Style Saboteur – You’re Graduating

You're Graduating

If you’re like most students, you’ve spent four years training in the art of slacker style. Putting on a shirt with a collar was considered “dressing up” and T-shirts and jeans were the norm. And maybe you’ve mastered rugged casual, but now it’s time to put your big boy pants on, quite literally.

Now that you’re getting ready to go out in the working world, you’ve got to have a few essential interview suits. These workhorses are the foundation of a wardrobe because they’re versatile and pretty tame when paired with simple shirts and ties.

But don’t let them fool you. Interview suits in solid colors like navy blue and charcoal can easily be amped up with strong shirts, sharp accessories and a healthy dose of swagger when you’re wearing them.

That’s the beauty of building a strong collection of these simply styled suits. Yes, you’ll wear them to nail the interview, but once you get the job, they’ll become key pieces in your office style arsenal. Even if you’re headed to a business casual environment, these suits can be broken up into easy-to-wear separates that’ll get you through almost any occasion.
