Step 1
Choose darker color suits for interview attire.Buy professional, dark color clothing. Dark grays, navy, blacks, and browns are the best choice for interview attire.
Whether a suit, slacks, or dress, always opt for the darker colors. There is proven research that these colors work better for those conducting the interview.
Avoid colors such as purple, red, lime green, and other flashy colors. To add color to your outfit, choose a shirt or tie, but not too flashy. A white shirt is still the best answer. -
Step 2
Wear modest jewelry that doesn't overpower the suit.Avoid wearing flashy jewelry with your interview attire. Although you may have the perfect bling to match your outfit, the company boss doesn't want to see it.
Keep it modest- A lightweight necklace, pearls, or thin chain will do around your neck.
If you wear earrings, stay neat. No hoops larger than your ears. Keep those for another time and place.
Also, avoid wearing too much jewelry. One or two pieces will suffice.
If you have piercings, such as eyebrows, cartridge, or lips, ask yourself this- "Would I hire me for a professional job?" Although piercings have their place, you should consider the job you're wearing the interview attire for, as to whether you leave them in or not. -

Don't forget to wear a belt.Wear a belt. This little detail is often overlooked. Wearing a belt with slacks completes your look. No matter whether you are a woman or man, a belt finishes off your interview attire perfectly. Don't skip this detail.
