sure they’re not too tight anywhere!
Some people view a suit as the go-to outfit for any interview. Although this might be true, there are other options to consider too. Fashion trends change all the time and it is important to know what’s on trend right now in order to present your best look at an interview.
It is important to know what’s on trend right now in order to present your best look at an interview. The most popular style of clothing among fashionistas these days is work wear that’s comfortable but also stylish enough to make you stand out from the rest of those interviewing for positions in similar fields or industries. With new lines coming out each season, there will always be something new and fresh available where ever you buy clothes (eBay, Amazon) so we’ll focus on the three key items that every stylish person should have in their wardrobe:
- skirts
- trousers
- dresses.
Skirts:
On trend skirts are usually knee length or above the knee with a simple and sleek silhouette. Skinny jeans, cigarette trousers, pencil skirts all look great on an hourglass figure as they provide a well defined shape to your body type; however it is important not to wear anything too tight at the hip area so that you don’t accentuate any problem areas for example if you have big hips then wearing something elastic waist banded will do just fine! On the other hand if you’re pear shaped then dresses may be more your thing because long flowing pieces can soften up those curves while still giving off an air of professionalism.
Trousers:
The key here is keeping things streamlined by opting for slimmer fitting trousers that fit closely to your natural waistline or below. On an apple figure it’s recommended not to wear anything too loose so as to avoid highlighting any problem areas; however if you are hourglass shaped then wearing a belt can help define the curves on your body which is more flattering and will also give you some extra confidence at the interview!
Dresses:
On trend dresses should be knee length with interesting patterns, textures (think lace!) or embellishments. If this sounds like something for you then go ahead and play around with different shapes like A line skirts, empire waisted styles – both of these types look great on pear figures because they create balance where needed while still giving off an air of professionalism. On hourglass figures pencil skirts and fitted dresses both look great and can be dressed up or down.
