Yes, the usual pant shirt combo is a good and safe bet, however, if there’s some scope to experiment you definitely should. Of course, while not straying from the usual corporate dressing standards. There’s a lot of options to work with also.

Moreover, what’s important is that the outfits fit well and aren’t out of shape or fit. Another thing that really counts is the rest of the look, you cannot most definitely go with unkempt hair or something like spikes. The hair need to be set and style well in an elegant manner. That really counts. You cannot also have rolled up sleeves or open buttons, that just looks messy and unprofessional. So keep all of that in mind too.

When it comes to winter interview outfits, a good suit or formal jacket is surely a good idea. But you can also do something a bit different while looking formal as well as trendy. If you want a slightly less formal interview dress for men then try something like this. Go for your usual shirt pant and tie combination and add a knit on top. Of course it needs to be a nicely fitted and good quality sweater that almost looks luxury. A lanky loose sweater wouldn’t cut it. Feel free to add a pair of glasses to the mix to look a tad bit more serious and also handsome. Go for your usual formal shoes in black or tan and your look is complete. Most definitely wear your watch, that’s one important element. If you’d like a bag then a nice faux leather duffel or a laptop bag would be the perfect addition. Undoubtedly a nice shave is imperative.

How to Dress Up for an Interview Sharp and Crisp

Easy, effortless and the safest attire when headed to an interview is the pant shirt combo. All you need is a crisp near shirt and well-ironed pants and you are sorted. This is one of the most formal and best outfits to wear to an interview. You can go for some muted solid colours or go for a checkered shirt, both would work well. Of course, your simple formal shoes and a watch are an absolute must to complete the outfit. We would recommend opting for a simple laptop bag with a look like this. Make sure the tie you opt for is nothing too crazy, it’s simple, muted and doesn’t grab too much attention. Another important thing to remember is to tie the tie correctly, or you are sure to mess up your whole first impression. Same goes for dirty shoes! So keep all that in mind.

The Turtle-Suit Combo

If you love to make a style statement on your interview day then go for a turtleneck with a coat. It looks undeniably elegant and super chic while being the perfect professional dress for men. It will surely make you stand out from all the other candidates. It’s so effortlessly chic, you’re sure to earn some brownie points on dressing well. This is an ideal choice for a winter or autumn outfit. Of course with this a tie isn’t an option, so accessorise with your watch. Go for neatly styled hair and a briefcase for sure. For colours it can be a monotone outfit however you could even break it by going for a different coloured turtleneck from that of the pants and coat. Just remember to go for muted options and nothing too crazy.

Basic & Classic

Ideal for anything corporate, from interviews to important meetings, a crisp suit is just what you need. There really isn’t a more perfect option than formal suits for men. Every guy has good basic suit in their wardrobe hence this one’s a no brainer. You can adorn this outfit with or without a tie depending on the kind of setup it is. Either would look good! Some nice squeaky clean formal shoes and simple laptop bag is what you need to complete the look. Play around with black, grey, brown and blue and you are sorted.

Plaid Coats

If a simple suit is too monotonous for you then something like plaid suit is a really chic option to go for. Not only will it make for an interview formal dress but make you look rather good and spiff! If it’s a more formal sort of a setup then opt for a shirt with it. However, the office setup is a bit more gen-z and laid back then you can also go for a solid colour but well-fitting t-shirt or a light sweater. In the latter setup feel free to even go for some white tennis shoes and you are sure to stand out. However, if it’s the former sort of setup then make sure you stick to the formal shoes because there it could cost you some brownie points.

Tweed All The Way!

Experiment with that professor kind of look and trust us you would make an impression. A good tweed jacket with a simple shirt and pants makes you look wiser than your years. People tend to automatically assume that you mean business and are just not fooling around. It’s one of those male blazer styles that sure stands out. We love the one with the shoulder patches. You can even for for a checkered sweater underneath the tweed jacked to keep with that teacher sort of aesthetic. You can carry a long cross-body bag with this and your look is complete.
