Job Interview Dress Codes: The Basics
No matter what, you want to look as if you thought ahead and planned for your interview. Wear something that makes you look pulled together and put some effort into small details. Tailored—not tight—clothing works best for letting your employers know that you are confident, capable, and ready to hit the ground running if you are chosen for the position.

Dressing on the conservative side is a good idea for most job interviews. However, if you want to look as if you already fit in—a great part of a first impression—you'll want to do some research. Call the Human Resources department and ask them what the dress code is or go to the office for another reason on an earlier day to observe for yourself what the employees are wearing. If you feel those methods are too conspicuous, send a friend in your place to scope out what the other employees are wearing, even if they simply stand outside the door at lunchtime.

If the normal dress code includes shorts and polos, you don't need to go out and buy an expensive new suit, tie, and dress shoes in order to make a good impression. You also don't want to go in shorts. Step it up a notch and wear a nice shirt and pair of wrinkle-free slacks.

As far as accessories go, pay attention to detail but keep it fairly simple unless you are interviewing for an especially creative job and have observed that employees tend to go all out with accessories. Small hoop earrings, a tie tack, or a ring will suffice. They can make you look polished but not overdone. Be sure to take out any piercings the employer may find offensive, usually anything more than a pair of earrings on a woman. Shoes should be polished and dressy. To be on the safe side, skip sandals
