Figuring out what to wear on a daily basis can be challenging. It gets even more difficult when you are dressing for an interview, career fair, internship, first day of work…the list goes on! We hear a lot of you ask about what you should wear (which is great- it shows you’re conscious of having to look professional) but unfortunately there is no single answer to this question. A lot of what to wear is industry based or depends on the situation. For instance for an interview with GE I would wear a suit, no question. But if I were coming in to interview for Abercrombie I would go more causal and more expressive of my personality. Why would I do this? Because I know GE follows a more traditional route and that Abercrombie has specifically indicated what they like to see in terms of dress code for interviews. But what if you don’t know? Well here’s where we point to various different articles that will help you look your best and take the “war” out of wardrobe.
