What To Wear For a Job Interview: Guys

Look 1: Business Man\r\n\r\nHints of sportswear, such as the performance fabric and zipped breast pocket, make this look a progressive take on the traditional suit.\r\n\r\n\u201cYou want to communicate momentum, going forwards, driven,\u201d Incu's Jesus Manongdo explains, \u201cThe straight lines also say sharpness.\u201d\r\n\r\nIf the interview is done in a boardroom, the lighting will most likely be harsh. \u201cPop out the navy with dark brown shoes and the suit's sheen will do the rest,\u201d says Manongdo.\r\n\r\nA thoughtful bonus \u2013 the mix of fabrics were chosen so they won't crease while you're sitting for the interview.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSuit by Acne, cashmere sweater and boots by APC\r\n\r\n\r\nLook 2: Coordinated Creative\r\n\r\n\u201cThis is a look for marketing, fashion or a designer. Someone who moves around a lot,\u201d Jesus explains. \u201cYour jacket is your suit, so it's got to be well cut for your body shape.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhen you take off the jacket, the oxford underneath has a trim cut and suede desert boots communicate approachability.\r\n\r\n\u201cColours and fabrication must be in harmony. My favourites are ash, light pink and navy,\u201d Jesus says, \u201cIf an applicant can coordinate those colours, they are hired!\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nJacket by Oliver Spencer, oxford shirt by Maison Kitsune, jeans and desert boots by APC, bag by C6\r\n\r\n\r\nLook 3: Casual & Collected\r\n\r\n\u201cEven for the casual interview, always wear a shirt,\u201d Jesus instructs, \u201cYou want to communicate that you are well groomed and classy no matter what you're doing.\u201d\r\n\r\nThis look would work well for a more relaxed retail environment or hospitality. Light jeans with a clean hem and the tone-on-tone checked shirt are fun but still respectable.\r\n\r\nJesus says this look is all about the details, \u201cBring it up a notch with clean white sneakers, a sport timepiece and a hint of expensive perfume.\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nShirt, jeans and shoes by Saturdays, watch by Timex
