However, as a teenager interviewing for your guest job, you probably don\u2019t want to invest into a full set of formal attire. And that\u2019s not necessary either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we will share a few simple and easy to put together outfit ideas for your first job interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_to_a_job_interview_for_teens_unisex_looks\"><\/span>What to wear to a job interview for teens: unisex looks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of popular formal and business casual looks that can suit both men and women. Here are just a few ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Button-down_shirt_slackskhakis\"><\/span>Button-down shirt + slacks\/khakis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most positions for which teenagers can be hired won\u2019t require you to wear a suit. This, a button-down with a simple design and a pair of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>khaki pants will be enough to project that near and organized look. It will also give your interviewer the perception that you took the time to prepare for the interview and are taking it seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polo_shirt_slackskhakis\"><\/span>Polo shirt + slacks\/khakis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Polo shirts are a business casual staple. It\u2019s a good idea to have a few polos in your wardrobe for occasions just like these. Depending on what you pair then with, polos can be more or less formal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to spend too much time planning out your interview wardrobe, simply pair a polo shirt with a pair of slacks or khakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shirt_and_blazer_jeans\"><\/span>Shirt and blazer + jeans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fairly effortless look to put together is pairing a short and blazer with a pair of jeans. Yes, jeans are generally not the best option for formal occasions. However, if you pick a classic pair of jeans, preferably in a darker color, and top them with a shirt and blazer, you will be creating a very clean look, perfectly suitable for the occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_to_a_job_interview_for_teens_young_men\"><\/span>What to wear to a job interview for teens: young men<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ideas for what a young man can wear for a job interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_classic_suit\"><\/span>A classic suit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A suit is probably the most obvious option for a job interview. You are likely to already have one in our wardrobe, tucked away for formal occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A suit can indeed be a great option if you are applying for a job that requires daily formal attire. It can speak to your ability to judge the nature of the situation and show your willingness to adapt to the role. It may also signal to your potential employer that you are career oriented and may be interested in working your way up. As the saying goes: dress for the job you want, not for the job you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if the position you are applying for will have you working in a more informal and casual environment, a suit will probably have you looking overdressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_dress_shirt_and_trousersdark_jeans\"><\/span>A dress shirt and trousers\/dark jeans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can never go wrong with a clean ironed dress shirt in a neutral color paired with classic trousers or dark jeans. This is a simple and effective look for an interview. It is less formal than a suit and yet perfectly demonstrates your seriousness and preparation for the interview \u2014 at least when it comes to wardrobe choice. If you want to make the look more formal, add on a striped or plain colored tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_wear_to_a_job_interview_for_teens_young_women\"><\/span>What to wear to a job interview for teens: young women<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_classic_pantsuit\"><\/span>A classic pantsuit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like with the classic suit for men, a women\u2019s\u2019 suit can be a natural choice for a job interview. It shows that you are ready for the responsibilities of a new working environment and speaks to your preparedness for the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_blousesweater_dark-washed_denim\"><\/span>A blouse\/sweater + dark-washed denim<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep it less casual, you can create a polished look with a classic top (neutral colored blouse or fitting sweater) and a pair of dark-washed jeans or trousers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preppy_dress\"><\/span>Preppy dress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A clean button-up dress is an interview-proof look that requires almost zero effort. In fact, it\u2019s a good idea to keep a preppy dress in your wardrobe just for occasions like this. It can save your lots of time when you need to get dressed for a formal occasion and don\u2019t have the time or energy to shop for a new look from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here are a few general best practices for dressing for an interview, whichever outfit you choose to go with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Don&#8217;t go with oversized clothing. While this is definitely a fashionable look, it\u2019s not the best choice for a formal occasion.<\/li><li>On the other hand, your clothing shouldn\u2019t be too small or tight either. Simply wear well-fitting clothes to your interview.<\/li><li>Be mindful of colors. When in doubt, go with neutral colors like as black, taupe, beige, brown, blue or gray. Sure, you can also use a bright element in your wardrobe to make the look pop. But it\u2019s best to avoid colors that are too bright or distracting.<\/li><li>Shoes matter. Now that you\u2019ve put in some time and energy into reading this article and putting together an interview look, don\u2019t let it all go to waste by choosing the wrong footwear. Avoid anything open-toed or athletic. Classic tame colored sneakers may work for both men and women. For men, if you are wearing trousers, consider pairing them with loafers or dress shoes. For women, classic pumps will always work as well as flats.<\/li><li>Complete the look with a suitable bag. If you need to bring something to the interview (documents, work samples, recommendations, etc.), consider putting them in a clean briefcase or satchel. A shoulder bag or a small classy backpack works too.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_avoid_wearing_to_a_job_interview_women\"><\/span>What to avoid wearing to a job interview: women<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-1024x495.png\" alt=\"What To Wear for A Teen Job Interview\" class=\"wp-image-2414\" width=\"800\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-50x24.png 50w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-938x453.png 938w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__-1130x546.png 1130w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview__.png 1408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic rule for what not to wear to an interview is that you should avoid looking too casual. This means not wearing things like shorts, flip-flops, crop tops, flashy sneakers, etc. If you don\u2019t want to wear anything too formal (like a pants suit or a pencil skirt and blouse), consider upgrading the casual items in your look to something business casual. For instance, wear khakis instead of shorts or a polo shirt instead of a crop top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_avoid_wearing_to_a_job_interview_men\"><\/span>What to avoid wearing to a job interview: men<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-1024x495.png\" alt=\"What To Wear for A Teen Job Interview\" class=\"wp-image-2416\" width=\"800\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-1024x495.png 1024w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-50x24.png 50w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-768x371.png 768w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-938x453.png 938w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_-1130x546.png 1130w, https:\/\/resumekit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/What-To-Wear-for-A-Teen-Job-Interview_.png 1408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like women, young men are advised to avoid wearing a look that is too casual for their first interview. It\u2019s best to steer clear of baseball caps, hoodies or jerseys. Instead, consider wearing a button-down or polo shirt. It\u2019s also best to wear clothing that fits you well instead of going for the oversized look. Make sure anything you wear fits you well and is not too loose or too tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_consider_when_dressing_for_a_job_interview\"><\/span>Tips to consider when dressing for a job interview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First, take the time to assess the level of formality needed for the interview. The person you will be having an interview with may indicate whether it is a formal or informal interview. You can also determine the level of formality by what you would be wearing if you got the job. Places that generally require a strict dress code include law firms, banks and other financial institutions, business consulting companies, public service institutions and so on.<\/li><li>Second, it\u2019s generally better to show up overdressed for an interview than to show up underdressed. So, if you are worried about being dressed too formally, it\u2019s typically quite okay to take this risk.<\/li><li>Third, make sure everything you are wearing is clean, pressed (if needed) and well-matched. The goal is to make a favorable impression on the interviewer and avoid them getting distracted by a hole or stain on your shirt.<\/li><li>Finally, it\u2019s not only about your outfit. Your body language, tone of voice and other general behavioral elements also matter during an interview. When answering the interviewer&#8217;s questions, do your best to stay focused and calm. Don\u2019t mumble, avoid long pauses or over the top gestures.
