Looking smart and sharp does not necessarily mean you have to turn up for the interview in a boring skirt suit. An eye-catching dress too, is appropriate. Just make sure that the necklines and hemlines of are of decent lengths.

Forget black — navy is a highly versatile colour that still conveys professionalism. You can pair a navy piece with other neutrals like khaki, grey and camel.

This is a staple for any interview. If you’re going loud with this piece though, tone it down with a blazer, and a classic skirt in dark colours. Do avoid showing cleavage, and don’t opt for light colours and sheer fabrics.

Pencil and midi skirts are our top picks, and your personality can come through with a fun print or a bright colour. Stylish working women, such as fashion editor Carine Roitfeld, even choose to wear ones in leather to the office.

If the job isn’t terribly formal, you can look smart in a sweater and tailored trousers. Choose soft, muted hues and pair with tasteful flats or heels. Avoid wool sweaters — you don’t want to sweat even more during the interview.
