What to wear to a job interview

The safest rule anywhere in Diffa: dress one step more formal than the people who already do the job, in clean, well-fitting clothes you have worn before. If you are unsure of the dress code, ask the recruiter — it is a normal question and shows you are prepared.

By interview format

  • In person — neutral colours, comfortable shoes you can walk in, a simple bag or folder with CV copies and ID.
  • Video — dress fully, choose solid mid-tone colours (fine stripes flicker on camera), light your face from the front and test the set-up the day before.
  • Phone — clothes matter less, but getting dressed helps you sound focused. Find a quiet room and keep your notes in front of you.

Religious, cultural and accessible dress

Wear what is right for you. Neat, clean and comfortable matters far more than any single item, and you never need to change religious or cultural dress, or adaptive clothing, for an interview.

Where does the dress guide come from?

It is Expertini's general guidance for each industry and interview format — the same for everyone who picks the same options. It is a starting point, not a rule; local norms and the employer's own dress code come first.

Do I have to pick menswear or womenswear?

No. “No preference” gives advice that works for anyone. Pick a style only if you want advice for it.

What does the personal AI advice use?

Only the options and text on this page (role, company, industry, format, dress code, weather and your notes). It is told not to assume anything about your gender, body, age, religion or budget. Each request uses one AI request from your plan.

Are my outfit plans saved?

Yes, when you are signed in they are saved to your Expertini account and appear in the Expertini app. Plans from the old version of this tool on this browser can be moved into your account in one click.
