Editor Immee: “Always keep the corporate culture in mind. Don’t go for a tailored suit if the company has a creative or sporty DNA – in this case, go for a more casual approach. This also works the other way around of course. Not sure about the company’s guidelines? Create a timeless and flexible layered look: tailored pants teamed with a silk T-shirt and a blazer, for instance – if the company feels more casual when you arrive, it’s easy take off the blazer. The most important thing is that you feel powerful yet comfortable in your outfit.” 

Editor Marissa: “Choose an outfit that matches your personal style, despite the unwritten rule that you should always appear looking decent and neat at a job interview. Wear garments you’ll feel great in, and you’ll feel more confident.” 

Editor Joyce: “I think the best outfit to wear to a job interview consists of timeless classics, yet with a contemporary feel. If you want to wear a blazer, pair your blazer with a silk and lace top and slim-fit pants. If you want to wear denim, go for deep dark blue jeans and pair with a silk shirt. It’s all about balance and radiating confidence.”
