That’s the problem with the comments here saying that an interviewer who is distracted by neon/bright blouses is the one with the problem. I get that neutral colors are boring-but neutrals/pastels are the way to go for an interview. Yes, but that’s not unique to a dress/jacket combo. Pants/jacket, skirt/jacket… all need to coordinate completely.
Don’t: Rent
I’d say 95% or more of our candidates wear a traditional skirt or pants suit. Actually I’m not sure I can recall ever interviewing someone who didn’t wear a traditional suit. That’s not to say you can’t get away with this dress + blazer thing, but you will definitely NOT be overdressed or look like you’re trying to hard in a traditional suit. Assess the office before you go sleeveless.
Women in the United States who were involved in dress reform in the 1850s found themselves the center of attention, both positive and negative. By 1881, the Rational Dress Society had formed in reaction to the restrictive dress of the era. Emily Post training and consultation services are available for groups, businesses and individuals.

Perfect for those colder winter months, this long-sleeved turtleneck dress is just the thing to pair with a thick, though plain wool coat. This style coat has a draping effect and the length coordinates well with the midi-length frock. Two things to keep in mind when going for a look like this. A sleek party look can incorporate a satin slip dress with a moto jacket. The blend of edgier pieces with the soft femininity of the dress is truly iconic and one that you can rock for a variety of occasions.
For example, I had a recent interviewee wear a blazer and skirt instead of a suit, and didn’t wear hose. Not OK because it distracted me from what she was saying . The same story about someone who wore a bright orange shell under her suit. She didn’t have the qualifications, but I knew that from the minute she walked in the door. I agree – finding a blouse that sits right and doesn’t gape and a skirt that doesn’t turn around seems like quite the task sometimes. I feel like a sheath dress that fits right is less likely to have wardrobe malfunctions.
Freshen Up Your Formalwear
At the end of the day though, if wearing the sheath dress is going to make you feel anxious, don’t do it. If you think you can own it, by all means rock it. That said, I work for a state agency and before that worked for a mid-size firm, not one of the “big and formals.” Still, I’m generally the most formally dressed person in the room. But I detest pant suits and my height and width combined make skirt suits generally look frumpy without significant tailoring.
An easy way to elevate a simple shift-dress-and-flip-flops outfit is by adding a shawl and a pair of statement earrings. It’s a laidback but chic look, perfect for dinner on the veranda on a cool night. Picking the right jacket for a maxi dress is pretty easy.
Black Tie: The Key Pieces

This look works really well under a jacket or coat. If you are wearing a dress that doesn’t pull in at the waist or under the bust, consider a belt or a tie to cinch the waist.
Just be sure to choose something in a wool or wool blend, preferably with a little stretch so it doesn’t wrinkle when sitting. Whether casual or dressy, black shoes are a perfectly good combination with jeans. This holds true particularly if you’re out on the town for a casual dinner and drinks. Keep in mind that the dressiness of the jeans should dictate the dressiness of the shoes.
