Dressing Tips For Different Job Types

It was once simple and straightforward dressing for a job interview

, all you had to do was clad in a suit and tie, shave, comb and polish your shoes and you were ready to go. Today, on the contrary, the increasingly casual workplace and the desire to fit in has thrown all that we knew of a job interview wear into disarray. The understanding of what to wear and when to wear it has now become just as important as the firm handshake and sustained eye contact.

It's even more important knowing how to dress for the different work environments that you might desire to join.

To help you with your work wear decisions before you go out and spent lots of money on work suit that you might not need, I investigated three job markets to better understand work wear expectation and here I bring you the results.

Traditional jobs

Your look will definitely approximate a more conservative image parallel to the image expected for a job interview but that does not mean you fade into the background. Be memorable and stand out by spicing up your suit with a well matching tie that complements the conservative. It helps you convey confidence and responsibility when you're clad in a suit as much as you're giving the recruiter a sense of your perspective for working in a conservative environment. If you're not sure then its safe bet to go for a dark and solid color, proper fit, decent briefcase and accessories.

Artistic jobs

Though liberating, working in creative jobs such as arts, publishing, media and photography doesn't mean that you should ignore the rules of men's fashion. If there's anything to emphasize, then the rules just get more stringent when you try to balance the artistic and often casual nature of the workplace with the need for a professional look. Here a suit may not be appropriate, but neither is going to work clad in your weekend casuals.

As much you may be tempted to a wear jeans, do not. Subtly striped shirts, cardigans and plain front trousers are acceptable options. Artistic jobs are flexible and often allow for wardrobes featuring color coordination and sharp pattern. Checked or striped shirts worn under collared sweaters work best with twill trousers. Sometimes you may feel compelled to report to work in those dress sneakers or high tech sporties but leather loafers or lace up oxford are a better alternative.

Service jobs

If your work is more of administrative nature and "YES" you're still working for the people, then you need to go for something that allows you comfort and flexibility. Here a sweater or blazer over a tie is cool when interviewing for service sector jobs. You'll want to look approachable, well pressed as well as responsible to the public and dressing in pair of crisp shirt together with a nice cardigan sweater and also dark washed jeans will help you look the part.
