Preparing for a fashion industry interview can be extremely nerve-wracking, not because you’re nervous about what to say, but because you’re worried about what to wear. It goes without saying that you’ll want to dress totally different for an interview in the fashion industry as opposed to one for a field of law, accounting, or any other conservative industry. But you still need to look professional. The trick is to be unquestionably stylish without losing that professional vibe, so that anyone that walks in the room can and will take you seriously. But keep in mind, you should always dress according to your personal style. If you are dressed completely out of character to impress for the interview, it will be noticed and you will look uncomfortable.
You’ll definitely want a nice pair of shoes to wear for the interview. You don’t have to go out and spend $500 on a pair of Jimmy Choos (although it couldn’t hurt!) but you at least want shoes that look new and polished.
We suggest taking your favorite piece of clothing, the one that best showcases your style and that you’re most proud of, and incorporating it into your interview outfit. This is most likely your most expensive clothing item. Start with this item, whether it’s a nice blouse, a cute dress, or a stylish skirt, and go from there. You can add a stylish cropped jacket (think Kate Moss) to instantly get that office chic look, and don’t forget some trendy jewelry: rings, earrings, and necklaces. But don’t overdo it. If you’re going with a skirt, we strongly suggest pairing it with some pantyhose. Not necessarily nude pantyhose, you can go with black, navy, even forest green. Remember, it’s all up to you. Before you walk out the door, make sure you’re proud of how you look and that you look like yourself.
