I’d add a jacket. More polished. It does not need to be a blazer. It could be a Moto or bomber, especially if it is leather. I am saying that a casual leather jacket would be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2080303 Wed, 27 Nov 2019 02:31:40 +0000 Anonymous 2080303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say good choice for a financial services interview, and yes to a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2080032 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 04:50:04 +0000 Anonymous 2080032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my environment , a pastel checked button -up is very preppy . It’s a combination of the colours , the check , the style and the fabric . Preppy isn’t a derogatory term - it’s simply a descriptor . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2080004 Tue, 26 Nov 2019 03:11:03 +0000 Avon Charly 2080004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b>lisa p</b>, why do you think the shirt is preppy?

Smart polished and classic. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079874 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 18:02:18 +0000 Anonymous 2079874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The individual pieces are nice, maybe a little staid for LA, but definitely fine for an interview. I'd personally wear a silk blouse that was less preppy, and add the jacket as Angie mentions. Nice loafers &nbsp;I agree with Rachy though &nbsp;in that it can be tricky to wear such high-end logos for a first interview - it can send the message (inadvertent and incorrect or not) that you might be too expensive a hire (or will be expecting a high salary ) &nbsp;, depending on the company. &nbsp;I''m assuming this isn't a managerial or executive position you are interviewing for? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079870 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 17:47:58 +0000 Helena 2079870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the jacket suggestion - black to match the pants is the easiest, but any of the colours in the shirt could work too. Good luck!</p> <p>BTW, the replies are all in thread ... if you are commenting to someone is particular, the convention seems to have developed to just include their name in bold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079867 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 17:28:47 +0000 kkards 2079867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Avon Charly, welcome to YLF.<br />are you working with a head hunter? if you are, i'd ask them what the general expectations are for interviewing at this firm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079857 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 16:50:58 +0000 rachylou 2079857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s good. I agree with Angie about taking a jacket. If it weren’t LA, I’d say skip the GG-logo loafers, but it’s LA. I used to work for an English banker in the Silicon Valley. It was a rule: no Rolexes, no Gucci, no obvious logos - you get the drift. *Because no one wants to know that’s what you did with their money.* Lol(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079856 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 16:39:34 +0000 slim cat 2079856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all probably depends on a particular place you are interviewing at - your outfit looks traditional ( maybe just right - maybe too much for LA ). I wonder if you do something a bit different in accessories - like grey bag or navy shoes. Or maybe wear "kite' scarf on your neck in similar colors to your shirt ( "kite" scarfs &nbsp;are very narrow, small - could be tied to your bag ). Jacket is good option to have in any case. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079853 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 16:17:05 +0000 Avon Charly 2079853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The shirts looks pretty casual to me.

And an interesting but not distracting piece of jewelry. Sorry to say, but I think that outfit is a little blah...might be okay once you get the job.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-is-this-outfit-for-a-business-casual-interview#post-2079848 Mon, 25 Nov 2019 15:56:43 +0000 Angie 2079848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great.
