What to Wear: Tailored Blazer for a Job Interview
A job interview calls for a look that's one notch more formal than the company's actual day-to-day dress code. Here's how to make a tailored blazer work for it — plus a way to actually see it on yourself before you commit.
Getting the silhouette right
For this occasion, look for shoulders that sit at the natural shoulder line, not padded past it. A structured wool or wool-blend holds a crisp line through a long day.
- Leave the bottom button undone, always
- Sleeves should end at the wrist bone, showing a half-inch of shirt cuff
Color and finishing touches
- One neutral base color so it pairs with everything else in the closet
- A contrast lining or pocket square as the only pattern in the outfit
What the occasion actually needs
A job interview is one notch more formal than the company's actual day-to-day dress code.
- Fit matters more than trend here — nothing should need mid-interview adjusting
- Research the company's actual dress norms first; 'formal' means different things at a bank vs. a startup
