Dressing for work in the days of old While many recent graduates and job changers may not have had to don a suit to secure an interview , think back to the pre-pandemic days of interviewing for your very first internship or job. I scale my attire from the waist up depending on the audience of the meeting.”
It would seem that professional and smart attire is back in fashion. For example, and this is in fundamental terms, I dress to impress when I have an interview or a big meeting and if I am feeling a bit rubbish or having a fat day I’ll wear black or something inconspicuous. Consider: Keep every piece of clothing you’ve ever owned.

After reading the story, I remembered an interview I once had about the same subject with an employer who was clearly frustrated with the situation. The boss took the employee aside to tell him his attire was not appropriate for the workplace, even if the attire was casual. On his feet: black dress shoes. he questioned.
For my entire career I've been dressing up the same way for a job interview in Hollywood. When I was interviewing to work for a Chairman/CEO as his office Executive Hostess where I greeted clients, served beverages, and was in charge of catering for office functions, I was told what to wear by the girl I was replacing.
A long time ago I blogged about what to wear since I was interviewing for non-corporate roles or companies. What throws me off more is when I interview for senior management at a very atypical company. As you may know, my standard interview outfit for being a CEO’s assistant is an all black suit with pointy heels in black.
I had the happy privilege of interviewing many attendees on the red carpet, and it was so much fun. The open bar on the Outside Terrace was overflowing with attendees dressed in sparkling party and cocktail attire. Hey, beautiful!” Smile for me, baby!”. There was a lot of red lipstick!
However, I will say that I’ve worked for CEOs and if they were gone, out of the country for winter holiday so we were 100% certain they would not see us, me and other assistants dressed in a loose-fitted sweatpants/shirt set or gym clothes. They were not old, grubby, smelly, or stained clothes - just very lounge-y comfortable clothes.
