What are some good university interview outfit ideas?

I've got a university interview coming up and I'm wondering what's appropriate to wear. I'd like to make a good impression but also be comfortable. What are some outfit ideas?

Considering that first impressions often count at interviews, it's important to dress appropriately. At the same time, you want to feel comfortable and authentic.

For men, a good option can be a well-fitted pair of trousers or khakis, along with a dress shirt or a plain button-up shirt. This is a semi-formal look that is often enough for a university interview. A tie is optional, some might find it too formal, but it could be a good addition if you want an extra touch of professionalism. A solid color or simple pattern is a good choice for a tie. Closed-toe shoes, such as loafers or dress shoes, would work well for footwear.

For women, you could wear dress pants or a knee-length skirt, along with a blouse. Avoid plunging necklines or overly tight clothing. A dress can be a good choice too, as long as it's knee-length and not flashy or overly casual. Neutral or subtle colors are usually a safe bet. Closed-toe shoes such as flat pumps or loafers would be acceptable. Little to no heel is usually best.

If the weather is cold, a neat jacket, or a sweater or cardigan can be added to both men's and women's outfits.

Remember to keep your outfit simple. Avoid overly loud colors, big logos, or distracting patterns. Your clean and neat appearance is what counts. As for accessories, they should be minimal.

Last but not least, make sure your clothes are clean and ironed! It's natural to be nervous for a university interview, but wearing something you feel good and confident in can help you feel more prepared.

Good luck with your interview!
