What to Wear: Denim Jacket 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 denim jacket work for it — plus a way to actually see it on yourself before you commit.
Getting the silhouette right
For this occasion, look for a cropped or slightly oversized cut worn open over a fitted layer. Mid-wash denim reads more polished than raw or heavily distressed washes.
- Push the sleeves up to the elbow for a less bulky line
- Swap the top button for a brooch or pin if it runs boxy
Color and finishing touches
- White or cream underneath to keep the palette light
- One warm accent (rust, mustard) to avoid an all-blue look
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
