What to Wear: Little Black Dress 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 little black dress 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 fitted or A-line cut that skims rather than clings. A matte crepe or ponte knit holds its shape all night without wrinkling.
- A tailored blazer thrown over the shoulders for arrival and departure
- A low bun or sleek ponytail so the neckline stays the focal point
Color and finishing touches
- Gold or silver jewelry for evening warmth
- A jewel-tone bag or heel as the single accent color
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
