I have an interview tomorrow!

[CandiceSucksCandy]

I have an interview for a supermarket tomorrow, and I'm not sure what to wear.
DH is bemoaning that the only suit I have is from the 1940s. I don't think a suit is right to wear to an interview for this job anyway, it's shelf stacking, and temporary.
I'm thinking smart trousers, a patterned shirt and a smart cardigan or jumper on the top and chelsea boots, or heels?
I own a whole drawer full of jeans, not so much on the smart clothes front.
I do have a blazer but I don't think I have anything that goes with it, I used to wear it with jeans and a sparkly top on nights out.
The only dresses I have are from the 80s, evening or tie dyed.
Nicely ironed, well fitting, smart ish clothes will be OK surely?

Trousers/shirt/cardigan sounds fine.

[ThisIsNotARealAvo]

I think what you are suggesting is fine. As long as it's clean, smart and ironed, as you say. Good luck with the interview.

[Floisme]

I agree, trousers, shirt, cardigan sound fine. Good luck, thank you for doing this and take care.

[Deathraystare]

All the best!

[Taddda]

Good luck! (Agreed on the trousers, shirt, cardigan).

[chipsandgin]

As PP said and all the best :)

[RainWoman19]

Good luck 💐

I went for a successful interview at Tesco as a student- I wore a pencil skirt, black knee high boots, smart top, and my hair in a bun.

Wow, I would keep it simple in this climate, don't over think it. If you want you can say that you chose not to go shopping. Surprised that the interview is going a head.

[BubblesBuddy]

Clean shoes and clean tidy hair. Generally look well presented. Good luck.

Hopefully those interviewing will maintain safe distances!

OP I wouldnt worry as long as you're clean and presentable. I live with a retail manager, they have been told to take pretty much anyone they can get, they are overwrought.

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

All sounds fine. Chelsea boots would make me think you'd be better at being hands on and efficient, rather than heels.

[Gloria5]

Good luck OP.

Outfit looks fine. I think as long as you look clean and respectable.

[Gloria5]

Oh and I vote boots too

[Charley50]

Love suits from the 1940s though.

[Taddda]

@Charley50 I was thinking that-

Suits from the 80's would've been abit shoulder-pad-tastic, but 40's stylish!

[Charley50]

Yes, stylish and kind of channeling the war effort.

Years ago my mum and I both had interviews for PT jobs in the same supermarket. Mum wore what she would have worn to an interview for her previous FT role as an accountant including carrying a smart briefcase with her cv in it. I wore pretty much what the OP is suggesting, clean and ironed but low key. Mum was actually much more smartly dressed than the interviewer - she didn’t get the job! I did.

I think sometimes being too smartly dressed for entry level jobs gives the impression you don’t know what the role entails.

How have you got on @CandiceSucksCandy

[CandiceSucksCandy]

I couldn't go

DH developed a high temp and a nasty cough last night.
They said they will keep my details on file.

[Terralee]

Oh no, hope your DH gets well soon
