Wear clothes that you wear in real life
Rather than having one suit that you only pull out of your closet for interviews, choose to interview in an outfit that you'll actually be comfortable wearing. If you aren't comfortable in a professional suit, the odds aren't good that you'll be comfortable working in an environment that you'd routinely be required to wear a suit. Furthermore, image artist Sarah Shah suggests that wearing inauthentic clothing can make your interviewer uncomfortable: "If your clothes aren't authentic, then you don't feel like yourself, and you won't be yourself. You can't be yourself when you are dressed up like someone else. The interviewer will actually feel the disconnect and that feeling will become distrust of you."
