WHAT TO WEAR: Interview

The end of the academic year is finally here! As the semester comes to an end, many of us college students have started looking for summer internships, that is, if we have not found one already. It can be difficult to find appropriate summer attire for a formal interview. During the summer, it is often tempting to dress casually. Always remember that first impressions and your choice of fashion is very important to potential employers. This Fashionista’s put together look will definitely give her the confidence she needs to succeed in any interview or internship.

When preparing for an interview, one can wear a blazer and pants to dress professionally. One could also wear a dress and accessorize with a blazer or a light sweater. Hair should also be kept away from the face during an interview. It is also beneficial to wear a watch and small earrings to add to your general appearance. A potential internship candidate should always aim to dress the part to attract future employers.

This Fashionista is dressed up in several different colors—white, black, gray and a rose pink. Her black fashion necklace helps to match her black and gold shoes and her trendy handbag. On a rainy day, this stylish outfit can really be topped off with a dark umbrella to complement the tailored look.

One Simple Change: This simple and conservative look is appropriate for an internship interview or any formal occasion. Wearing black pants would help turn this daytime look into the perfect nighttime outfit. This Fashionista could easily wear a nice blouse under her blazer. Now she’s ready to spend the night out on the town.
