Job Interview Questions: What is appropriate causal dress for a job interview?

I have a 2nd interview on Wed for a job. During the first interview I wore a dress shirt, dress pants, and a tie. When I was called to come back for a 2nd interview, the lady said that I could come casual. What would be appropriate casual dress for an interview? A dress shirt and jeans? A dress shirt and khakis? Or should I just continue with the dress shirt, dress pants, and tie?

Some Questions Astute Interviewers May Ask During the Job Interview Process

Recommended Answer:
I would also recommend going with tan pants and a nice shirt. It can be a dress shirt or a solid colored polo style shirt. While they did say that casual was okay for the second job interview, it is still usually a good idea to not wear jeans. Good luck!

Job Interview Skills - How To Answer Job Interview Questions

• When going to an interview its better to be over dressed than too casual. You want to show your possible future employer that u want the job and while the lady did say to dress casual, don't take it too far and wear jeans. Jeans are a big no-no.
  I suggest you wear dress pants with maybe a long sleeve button down shirt or even a nice polo. Khakis could work too. Also make sure your finger nails are nice and clean and that are your clothing is not wrinkled, You wouldnt believe how picky some employers can be!
  I Hope this helped, Good luck!!


• She may have told you to dress casually because the dress code for the job is "business casual" and she wants to see what you think is appropriate to wear to work. Khakis and an oxford shirt or nice polo shirt would probably be appropriate. Don't show up for the second interview in jeans unless the job is yard work.


• You don't necessarily have to wear a dress shirt; any nice, long-sleeved collared shirt should be fine, as long as its in a subdued color/pattern. Khakis would be perfect.
  
  Jeans are a "no".


• Absolutely go more casual. But don't wear jeans. Khakis and a nice casual shirt like a polo. Wear a belt and make sure everything is clean and not wrinkled.


• Don't continue with what you have been doing. Go with slacks/khakis and a dress shirt. Maybe pair it with a sweater over, if you have one. Don't wear a tie.


• I think it is better over dressed than casual,not jeans,Khakis should be ok.good luck!
