For an interview, you should dress more carefully than you usually go to work - this is a rule of good form. In addition, your success largely depends on the first impression.
The main thing is that the suit is sitting
The most important piece of clothing advice you can give to those who go for an interview: Choose clothing that is comfortable for you. That is, the suit should correspond to the business dress code and you should be comfortable in it - do not press anything anywhere, do not rub, do not wrinkle.
Your self-confidence depends on how well you feel, how much you like yourself.
Therefore, if you are not used to wearing business suits or bought a new thing for an interview, “live” in these clothes. Walk around the house a bit, stand in the mirror and rehearse what you want to tell HR about yourself. This will definitely not be superfluous.
Business Dress Code Rules
Depending on the company and the vacancy that you apply for, choose business style or the most stringent dress code option - business best.
Business style involves a suit, but instead of a jacket, you can wear a cardigan or pullover of a classic cut. The texture of the fabric should be smooth - tweed and boucle “relax” the image. Choose one-piece suits or suits in a faint pinstriped. Shoes, belt and bag may not match in color, but should harmoniously fit into the overall look.
Business best - this is necessarily a business suit, soft blue or gray shades. Belt, shoes and bag should be the same color. Shirts are pale tones. For men, a tie is mandatory - plain or in a dull strip.
The image for the interview should be minimalistic - you demonstrate not so much yourself as your business skills.
Even if you are interviewing for a creative position, for the first interview with HR it is better to choose an emphasized business image. You need to focus on your creative abilities - play carefully with accessories. Bright details will add creativity.
Color value
When choosing a suit and accessories, pay attention to the colors that you plan to use to create your image.
Give preference to soft, clear colors. Dark blue and its shades indicate the seriousness of the applicant, his determination and sociability. Intense dark turquoise - demonstrates leadership ambitions.
Shades of gray and brown - show reliability and the desire for stability.
Beige gamma is good for an interview - calm and balanced.
The burgundy-wine color, fashionable this season, is suitable for an interview, but provided that you are confident enough, but it is recommended to choose red color exclusively for accessories.
Pink should be avoided - on a subconscious level, it signals a request for patronage and sometimes infantility. Bright yellow, orange, green colors, as the main ones in a suit, are also undesirable - they distract. There is a danger that HR will not remember you, but your suit.
Print
Business style usually implies either the absence of any print or a geometric print on some details of the suit.
Drawing with sharp corners will add dynamics to the image, but if there are too many corners, it can be perceived as a manifestation of aggression. For costume fabric, a dull vertical strip is often used. But with horizontal stripes and a cage, you need to be careful - these patterns are more democratic and not always appropriate for an interview.
Always inappropriate - a floral print, paisley and even more provocative inscriptions or funny pictures. Leave these things for non-working time.
