Job Interview outfits
Sharp, confident first impressions.

An interview outfit should be the least interesting thing in the room. Emily's picks stay in a tight neutral range — black, navy, cream, grey — with a blazer, a trouser or skirt that fits properly, and one simple shoe. Fit matters more than brand here, so the tailoring pieces get the budget. Skip anything that needs adjusting when you sit down or shake hands. There's a slightly softer version in the mix too, for creative offices where a full suit would feel out of place.
Across her job interview edits, the stores she pulls from most are Nordstrom, Shopbop and Amazon — so if you're only going to check one place, start there.
Job Interview questions, answered
- What should I wear to a job interview?
- A well-fitted blazer, a tailored trouser or midi skirt, and a plain top in a neutral. Nothing that needs adjusting when you sit.
- Is a suit too much?
- For finance, law and corporate, no. For a creative role, Emily swaps the matching suit for a blazer with a contrasting trouser.
- Where does she buy interview clothes?
- Shopbop and Madewell for tailoring, Zara and H&M for a blazer that looks far above its price.
