    God don't wear a cardigan! It all depends on the sort of job that you are interview for. Try and work out what other people in the job are wearing. Its all about fitting in.

    Well sorry to tell you but you might have to invest in a nice pair of khaki pants or even black dress pants. Job interviews are crucial as they are the first impression that sets the tone for the rest of your work. Always dress nicely, even if you feel over dressed you probably aren't. A nice flat with a nice pair of pants (not jeans) and a nice dressy/formal top with a cardigan is the ideal outfit for an interview.

    You can't wear jeans because it's too casual. You should buy at least on pair of black pants for these types of things. You can wear black pants with a nice shirt that doesn't show any cleavage or your stomach. Good luck! I hope you get the job! (:

    You are not ready for your first job interview clothing-wise. Don't start interviews until you have a blouse, a nice pair of black flare leg dress pants and a basic pair of black 3 inch heels. These are absolute basics.

    Never wear jeans as it to casual and unprofessional

    you could wear a smart dress as it airy and sophisticated

    skater dresses are fabulous for occasional and casual wear so you can wear it for other days as well

    to make more formal add a loose blazer but you could also go for a cardigan

    you could always go for a skirt aswell such as a pencil skirt and a smart top which could be paired the same with loose blazer or cardigon

    if not a dress person you could go for some airy trousers but like i said never jeans !!!!

    work wear trousers in black can look fabulous and are always a big hit

    idea
