What to Wear for a Job Interview

In a world where first impressions count, your interview attire isn’t just clothing—it’s your first statement of success. Dressing sharp sets the tone before you even speak. Here's how to own that room, Collars & Co. style.

The Power of a Dress Collar Polo

Let’s be real—confidence is key, and a Dress Collar Polo says “polished, but not trying too hard.” It’s perfect for a job interview that straddles professional and business casual. Pair it with tailored trousers for a sharp, refined look that commands attention without overdoing it. Crisp, versatile, and stylish, it shows you’re a man who understands the balance between tradition and innovation.

Classic Layering with a Quarter Zip

If the season calls for layering, a Quarter Zip is your best friend. Slide one over a button-down or a Dress Collar Polo to create a look that’s sophisticated yet relaxed. It adds depth to your outfit while showing you’ve mastered the art of practical elegance. Bonus? If you’re interviewing at a high-end, yet laid-back office, this keeps you looking sharp while staying comfortable.

Mastering the Suit Game

Some interviews demand a suit. For those moments, keep it sharp, fitted, and minimalistic. The goal is to let your confidence do the talking, not your clothing. Pair a tailored suit with a Dress Collar Polo for a modern twist, or stick to a crisp button-down shirt. Either way, fit is key. A well-tailored suit says you mean business—literally.

The Finishing Touches

Accessories should always be subtle but impactful. A simple watch and leather belt can tie the entire outfit together. Skip anything too flashy or bold—after all, you’re the star of the show, not the accessories. A pair of polished, leather loafers or Oxfords elevates your look and subtly tells the interviewer you pay attention to detail. Whether you’re dressing up with a suit or down with a polo, make sure your footwear exudes confidence and class.

Lean into Confidence

Remember, dressing for a job interview isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good. When you’re confident in your outfit, you walk in with the mindset of someone who’s already gotten the job. The key? Tailored pieces, refined touches, and a look that balances classic style with modern ambition. After all, success is never a question of if—it’s about when.
