Actually, having looked at this season MOP have far fewer shirts than usual, so maybe scratch that.

If you want some inspiration for styling silver pieces there's this post on sheerluxe Instagram www.instagram.com/reel/Cynkll3oW3z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The silver trousers and grey knit looks great. They've done a post on their website for the best silver pieces to buy at the moment.

You can't go wrong with a chevron top from Tabatha Webb. They are to die for.

Tabatha Webb

Sadly I don't own any but if I could I'd go for the blue one for day/work with navy trousers and the black and gold for a night out.

The previous post is exactly why MN can be the worst place to ask for advice re. clothes, particularly in the situation such as OP's.

PP - the Tabatha Webb top is hideous. You must be a shill for them as no-one with any taste would admit to wearing something like that 😂

OP - just wear something simple and coherent. If you are offered the job, you'll be given an excellent discount on the clothing, possibly even a clothing allowance too. All you need to do in the interview is dress well - go for understated chic (and well-pressed) or along the lines of the brand's signature style, and dazzle them with your personality, experience and skill-set. It is these things they're really interested in and will get you the job, not your ability to wear the latest thing.
