By Confidence is the best thing that one can wear, they say! This certainly came in handy for Will Smith’s character, Chris Gardner, in ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’, when he had arrived at his interview wearing a paint-stained pair of overalls but still successfully landed on his internship. But would you be willing to test your luck when the stakes are that high?
Well begun is half done. Yes, its that simple. The panel’s first impression of you at an interview, sets the right tone for your the rest of it. This is nothing that a stellar formal outfit and refined accessories can’t do. Here, are the some of the snazziest picks, specifically chosen tofor you to ace your ‘d-day’.
- Formal Shirts
A crisp beige formal shirt that hugs you at the right corners is bound to make you come off as a rooted and unwavering personality. Pair it with a dark black formal trouser to complete the ‘I’m ready to face anything’ vibe.
Light-passive shades could come off as slightly intimidating to many, but it can also be a table turner. Its all about the picture. Pair it up with a polar effortless shade grey or black and see how the much coveted balance is achieved.
- Trousers
‘Wear the ironed good trousers’ must have been a familiar instruction for many, over the years of academic or professional journeys. However, the polished look that is aimed for sits right only with the tailor made trousers that have a sense of loyalty towards you.
Just like the fit of the trousers, the color has a huge role to play in the overall impact of the look. This pair of check patterned navy trousers is all you need for both the crucial 10:00 am meeting in the morning as well as the friendly get-together with your schoolmates.
- Accessories
We all have claimed to have claimed to be great masters of defense by pointing out that one black belt that you had bought from the store next door. After being so handy in playing along with your jokes, all a black belt would wish for its rightful claim in its throne of luxury.
Styling is all about the details. A suave solid black belt will definitely be a great asset to your overall aesthetic appeal. In an era of body fitting silhouettes, belts have upgraded themselves from a necessity to a luxury.
- Footwear
‘My mama always said you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes’- Forrest Gump. That’s right Forrest, it speaks an awful lot about you. So, better get a good one that speaks your worth.
A leather lace up shoe type has been the dream of many, ever since the day they learn to tie their lace. Especially those black pair of shoes that your dad always wore to his office and all those times that you would try those humongous pairs of shoes that your tiny feet could not even be spotted inside and you wish to yourself ‘grow up fast’.
Each layer of these razor-sharp elements Dressing right is definitely the key to being the best version of yourself on the day of the interview but what counts more than that is how gracefully you carry yourself in those defined elements. So, when you walk into that room of judgement, may that be a ‘walk to remember’.
