Clothing: Make sure you wear a professional and clean freshly pressed shirt or blouse without a deep neckline. If you wear a skirt, be sure that the skirt is no shorter than two inches above the knee. Do not forget to put on tights or stockings under your skirt. Alternatively, wear a pair of trousers.

Colors: If you are going for an interview with a very corporate company, more muted tones would be better suited to the formal environment. Black and dark blue are the ideal business colors, grey or brown are also good options. Pair this with a blouse or shirt in white or pastel colors. But do not combine more than three colors and two patterns.

Shoes: Open shoes like flip-flops or sandals are a no-go for a job interview. Footwear should be either closed toe pumps with a subtle heel or closed toe black high heels.

Jewelry: Stay away from too much jewelry such as large necklaces and bangles, as too much clanging can cause unnecessary distraction. Be sure to only wear subtle earrings. Your watch should be slim and just wear a wedding band or no rings at all.

Make-up: Do not overdo the make-up, keep it conservative and natural looking and just a light touch of perfume.

Tattoos and piercings: Cover your tattoos and remove facial piercings.
