Sorry if this is in the wrong place but could not find suitable Topic. I am hoping in the next few weeks to go to some job interviews. I have not done this, or worked out of the home for over 15 years so need some up to date advice. The jobs are office based administrative posts. I have lost a lot of weight recently so have an excuse to buy a whole new wardrobe but firstly need advice on what to wear for an Interview. Should I go for a smart business suit, or is this too formal these days? What about a dress with knitted jacket for a softer look. I don't want to look dated and really need some advice. I'm 45 . Thanks.

knee length straight summer dress, not bosom revealing with tailored jacket of any color from dress.

good luck.


The problem with some people dressing casual is their bodies don't fit the clothes so they look sloven. Wearing smart good clothes makes you look properly dressed. Play down on accessories and smile! Good luck.
I have done a lot of interviewing, and I am always impressed by neatness and tidiness. I suggest a plain fairly straight dark skirt with a crisp very clean white shirt, possibly with a bit of a trim.
I'd go for a skirt and top with some nice shoes (not sandals), or a smart summery dress with a jacket. No flowing numbers, no charm bracelets, no cleavage.
