For an interview, we recommend a serious, respectable outfit that stays within that formality range. Most candidates wear nice jeans and a plain t-shirt, blouse, or sweater. People who prefer the formal end of the spectrum can wear slacks and a blouse or button-down shirt. (If you opt for slacks, keep your jewelry and shoes simple to avoid looking too formal.)

The lack of a dress code isn't a free pass to wear anything, though. You don't want to look like you woke up late and scooped your clothes off the floor. Your outfit should be clean and wrinkle-free, and leave the sweatpants, yoga pants, and ripped jeans at home. We also recommend avoiding any distractions: no booty shorts, crop tops, flashy jewelry, or visible bra straps.

Below are a few examples showing the range of acceptable interview attire. (You'll have to imagine them without the sexy poses and Instagram filters.)
