Here's How To Dress For An Interview To Make The Best First Impression!

This is probably the easiest outfit to think of and style when going for an interview. Put on a nice straight fit dress that is appropriate but flattering (feeling confident is so important) and you're set! The best part is, you don't have to go for the boring solid-coloured options, a fun but subtle print or a shirt dress are the best way to be fun yet formal. Pair it with a pair of heels or ballet flats for a more formal vibe, and dress it down for a more casual look with your favourite pair of sneakers. 

If your prospective workplace does not have any dress codes, like most start-ups or creative agencies do, then a simple pair of wide-legged trousers with a casual button down shirt and sneakers is the best option. If you're not sure how casual the workplace is, you can go for a semi-casual vibe by switching up the top with something a little more formal. You can check out our comprehensive list of work-appropriate and stylish tops here. 

A fitted skirt and button down top are a hit every time. Our pick is this dark red tailored skirt whose silhouette is quite chic, and will make you feel your confident best. Pair it with a printed top, some heels, and you are good to go. You can add a pair of gold studs or small hoop earrings for that extra bit of oomph. 

One of our absolute personal favourites, a kurta is guaranteed to be a beautiful, formal and comfortable interview outfit. Ask any of us and we all have that one go-to interview or first-day kurta. We've picked this bright chikankari kurta that will look good on everyone. Add a pair of small jhumkas and kolkapuris and you're good to go. If bright colours is not your thing, an all-white look with a chikankari kurta looks amazing too. 

Pro-tip: For a semi-casual vibe, check out our list of kurti and jeans outfits. 

A saree will never fail you, no matter what the occasion. And for interviews for teaching jobs, these are a must. A simple cotton saree with a narrow border, a sombre print or solid, with a plain or cotton printed blouse are great options and super easy to style. If you can drape a saree easily, it is one of the most low-effort, but high-aesthetic pieces to have in your wardrobe. Pair it with heels or flats, and you are good to go.
