Office First Impressions: What To Wear To An Interview
With today's economy, it's more important than ever to nail that upcoming interview. But being office-appropriate doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style! Quite the contrary in fact; showing off your signature style on your interview will give them a lasting impression of who you are, and will give you the confidence to put your best foot forward. There are a few trends out this season that are both work ready and wallet friendly, so you can stock up on work attire without breaking the bank before your first paycheck. Check out our selection of interview-ready styles before you hit the boardroom, and get ready to wow!
Pencil Dresses
1015Store is stocked full of amazing pencil dresses for fall, all in fantastic earth-inspired autumn tones like rich reds, yummy chocolate browns and more. Pencil dresses are a great office-friendly alternative to mini skirts too, without losing sex appeal. They are mature, sensual, and super feminine, plus they don't need a lot of accessories. Pair with a quarter sleeve blazer or cute cardigan, and walk into that interview with confidence!
Cardigan Tops
Our two-in-one cardigan tops make putting together your outfit pre-interview a breeze. And after youve nailed your interview, they are a working girl's best friend. They go great with virtually anything; a pencil skirt on Monday, and denim jeans on casual Friday. Plus, wearing lots of layers at the office all day is not just annoying, it can get really uncomfortable if you've got a busy day ahead so these lightweight yet cozy cardigan tops are the perfect alternative. And they give off a great academic vibe with a girl-next-door attitude. To spice them up a little, wear pointed-toe heels or a messy updo to make them a little more daring.
Jeweled Dolman Tops
Believe it or not, prospective bosses take a lot of stock in what your outfit says about you. If you need to show off your colorful, creative side while still looking professional, the jeweled necklace dolman top is just the thing. Great patterns and color tones, plus an attached necklace that matches perfectly with lots of fun jewels is a great way to show your fun side through your outfit. Pair them with something super chic, like black slacks to still show your serious side. Best of all, these tops are great for after-work occasions, so you can celebrate a great interview after with your friends and still look fabulous!
Peplum Skirts
Fashionable, feminine, and super flattering, a peplum skirt is a fun, retro way to dress for an interview. They slim the hips while still showing off curves so you can still be a beautiful woman while showing what a macho power player you are at work to your soon-to-be-boss. The peplum skirt is a very Mad Men style statement, but our great contemporary prints let them know your on the top of today's business game. Printed peplum skirts look great with solid color button down blouses, V-neck tops, or any other basics to really bring attention to the skirt. Hoop earrings or metal bangles really give the look an edge!
Tuxedo Blouses
Nothing says sweet like the girls, tough like the boys like a demure tuxedo top. In bold striped pattern and great girly ruffles, this button down is a total office stunner. They will give you the confidence to walk into that interview knowing you look your best, and are the best candidate for the job. Tuxedo tops look great with almost everything in your closet, but keep the look professional by pairing it with basic slacks, or a knee-length skirt in a solid color. Looking too sexy in the interview is a sure-fire way to give off the wrong impression.
The most important thing to wear to an interview is a great attitude! Show off your own unique style, and be sure to let out that gorgeous smile of yours so they really know who you are. Employers want someone who is professional, personable, and confident, let 1015Store help you be your gorgeous, stylish self! Good luck!
