Is it acceptable to wear the same thing for a second job interview?

Just that really. Don't have any other suit/skirt combos! Or will it look like I'm too poor to have a proper wardrobe?

If it's a suit, do you have a different blouse to wear with it?

I don't think it should matter at all! As long as it isn't really wacky in some way.

What kind of job? I think many interviewers wouldn't notice if it's a neutral colour and you wear a different shirt/accessories.

If it's a bright coloured dress or something, maybe not, as they will remember that. If it's a fairly dull suit, then it should be okay. Maybe put a different coloured blouse or accessory with it to change it a bit.

I've just interviewed a second interview for a really senior position ( senior management). I really couldn't tell you much about what the man wore - jacket, shirt, tie.

Unless it's it fashion, PR, media etc ( and I suspect if it was, you wouldn't be asking), then it probably won't matter.

On the other hand, I did notice that he struggled to answer some key questions :)

I think I would be fine. Don't do my.mistake and turn up in jeans and a t-shirt because your first interview was on a charity dress down day.

it's a navy suit jacket, white shirt and navy skirt. super dull and inconspicuous.

it was a man who interviewed me too so hopefully that'll mean he won't remember. :) although he is interviewing me again with someone else.

thanks for the advice, ladies. will find another top to go with it.

I personally wouldn't, but don't see a massive issue if the suit is the same. I think the top should be different though. If you had exactly the same top on both times, I'd notice rightly or wrongly and wonder why.

Stick a brooch on it and no one will be the wiser. Good luck with the interview.
