The key to dressing for an interview is to select clothing appropriate for the job you are interviewing for. Keep in mind that the clothes referred to here as an interview outfit are not only for the one on-campus interview. Probably there will be visits to the organization's offices for further interviews, as well as leads that you follow up on your own. On the other hand, proper and comfortable dressing can relief your nervousness and add some self-confidence. Here're some details that may be ignored in your preparation for an interview, but actually, they do counts.

     STYLE should be simple with the skirt falling just below the knee. Avoid fancy jackets and blazers. Avoid designer goods of any kind, particularly anything with the designer's name or logo visible.

     PATTERNS should be solids, tweeds or no more than medium plaids. Women's professional wear need not be drab, but it is always best to be conservative rather than bold. Avoid pinstripes in suits and blazers.
    

COLORS should be grays, blues, camel, dark brown, beige, deep maroon or black. Avoid most pastels, particularly pink, yellow and green. Reds, oranges, or anything considered exotic like salmon or mustard are unsuitable.  Usually it is best to stay away from light summer colors year-round, particularly in dresses.

     MATERIALS for any outfit should not cling, shine, or make noise.

     BLOUSES should be a solid color (white is probably best) and made of cotton or silk. Avoid too much lace, too many ruffles or other frills.

     SHOES should be plain dark pumps with closed heels and toes. The heels should be only 1.5 inches high at most. Avoid extremes such as platforms, spike heels, bright colors, etc.

     HOSIERY should always be worn and be a natural skin color. Never wear colored or sparkling hose when interviewing for a professional position.

     UNDERWEAR is a must. A bra is essential and should firmly hold the breasts and hide the nipples. Color does not matter unless it can be seen through the clothing. Be particularly careful when wearing unlined light-colored clothes because underwear will show through.

     JEWELRY should not be the center of attention. Some jewelry is acceptable, but whenever you have a question about whether or not to wear a piece, remember "less is often best". Never wear any jewelry that makes noise when you move. Avoid dangling jewelry.
