What to wear for an interview in 2021? Suit? Business Casual?
Trying to find out what is the right way to dress for an interview in 2021 . Some friends tell me the "suit" is out and now it's more "business casual". How to tell? Don't want to look too old-fashioned but don't want to look like I'm 25 - when I'm not.

Hi! What does the industry you are applying for wear? Also, and probably more important, what does the prospective company wear? Take your cues from that and not friends who, while well meaning may only be speaking from their perspective. Also, as a nod to the company, find out what their corporate colors are and wear something with that and absolutely make sure you don’t wear something that has the color of a competitor. (Example - Walgreens is blue, CVS is red. I would wear a blue blouse to a Walgreens interview and definitely not a red blouse).

Great suggestion, Dawn. Researching the prospective company colors and what their employees wear is a safe bet. I have also learned in the past to also dress slightly more professionally than the employees.

That's makes total sense! Thank you so much Dawn, greatly appreciate it! This helped me a lot.
