How to Dress for Job Interviews At Every Age
Job interviews are never easy, and the whole process is daunting enough without having to worry about what to wear. Whether you are getting back to work after a break or going for the job of your dreams, it’s important to have these three key looks in your wardrobe so that you’re always prepared whenever you get that all-important call.
Pencil skirt
Possibly the most versatile garment that is also the most flattering for almost everyone, the pencil skirt is an important piece as it can be paired with sweaters, roll necks, blouses, blazers, or even a T-shirt. We have paired a black Max Mara pencil skirt with a knitted cardigan, finished it off with a classic beige trench coat, printed black and white pumps and a simple black tote.
