Killer Outfit - Big Job interview & Presentation

3 replies

Help!

I need an outfit for an interview for a big job & presentation this week (I know!)

I'm 5'3
10/12
Big bust

Current considerations are:-

A cream suit - with a black rollneck smart black leather trainers... (Is this too bold? ) - this is slightly snug

Or a navy long sleeved, long formfitted ribbed light wool dress with gold buttons down the front...

Any other suggestions? preferably on something I can order today for delivery tomorrow!

I'd wear something you can breathe in, and that isn't too warm.
The dress if it's not hot, or trousers and shirt and trainers are fine for the office these days.

What is the material of the suit? It would ideally be cotton or heavy linen or summer weight wool. Not jersey or anything thick.

Are you in the UK? I’m unsure why you’d be considering a rollneck in any fabric for this season. Do you not have a plain white cotton or linen shirt? If not, buy one today. Black would also be fine with the cream suit. A plain linen t shirt would be a perfectly acceptable alternative.

If you are in the UK don’t wear a ribbed wool dress. (I would hesitate to hire someone who appeared unable to manage their own wardrobe appropriately for the seasons.)

Thanks for your input... it's due to be 8degrees on Thursday... so I think both are weather appropriate... but I will be sure to give some more consideration to the nature of my meeting and I could switch up the rollneck for a black linen blouse.
