Hi guys! I have a college interview coming up and I'm not sure what to wear. What's appropriate attire for this type of event? I want to make a good impression. Thanks!
Hello! It's great that you're thinking about your attire for your college interview, as making a good impression is essential. Generally, it's best to dress in business casual attire.
For men, this typically means a button-up shirt, slacks, and dress shoes. A tie or blazer is optional but can add a more polished look. For women, a blouse or a conservative dress, dress pants or skirt, and flats or low heels are appropriate choices. Always make sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free.
While you want to look presentable, it's also important to feel comfortable. Make sure you can easily move in your outfit and that it reflects your personality. Avoid dressing too casually (e.g., jeans, t-shirts, sneakers) or too formally (e.g., a full suit or evening gown) to strike the right balance.
Good luck with your interview!
