INTERVIEWS & JOB FAIRS

What to wear. Where to start.

Choose an outfit that feels comfortable and fits the setting. These women’s and men’s examples are starting points—wear the combination that suits your style, identity, and needs.

Start with the invitation.

Follow the employer’s dress guidance first. Business casual often suits job fairs and networking; a more formal interview may call for a suit. If the invitation is unclear, ask: Is there a dress code or anything specific I should wear for the interview or site visit?

Four illustrated outfit examples, from left: woman in a blue blouse, tan trousers and low block heels; man in a white shirt, navy chinos and brown loafers; woman in a charcoal skirt suit and black pumps; man in a navy suit, pale blue shirt and burgundy tie.
Four ways to put an outfit together. Select the illustration to view it larger.

01 · BUSINESS CASUAL

Women’s example

Blue blouse + tan tailored trousers + closed-toe low block heels.

Make it yours: Try a knit top with a cardigan, or a skirt instead of trousers. Closed-toe flats are an option for comfort.

02 · BUSINESS CASUAL

Men’s example

White open-collar button-down + navy chinos + brown loafers.

Make it yours: Add a blazer for a dressier setting. A neat polo can fit a more casual event.

03 · BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL

Women’s example

Charcoal skirt suit + ivory blouse + closed-toe pumps.

Make it yours: Try a trouser suit or a tailored dress with a jacket. Closed-toe flats are an option for comfort.

04 · BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL

Men’s example

Navy suit + pale blue dress shirt + burgundy tie + black dress shoes.

Make it yours: Charcoal works too. Check the employer’s guidance if you’re unsure about a tie.

A quick check before you leave

  • Check for wrinkles, stains, loose buttons, and scuffed shoes.
  • Sit, walk, and reach in the outfit. Choose shoes you can comfortably move in.
  • Keep fragrance light or skip it. Put your phone on silent.
  • Pack your résumé and notes somewhere easy to reach.

Start with what you have

A clean, comfortable outfit matters more than a brand name. Borrow a jacket, reuse shoes you already trust, or check secondhand options before shopping.

If clothing is a barrier, ask your local career center about clothing resources or referrals.

What if it’s a video interview?

Use the same level of dress you would choose in person, including your lower half. Try the outfit on camera first: check lighting, framing, and whether a busy pattern distracts on screen.

What about a warehouse, trade, or clinical setting?

A job title alone won’t tell you the dress code. Ask whether you’ll tour a worksite or do a practical task, and whether closed-toe shoes, safety footwear, scrubs, or other equipment are required. Follow the employer’s safety instructions.

What should I avoid?

Avoid anything stained, uncomfortable, or needing constant adjustment. Save beachwear, slogan-heavy shirts, and distressed clothing for another occasion unless the employer specifically welcomes them. For a site visit, avoid loose accessories that could create a safety issue.

Do I need heels, makeup, or a new suit?

No. Choose comfortable, appropriate clothing that works for you. Flats, natural hair, cultural or religious attire, and disability-related clothing or footwear can be part of a professional outfit. You don’t have to copy these examples exactly.
