OUR EXPERTISE BECOMES YOUR FUTURE

Women:

1. Select a skirted suit, pantsuit or conservatively tailored dress.
2. Select blouses or sweaters that coordinate well with your suit.
3. Wear 1½” to 2” dress shoes or pumps in colors that avoid making your feet a focal point.
4. Always wear hose to interviews. Carry an extra pair in case of runs.
5. Perfume should be used in moderation – never too strong or overpowering. A fragrance may cause an allergic reaction or offend the interviewer. When in doubt, go without.
6. Use natural-looking makeup and clear nail polish. This keeps the focus on the interview.
7. Do not carry a purse with a briefcase. Choose one or the other.
8. Add accessories to express your personality and accentuate your best features.

Men:

1. The most acceptable colors for men’s suits are black, dark blue, gray, and brown. Suits, including tie and dress shirt, should be properly tailored and dry cleaned.
2. Always wear a white, cream, or blue shirt. Make sure the shirt is pressed.
3. A silk tie makes the most powerful professional impression. Your tie should complement your suit and be conservative.
4. Wear leather shoes in black or brown. Shoes should be shined and match your belt.
5. Socks should be in a dark color and complement the suit. Don’t wear athletic socks.
6. Accessories should be kept to a minimum; e.g., no more than one ring on each hand; a dress watch is appropriate.
7. Cologne should be used in moderation – never too strong or overpowering. A fragrance may cause an allergic reaction or offend the interviewer. When in doubt, go without.

Common Sense Tips:

1. It is far better to be dressed professionally than to be dressed too casually.
2. Do not overdo your dress. Dress for your audience — law firms are generally conservative.
3. If you have a beard, make sure it is trimmed.
4. Remove facial and body piercings.
5. Cover visible tattoos to avoid distraction.
6. Make sure your hair is clean and conservative in color and style.
7. You should reflect the image of the company with which you are interviewing in appearance.
8. Less is more. Keep your look simple until you become accustomed to the environment and learn about the company’s dress code.
