About this video

The Gazette team provides guidance on 10 items to avoid wearing to a job interview, emphasizing that first impressions through attire are crucial to standing out and demonstrating respect for the hiring process. They recommend researching company culture to determine appropriate formality levels, and stress dressing one step more formally than the daily norm, while covering specific pitfalls like unworn garments, wrinkled clothing, casual footwear, and excessive accessories or fragrances that could distract from the candidate’s qualifications.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team argues that researching your prospective employer’s culture and dress code is essential before an interview, and recommends dressing one step more formally than what employees typically wear daily
• The Gazette team advises wearing garments at least once before the interview to ensure proper fit and comfort, and emphasizes that all clothing should be neat, pressed, and free of distracting elements like visible undershirts or excessive logos
• The Gazette team recommends avoiding casual items entirely—including t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, excessive fragrance, and noisy tech wearables—and stresses that your outfit should signal you take the interview seriously and respect the interviewer’s time
