• Coordinated socks and dress shoes.
• Avoid flashy colours, strong prints and loud ties. Pastel colours are fine.

• Make sure your breath is fresh. Avoid smoking before the interview as
the cigarette smell will remain in your clothes, your hair and your
breath.

industry and the culture of your potential employer, conventional.
Piercings and other visible accessories ear-rings, should be removed.

Business suit with a skirt or a pair of pants, simple and classic in design.

Avoid flashy colours and loud prints. Pastel and dark colours are fine,
but avoid the combination of black and white.
•
No lacy or sheer materials, nor revealing cuts and materials.
