Depending upon your industry, you may dress in business casual or business professional clothing.
Business casual is between casual and formal. This style includes business dress pants or khakis, knee-length skirts, button-down shirts or blouses, closed-toed shoes like loafers or low heels, and simple accessories.
Business professional is in more conservative settings or industries like finance, government, or law. This style includes well-tailored and tidy dresses, dark-colored suits and ties, neat button-down shirts or blouses, and closed-toed business shoes like Oxfords or low heels.
Learn more about the levels of business attire and what to wear to an interview. If you’re unsure about the interview setting, you can ask the person who invited you. If you are experiencing financial hardship that prevents you from purchasing professional clothing, please visit our Career Clothing Closet.
