The job interview is a formal situation, so you should dress for the occasion. If you are going to buy an ensemble for an interview, it is better to stay in the realm of the business world: navy blue, gray, navy gray or black would be the basic colors (suits for them, dresses, pants and skirts for them).
Women can wear other colors, dresses are not advisable in colorful tones (red, pink or blue, for example). If you want some vivacity you can always put together a jacket with a more lively tone with a skirt or pants in a basic color.
As for the mens shirts, the safest colors are white or light blue.
Wear for the Job interview: Meaning of Colors
The colors of the dress also communicate. Usually people tend to choose colors that match well with their skin tone or the color of their hair. However, we often overlook that colors also communicate and that the tones of our clothes can help communicate things to our interviewers and other people.
Do you want to know what the colors mean?
- Black: safe option for skirts and pants, and even for women's suits; In the case of men, can be a bit funereal. Avoid excess black: for example, be sure to include a contrasting tone and bring some light. The most suitable are white and cream. Beware: cheap black fabrics do not absorb black dye well and may look "faded". If your budget is tight, black is not the best option. Also, this color does not suit you if you have dandruff.
- Navy blue: possibly the safest color in the professional arena, as it suggests integrity and professionalism, and is one of the most flattering for any skin tone, although it can be a bit dull.
- Gray marengo: very distinguished color. Again, it favors almost all skin tones, especially with a white skirt or top.
- Gray: A lighter gray may appear dull and suggest a boring character. If you do not have a slightly tanned skin tone, it does not enhance too much.
- Yellow: creative, energetic, positive and cheerful. It is not so closely linked to logical or strategic thinking. Use it sparingly: on a tie, or on a jacket or skirt in the case of women.
- Red: this tone excites the nervous system, and that is why it is the color of love, but also that of anger! Red is very dominant, but it is a classic for ties and women's jackets.
- Pink: the color of sex. It is also a very "girl" option, the favorite among celebrities who practice topless, etcetera. Pink shirts for men are fashionable and stop being cyclical and very fast. The intense pink may suggest a desire to attract attention.
- Blue: the color of calm and empathy. A good color to match.
- Brown: it is considered somewhat boring and traditional, with allusions to rural life. It is not very well seen in urban environments.
- Green: soft color, more accessible, currently closely linked to environmental issues. It is not the most flattering for many skin tones, as it can be reflected on the face and cause a strange appearance of dizziness.
- Orange: This color is chosen to create a positive and cheerful atmosphere in restaurants and cafes, but for a job interview can be risky. Roasted orange is safer than loud tones, suggesting an original mentality and an extroverted personality.
- Blue-green: a good "bright" choice, as it has enough blue to be showy and serious at the same time.
- Purple: Distinguished color, relaxing and that usually suits everyone.
- White: clean, elegant, with nothing to hide.
- Beige: may suggest a dull personality, especially if carried from head to toe.
- Caramel: a slightly more intense tone that implies more personality and confidence than the beige.
