Know Your Job Interview Skills



Recommended Answer:
Depends on presentation of the entire look, and also the kind of industry you are interviewing for. It's hard to say without taking a look at the entire outfit and knowing more. But, on the whole, I would say to skip it and go with a jacket and skirt/trouser look. Skirt (I would say no more than an inch or two above knee) would be more formal than the trouser. You could for blues or grays. Black would be the most formal. You can also go for other styles and colors. If you are going to a store, you can ask the salesperson and they will definitely help you out.

Ways to Hugely Boost Your Job Interview Success Rate


  • What I've always been told is to dress two steps above your potential occupation.

    If the job is quite casual, then casual is okay, but dress two steps above casual. This could mean if the typical work environment wears jeans and a T-Shirt, this means you could wear Jeans and a very nice button up shirt, and maybe a tie. (if you're a man of Avril Lavine, or Dianne Keaton),

    For women, remember, light makeup, hair neat, remember to keep the jewelry to a minimum. A watch is considered a piece of jewelry, ear-rings, eye glasses, necklace. Anything that can be used as an embellishment is almost always considered a piece of jewlery. Do not use heavy perfume. You want something clean cut, yet professional.

    I would not wear tights. I don't care if you are Cindy Crawford, they are not very flattering.

  • Probably not, unless you're in the fashion, dance, ballet, etc. industry. But if it's for a retail, sales, office, or a business sort of job then your best bet is slacks, skirt, button shirt, fancy blouse, and dress shoes. Boots are okay if the pants cover them up with the slacks or pants.

  • lol. who wears tights with boots anymore? it's not the 80's. no, i would stick with nylons and i would not wear boots to an interview unless it's at a place like mcdonalds or something non professional.

  • No it's not. Don't give them an opportunity to dismiss you out of hand. Dress conservatively, don't show too much skin, and keep the body art to a minimum. A skirt and blouse is always acceptable.

  • I would definitely dress conservatively such as dress slacks and a nice top that does not show too much cleavage. It is better to be a little overdressed than not professional enough.

  • I can't see why you shouldn't or couldn't wear this, but then again I'm a bloke what colour are the tights? Maybe try heels or flats?

  • you will look more professional wearing them
