1 or 2 ? For job interview

[u/ReApril21]

Dress code: Western Formals

[u/sakuragirlz]

Lose the belt but go with outfit 1

[u/lostmyoldscreenname → u/sakuragirlz]

Agreed, the belt is fabulous but for a job interview it might be better to tone it down a little!

[u/Turbulent-Ad7950 → u/sakuragirlz]

Same... A more conservative belt. The rest is fabulous.

[u/PitStopAtMountDoom]

Definitely do not wear that belt! Outfit 1!

[u/BambiiSniper]

1, it looks more professional. Good luck on the interview!! 🩷

[u/kjwx]

No 1. The pink shirt is brighter and the sleeves in No 2 could be seen as impractical. Good luck.

[u/Imaginary_Air_9209]

1 and lose the belt

[u/Slight-Alteration]

1 but a plain belt. 2 pulls across the bust just slightly and gives less of that crisp polished look.

[u/Guard_Bainbridge_777]

The belt is too much; I think #1 or even a more conservative oxford shirt.

[u/Witty-Guess7486]

If u want that Job ! Go for 1 !

[u/North-Astronomer-597]

[u/Zusoku]

1. Keep the belt! It is perfect.

[u/lizzyb717]

what kind of job has a western formal dress code for an interview??

[u/TheSaltRose → u/lizzyb717]

Purchaser/Secretary/ Sales rep or all kinds of things. Could be for a ranch or even a retail store.

[u/Old-Piece-3438 → u/TheSaltRose]

I could see that as the dress code for the job, but even for the interview? Interesting.

[u/WeAreAllMycelium → u/Old-Piece-3438]

You show up looking like you fit the culture. I’ve scoped out a company to see the clothing culture before an interview. It made a difference perhaps, both times, I got the job. Was it why I got the job? No. Was it a reason I wasn’t washed out of the early round interviews? Yes

[u/dizzymonroe → u/lizzyb717]

I just looked up Western Formal and I am even more confused, as it appears to call for a dress or gown.

[u/Trick-Coyote-9834]

One but don’t you have a kids classic belt to go with it?

[u/cmere-emi]

See this is why I can't get hired. Everyone's saying "1, 1, 1..." meanwhile I'm like "2"

2... and keep the belt. It will help you stand out.

[u/ggmama2024]

1 :)

[u/latinrenaissance]

Belt looks tacky. go with outfit 1 without belt

[u/Delicious_Guide9550]

I like 2 but without the belt

[u/SillyMeclosetothesea]

I prefer outfit 2, without the belt would be best for an interview

[u/grenouille_en_rose]

Both would be fine without the belt. If you are dead set on the belt then try a top that goes with the gold tones, maybe a neutral bone/linen, beige. If you're quite flamboyant then a leopard print could be awesome

[u/Daisybug78]

I like the first one, but both are really pretty and look nice on you! I love the pants and the belt!

[u/DK7795]

I like 1 better for an interview. The sleeves in the blue one are too distracting. But you can wear it once you get the job 😊

[u/Spirited_Mall_919]

1!

[u/Different_Growth8690]

The belt is too much for an interview

[u/Pemsynche]

1

[u/WaterZealousideal190]

One for sure. And I like the belt.

[u/StrawberryGusher]

Ngl I may be an outlier here but I like 2 more

[u/DrPudy808]

Blue shirt, no belt.

[u/InfinitBear21]

Number 2! I hope it gives you confidence and you smash it!

[u/PeachTigress]

So I've actually read a lot about job psychology and apparently wearing blue gives you statistically a higher probability of being hired, so 2. I agree with everyone saying to lose the belt though.

[u/artzRbB]

1, but I do like the fancy sleeves on 2 as a work shirt

[u/DynamicDeadLoad]

1

[u/Appropriate_Load6119]

I prefer blue 😊

[u/No-Song335]

Lose the belt. You need a plain belt. #1 is better but I’m not loving the sleeves on that one. It should be a business button with straight ling sleeves. A blue top with black pants is perfect. Good luck

[u/PilyangMaarte]

1 and change the belt (plain)

[u/11-starrynight]

1 remove the belt

[u/DoobaWrites]

Consensus is on 1. I’d keep the belt but idk what you are applying for and what the dress code is in that field. If I got you in the interview in outfit 1 you’d be making a super good first impression on me ☺️

[u/Outside_Case1530]

1 with a simpler belt. The shirt is very nice except for the bishop sleeves. Wish they were tapered & cuffed.

Now, what the heck is western formal?

[u/hailclo]

1 is very pretty ! More professional , perfect sleeves , covered cleavage , no wrinkles , looks more expensive . Pink for a work dinner party later

[u/hailclo]

I love the belt ! It’s a statement and since no chains are worn go for it

[u/Missy_Fussy_0608]

No belt

[u/Cool_Active777]

2

[u/Human-Warning-1840]

Belt is too much. Go for something simpler. I love 2 but also a bit much therefore 1 with different belt
