Can I wear this to a job interview?

Farrah2025 · 2025-11-11T19:56:15+00:00

Just that really! Interview is later this week, I’m already buying too much clothes trying to cut back I have this and a navy blazer to wear with. Blow dry, leather bag, long black wool coat. It’s a professional advisor role, large international firm

If you don't like suits, don't wear one. Dresses are fine for interviews, so if you like that one, go for it.

Good luck!

Yes, perfect. Suits at interviews mark you out as "of a certian age" these days. I interview for professional roles a lot and not many women come in a suit

Interesting! So curious to see what people wear generally or what the standard is. From speaking to friends in other industries and in this one, it seems a suit isn’t standard anymore for women anyway

Thank you, also this made me laugh 😂 I’m possibly overthinking it, my own workplace is smart casual ish and I’ve worn this to work previously so I felt like why not just chuck on a blazer and get the use from it!

I think the blazer will be a great final touch!

Perfectly corporate and smart, just make sure the cami is high enough so the vneck is not too deep.

That's the kind of clothes women do wear for corporate interviews, people who say it's not "appropriate", what else do people think they actually wear in real life? (genuine question, how do you imagine the workplace? Downtown Abbey?)

Most firms now are dress down anyway I just wear my jeans in the office anyway as do the Partners! So anything more formal than that is interview attire anyway!

AquaFurball · 11/11/2025 21:14

With a navy blazer it will look perfect. 👌

CommanderTaggart · 11/11/2025 21:14

I really think it depends on expectations as per the industry. I really have no idea about law. My first impression was that it looked like a winter-wedding outfit (as others have mentioned, due to the sheer skirt overlayer) although the boots help ground it a bit.
It might be perfectly appropriate for a ‘big’ job though, my workplace is quite casual.

Love it! Where is the dress from if you don’t mind sharing?

It’s from Zara but a while ago now, I don’t see it on website anymore

Nope not appropriate for interview attire.

You can get classy ‘unstiff’ (as you call it) interview clothes that aren’t see-through.

Just make sure the v-neck doesn’t gape/you have a camisole on under (photo looks like it has a v-neck).
I’ve seen too many people showing way to much chest in interviews lately (most without intending to, i think)

Yes, good idea!
