Ten Interview Fashion Blunders
What Not to Wear to the Interview

by a member of FALC

Many of us have not looked for a job in many years and others have had to make changes to satisfy our lifestyles or needed to move beyond the drama that has plagued some of our healthcare providers. It might surprise you to learn that fashion extremes have, over the past few years, have started to move closer to the middle of the road.

Nowadays, if you were to ask 100 people their opinion about what to wear to an interview, the majority would answer, "Dress on the conservative side." With that in mind, here are some suggestions on how to avoid fashion blunders.

Sandra a Case Manager with a St. Anthony’s Rehab past president of her professional Association, says, "Clothes should be a part of who you are and should not be noticed by style & fit." She cites 10 dressing faux pas to avoid when interviewing: 

• AVOID Wild Nail Polish: This tip is for women or men. Extremely long or uncut nails are a real turnoff. Your nails should be groomed, clean and neat.  
   
• Jewelry that Jingles: Don't wear more than one ring or more than one earring per ear. Avoid anklets, bracelets, necklace and face jewelry. Wear a simple conservative and basic watch. 
   
• Open-Toed or Backless Shoes: And mules are a definite no-no. Out-of-date shoes should be thrown out. Guys its recommended to wear loafers, no lace shoes. 
   
• Bare Legs: Wear stockings, even in humid summer weather. Stockings can be in neutral colors. 
   
• Out-of-Date Suits: These have lapels that are too wide (three inches or more) or too narrow (one inch or less). A good tailor can alter lapels. The style for men's jackets is full-body and looser. Double breasted and 3 piece suits are out. Always unbutton jacket when sitting, and button when standing. Do not wear shorts or business casual slacks and dress shirt. Always wear suit & tie. Guys wear gray, navy or black. No beige, no white, no clue..
• Short Skirts: Hemlines should not be worn more than 2.5 inches above the knee. Don't wear capri pants or leggings to the interview. 
   
• Leather Jackets for Men or Women: Even leather blazers are not good for interviewing purposes. They look like outerwear and inappropriate. 
   
• Turtlenecks for Men: A tie is preferable, at least in the first go-round. At the very least, wear a collared shirt and a clip on tie if you cannot manage a regular tie. Make ABSOLUTELY sure your shirt and pants are pressed. The only wrinkles noticeable wrinkle should be the ones on your body.
•  
• Printed or Trendy Handbags: Purses should be conservative and inconspicuous, no fanny packs. Guys keep your wallet in your jacket pocket not in your pants. 
   
• Red Briefcases: Briefcases, purses and shoes should all be conservative in color (black, brown, burgundy) and in good condition.
• CELL PHONES: We know you are very important, but leave the phone in the car. Do NOT bring it into the interview.

Conservative colors in various shades of navy blue and gray are best. Wearing black to the interview could be viewed as too serious. If you do wear black, make sure that there is another color near your face to soften the look. Brown is still considered questionable as a business color in clothing and probably should be avoided. Change your outfit's look for a second interview by wearing a different color blouse, shirt, scarf or tie.

An interview is not the place to make a fashion statement, make sure that your blouse does not show to much frontage and use the opportunity to look great which will restore your confidence. If you are applying for a career opportunity in the Arts Field, then you want cutting edge attire found in Maxim and GQ. Everyone else should opt for a conservative look. "More and more companies are returning to traditional professional attire.

Whatever you wear should accent the fact that you're a professional who's ready to get to make a commitment on a career toward your new future. Let common sense guide you and it should be easy to avoid fashion blunders that could damage your chances of getting to the next level in the process. In this market, it is essential that you look good and your appearance is right for the job.
