Creative job interview outfit
What should you wear to your job interview in the creative field? A suit always sounds like a good idea, but in this case it would not be your best outfit choice. Arriving for a creative interview in a suit would mean that you aren’t well versed in a creative industry. I could give off the impression that you are stuffy, not innovative and in general just not creative. It’s important that your creative job interview outfit radiates creativity and at the same time professionalism.
Here are tips for your next creative job interview outfit.
Dressing approach for your next job interview in the creative field
A creative work environment mostly maintains a business casual dressing approach. So appearing for your job interview in jeans and a t-shirt would not be that rare. However, you also want to make a good first and lasting impression and stand out from the other candidates.
A good dressing approach is a mix between formal and casual items, neutral and bright colours and/or plain items and prints. It will keep your outfit in balance, professional and interesting.

Incorporating a blazer is always a good idea. Mix it with a more trendy item or an item in a trendy colour and/or fabric. This silk dress in the trend colour tangerine is a good example. Moreover, studies showed that orange is one of the best colours to wear to a job interview. It messages happiness, courage, success, enthusiasm and energy. Blue is the second best colour. So implementing a navy blazer gives the outfit not only a corporate vibe, but also makes it a colour combination for success. Moreover, the military style gives it also a trendy yet stylish look.
