Out of the competition: 7 ways to dress up for an interview and get your dream job

Interviewing for a prestigious position can be a real challenge. Surely, you will easily pass the test for psychological stability and prove your professionalism, but it will not be so easy to defeat your competitors. Other contenders will have to be defeated in attire. It is important to keep the golden mean here: on the one hand, you need to stand out, on the other, do not go too far. Cosmo came to your rescue and put together win-win kits to help you land your dream job.

Bright suit

A suit is an irreplaceable part of a business dress code. He seems to speak for you about your competence. But there are also pitfalls here. In one American film, Good Morning, the ambitious journalist Becky Fuller tried to get a job as a producer of morning programs on a federal television channel. For the interview, she chose a dark gray pantsuit with a fitted jacket.

The fact is that this style is no longer relevant, especially when the invasion of jackets with sharp shoulders in neon shades happened on the catwalk. Compared to them, Becky's costume looks pretty dull. Therefore, you better adapt the bright trends of the decade and choose an oversized jacket and palazzo pants in positive colors - orange, lemon or lavender.

Audrey Hepburn and other stars who became style icons

Audrey Hepburn was considered not only a beauty, but also a style icon. The actress herself believed that beauty is not a dress, not a beautiful body and not a gorgeous hairstyle, but what is inside - in the eyes and a smile.

Culottes instead of a skirt

If before the interview you have a dilemma between a skirt and trousers, feel free to put on culottes. This is a very elegant look for ankle length flared trousers. Elsa Schiaparelli herself idolized them. The ideal partner will be a shirt from a man's shoulder, which will help you feel confident in any society.

Clear diopters

Glasses with transparent diopters are a versatile accessory that will accompany your image with an intelligent flair. We recommend choosing "cat eyes" from all the variety of shapes.

Cat eyes go with a square type of face, are optimally combined with a round shape, are appropriate for a trapezoidal shape, but can hopelessly ruin a heart-shaped or triangular face.
