<\/a><\/p>\nWhat\u2019s the job?<\/h2>\n
Think about the type of clothes you will have to wear to work day after day, if you get the job (which, of course, you will!). Most jobs in creative industries, for instance, don\u2019t require that you wear a suit in the workplace. So, it might put the interviewer off if you\u2019re dressed like you\u2019re going to a funeral later that day.<\/p>\n
In some offices, Converse shoes, laid-back trousers and a casual sweatshirt or even logo T-shirt are not out of place. If you\u2019re not dealing with the public or clients in your everyday work life, work dress tends to be much more casual. Just remember, once you\u2019ve landed the job, try not to slip into a bad dress routine. If you\u2019ve ever worked from home, you\u2019ll know what I mean.<\/p>\n
If you want to keep it casual, while making a bold statement, style staples such as eyewear favourite Ray-Ban are the way the go. The classic Ray-Ban RX5121 Original Wayfarer style is a winner every time.<\/p>\n

But ever since companies like Google and Facebook came along with their personality first approach, tons of businesses have jumped on the bandwagon. Nowadays a \u2018breakout\u2019 area is pretty much standard practice in most places of work, and a relaxed approach to dress code has quickly followed.<\/p>\n Perhaps the interviewer has stressed over the phone that you wear what you like, and perhaps you\u2019re thinking this is some kind of test that\u2019s destined, ultimately, to end in a humiliating experience. Well, it\u2019s not. Casual attire is completely normal now. And this type of dress code should reflect how you want your personality to be judged. If you want to play it safe, go for a relaxed approach. However, remember to keep colours toned down to balance it out. Dark coloured jeans paired with a relaxed jacket is a good approach.<\/p>\n Glasses should be styled to reflect your personality. If you’re creative and outgoing make sure you wear styles such as the American Freshman AMF0006 Charlie. \u00a0This style comes in three contrasting colours to help you stand out from the competition.<\/p>\n Buy Now \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n A business casual dress code invites interviewers to see how well an interviewee interprets fashion etiquette. But it\u2019s nothing to worry about. There\u2019s a wealth of options out there now to suit this type of dress. As companies have shifted more towards this theme of workwear dressing, it\u2019s much easier to cater for.<\/p>\n Casual trousers can be mixed and matched, including different colours, materials, brands and even patterns. It\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s best to keep prints toned down and away from anything cartoon based especially. Ties aren\u2019t necessary and shoes can be of a relaxed style. It\u2019s important to remember that a business casual dress code still generally means no T-shirts or trainers.<\/p>\n Ideally, eyewear is best in dark colours and with simple design, as not to distract the interviewer too much. Styles such as the Hallmark 3301 are perfect for playing it safe, projecting a modern and stylish appearance.<\/p>\n Buy Now \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n So you\u2019ve landed an interview at the headquarters of a swanky bank and you need to pull out all the stops.
