What to wear for a summer interview?

Not to mention sitting in the interview room can cause you to sweat, but the distance to the interview place can also be hot stew or torrential rain. How to dress up in the heat and still succeed?

Before you get through the employer’s door, you have to survive the summer sun. You don’t want to go to the interview table in a sweaty form and look tired. So try ViralHire’s suggestions!

Elegant for female candidates

Going to the interview in the summer, the simplest outfit is the most beautiful.

You should choose designs with a modern cut and in simple, neutral colors. Avoid bold patterns or colorful colors, too glossy or reflective material. Wearing all white is also a suitable option for a summer suit. For women, white feels elegant, gentle, cool again on a hot day.

– With a skirt, choose a dress of the right length, professional-no shorter than your knees, no bundles or too spread.

– With blouses, make sure the material is not too stuffy, but also does not penetrate. It is important that the collar is not too low. A boat neck shirt or buttoned shirt is simply cool enough but still feels professional.

– Pants: should be short to the ankle and have a fitting shape (not bundled) to create a feeling of “Correction”.

– T-shirts: simple, without sexy prints, many patterns, punctures, cuts or with a low neckline.

– Accessories: if possible, bring only one bag to the interview, ideally the practical form of a business handbag. Wear minimalistic accessories, not too eye-catching. The watch is a smart accessory in a classic way.

– Shoes: avoid pairs without straps that make a splash when walking, or high heels that make a loud resonance when walking on a brick base. Doll shoes, flat shoes, neutral sandals or moderately high heels will suit.  

Exhibition for male candidates

For men, in mild weather, khaki and blue blazer are always classic options. But in the hot summer, no matter what outfit you choose, you need to consider the fabric. For example, linen is notoriously cool and absorbs sweat well, but is prone to wrinkles and needs to be before wearing. The cloth is also cool, but avoid easy-to-wrinkle sets while sitting.

– Linen shirts are good choice, but again: it is necessary to iron before wearing. Choose a classic color that feels cool like light blue, white.

– Blazer: despite the high temperature, you can still find blazer with style and material made specifically for summer, with 2 buttons. They have a simple, less padded style and have a natural, moderately long shoulder. You should choose light colors such as light gray or light blue.

– Pants: the waistband should be right at the ankle so that when you stand, the pants do not touch your shoes. Moderately thin, 4-Way stretchy fabric not only makes you more comfortable, but also breathable and resistant to wrinkles better than completely cotton.

– The tie makes you look more professional, but consider if the weather is not cool enough and the employer does not ask for it. If yes, make sure that the width of the tie is commensurate with the lapel of the jacket. The small silhouette tie will look modern and avoid feeling too formal.

– Shoes: ideally, you go black oxford with 5 string piercings – which emphasize the rest of the outfit. Sneakers, loafers can also be used if you coordinate with the right outfit and the recruiting company is not too demanding on the outfit.

Note to both male and female applicants: make sure that the shoes or outfits you choose are not too fashionable, modern. The most stylish clothes will probably not fit into formal office spaces.

You may be worried that you are dressed a little too formally. Even if you wear a suit to a place where no one wears like that is okay. The first time you appear deflected, it is still better to dress slovenly and be judged as disrespectful to the employer. As long as the degree set must also make you feel comfortable and yourself to be ready to enter the interview.
