Is this outfit TOO much for a retail interview?

[BigBrothersLittleSistee]

I have an interview next week, although I have some retail experience it's not really my work background.
And the retail job I had before I didn't really have a proper interview as such.

Is this outfit too much?

TIA x

I agree. However… this last outfit would look much better if you tucked in your shirt. The low bun is a good idea.

This is not an interview outfit. I would also wear tights to cover the leg tattoo.

Outfit looks fine, tights & a cardigan would compliment it nicely.

To be honest, the interviewer should be interested in your experience rather than what you are wearing.

Good luck 🤞🏾

She’s wearing trousers now . Keep up 🤣

It’s definitely too much if you’re going for the job at the works. Just a blouse and trousers is fine

People really suggesting black trousers and white shirt like they’re back at secondary school 😂 second outfit is a winner OP!

@BigBrothersLittleSistee The second outfit is fab, and I would prefer the tucked in look 👌 Blazer would be nice but not essential.

Best of luck with the interview! 🙌🏻

You look great in both outfits but the second one is more suitable for an interview. Just picking up on something you said upthread - the assistant in our local branch has the most amazing hair - when I went in last week it was turquoise. I always tell her how lovely it is.

Cropped leggings revealing tattoos are never good, and definitely not at a job interview.

Love the shirt outfit! Looks better tucked in I think. I don't think a blazer is necessary, unless really cold!

The second outfit is fine for an interview OP, good luck with it.

To all those saying that the first outfit is like a night out outfit, what on earth are you all wearing on a night out?!

Good job nobody hasn't worn them or suggested them here then isn't it 🙄

2nd outfit looks nice.

Definitely don't need a blazer. Unless you are going for management position.

I've been invited for an interview for somewhere else on the same day after my the works interview!! 😬
Its a clothes store, so I feel a lot better about the trousers and blouse combo now 😀

A blazer would look nice with the second outfit. It would also make a good first impression - you could always take it off once the interview gets started.

second outfit is perfect! it says ‘i’m smart and professional, but also practical and ready to lift boxes etc if necessary’ 😀the first outfit is lovely too but maybe save for a more dressy occasion.
Good luck!

Second blouse much better. Good luck with your interviews!

How did you get on OP?

You look lovely, but the top is a bit too 'out with the girls Friday eve' vibes. Maybe tone the top down to a white blouse or add a black jacket or something? Just mu honest opinion.

You need to read the updates!

I realised after I posted 🤦‍♂️ my bad!

@CandyLeBonBon I feel like the works interview went really well, and I think it couldn't have gone better tbh!
The other interview, I'm not sure how i feel about that one, I don't think it went too good.

Still not heard anything back.. playing the waiting game now 😬😬

Best of luck with the outcome! 🤞

Ah, best of luck @BigBrothersLittleSistee 🤞keep us updated!

Fingers crossed for you, the waiting is the worst bit.

FWIW the outcome of the interviews will have nothing to do with the outfit you wore. I worked in retail for years and trust me you would have been better dressed than 99% of the candidates! I worked in quite a fancy shop and we routinely had people turning up in joggers and trainers, if the joggers were black we had to consider it a win!
