whats everyone wearing?

Hi, ladies I know quite a few of us have got interviews coming up in the couple of weeks, so was just wondering if you had all decided on what you are wearing. Most of the girls at my collage are going for the classic suit. but I have decided to wear a dress with nice bag and shoes, I'm just hoping the uni's don't expect you to turn up in a suit, because I just don't have the figure to carry one off being a size 16 a suit would make me look like a bloke hahaha.

(and to be honest i don't see the point of spending 80 to 100 pounds on a suit I would only wear once) xx

hiya

wear what you feel comfy in, you will be nervous anyway never mind worrying about what you are wearing.

i would go for smart trousers and a top, oif you feel comfy in a suit then wear one.

not to much makeup, nice hair, clean nails and claen shoes.

remember 1st impressions count

good luck

I wore a white vest top with pink V neck cashmere sweater and brown trousers and boots for my first interview.

Friday I'm wearing black pin-striped trousers, pink striped shirt with a black cashmers V neck sweater and black boots.

Both times I wore/having my hair loose and chose glasses over contacts. Little to no makeup. Just mascara and lipgloss.

Black trousers, purple jumper and boots for tomorrows interview. Hair tied back and moisturiser and mascara as I don't usually wear make up anyway! Smart but not over the top. I feel very out of place in a suit and am more comfortable in trousers/jumper and, in my opinion I look more approachable which is always a good thing!

I've got my interview tommorw and i was going to wear a suit but then changed my mind as I have to be there for 10am for an presentation and tour of the site and then interviews dont start till 1pm so gonna be a long day. So thought smart casual would be better with a nice bag, so I am going to wear black trousers, shirt and black V- neck tank top jumper thing.

thanks for that girls seems like were all going for the smart/casual look xx

I wore smart black trousers with a bright turqouise top with a white strappy underneath, some people were in suits but i think they looked uncomfortable, unless obviously you are comfrtable in a suit. Whatever you do don't forget your shoes, i drove in my trainers but forgot to take my boots to change into. After my heart almost falling out in the car park stepping out of my car i had to drive to tesco round the corner and buy some shoes!! i had these awful animal print socks on which you could see. It was horrible, but they still let me in. So i think it doesn't really matter as long as they see you're smartish!!! good luck, let us know what you wore!
