Many times people are a little stressed before a job interview, and there are a lot of reasons for that. It's a very all-or-nothing situation, you're in or you're out. Of course, more factors than your clothing come into play, but the clothes matter too, and even habitually sloppy dressers tend to be aware that interviews call for special care.

The way you dress for an interview gives potential employers their first impression of how you present yourself professionally. Even if you look great on paper, if you don't dress appropriately for an interview, you give the impression that you lack respect for yourself and those you are meeting with.

Dressing appropriately for work isn't simply a matter of looking professional, it's also an indication that you recognize that norms and standards exist because there are expectations that need to be followed. There is no denying that one should be judged on their talent and ability and not on your appearance, but dressing appropriately for the situation shows that you have respect for your employer and clients, and you are willing to follow the directives in the workplace.

Your interview appearance matters:

In an interview setting, it can be easy to convince yourself that you don't want to look "stuffy," so you may actually dress down a little, and hurt your chances of landing the gig you want. Your outward appearance in an interview is an employer's first glimpse of your judgment skills. If you're applying for a high-level professional job in an industry in which wearing tailored suits are the norm, showing up in anything else can indicate that you don't know what's expected or that you don't care and you're flouting the standards.

Dressing professionally can give you a boost of confidence, putting you in a work frame of mind. It's even recommended that you dress in work attire for telephone interviews, simply because it puts you in a different mindset. Business clothing has the same talismanic effect. When you dress like a captain of industry, you're more likely to be confident and assert yourself than when you're wearing casual clothes. That's a lot of power contained in a suit jacket, and it's worth having at an interview.

Dressing in the right attire for an interview shows that you're serious about the job and genuinely interested in the position. It also demonstrates an understanding of the corporate culture and showcases you as someone who would fit easily into the workplace dynamic. The hiring manager is using valuable time to meet with you, so dressing professionally is considered a sign of respect for them and the company. If the interviewer feels like you lack respect, you don't stand a chance of getting the job. Making the extra effort to look your very best shows you're grateful for their time and are taking the interview very seriously.
