Put together the perfect job interview outfit, with the 17h10 tailor.

The success of a job interview often depends on how you look to the person hiring you. So, when you apply for a job and want to land the position of your dreams, the one that will change your life, you can't neglect your clothes and style, and you have to respect certain codes. So how should you dress for a job interview? What are the mistakes to avoid if you want to be perfectly dressed for a job interview? 17h10 accompanies you in this major challenge.

What should I wear to a job interview?

For a job interview, it's essential to present yourself in an outfit that won't offend the recruiter. So avoid miniskirts, jeans and sneakers, preferring a trouser-suit ensemble that's elegant and sophisticated, and closer to the standards expected of a professional woman's outfit for the occasion. We expect you to be a dynamic working girl with an assertive character, showing ambition and determination in your attire. The ensemble is accompanied by a pair of heels to emphasize how feminine you are despite your serious appearance.

What colors should I avoid in an interview?

At a job interview, avoid bright colors. The idea is not to stand out for your looks or eccentricity, but rather to showcase your professional skills to highlight the benefits they will bring to your future employer. The right women's business outfit doesn't have to be too austere. Choose natural materials and timeless colors, based on a gray, midnight blue or bottle green ensemble, with a white shirt or blouse. Sober dress is better than long speeches when it comes to conveying who you are. Job interview attire allows your interviewer to make up his or her mind about you at first glance.

There's a well-established ritual for putting together and finding the perfect outfit for a job interview, whatever the sector of activity or function envisaged. It can be summed up in one word: elegance! A job in the financial sector or in the civil service is no exception to this rule. Dressing elegantly means showing respect for the person who is giving you their time to meet with you, with a view to offering you a job.

Elegance is one of 17h10's key words, and is part of our values, which commit us to the use of natural, responsible materials. You'll find ethical clothing perfectly suited to a resolutely modern and assertive style, perfect for a job interview.

Here's how to put together your outfit for a job interview:

  1. Log on to our website or visit our store.
  2. Choose your model: Start with the jacket: fitted, 4 or 6 button, spencer or belted, adapting it to your body shape. Add a pair of cigarette or straight-leg pants, or a pencil skirt to complete your outfit and fit your figure.
  3. Choose your fabrics: let yourself be seduced by a pair of Marzotto wool pants with viscose lining, or opt for an eco-responsible fabric made from recycled polyester. You decide how comfortable you feel.
  4. Adapt your cut: Choose your clothes according to your morphology. Whether you're an A, V, H, X, O or 8 figure, we'll advise you on the best suit jacket, dress or trouser to suit you best.
  5. Customize the smallest details: You can ask us to work a collar or add buttons to a jacket according to your preferences. In our 36 rue de Sévigné boutique, we offer tailor-made services, so you can imagine the perfect suit for your next job interview, or any other occasion.
