I would accept you

I was expecting a super colorful suit when I opened this up.

Yeah that looks fine

aw yiss. do you think the dress cuts off a little too high? I tried it on yesterday and it hits ~2 inches above my knee. Kind of like on this model (see below), but like an inch higher. As long as I stick to low heels, it should be ok, right?

I don't see any issue with it as you describe.

A good rule of thumb I've found is, if you wouldn't feel comfortable seeing your mom in it, then don't wear it to a professional setting.

I think both of those suits look fine, but i'll ask the fashion expert adcoms for more careful input @LizzyM @gyngyn @Catalystik

Hey there,

I wanted to take advantage of the Nordstrom anniversary sale to purchase my interview suit. I usually never spend more on ~$10-30 on any clothing item, so this will be an opportunity to splurge!

I was drawn to this dress suit (see below), but was worried that the color/fabric might be a little too...bright? Adcoms, would this be appropriate for interviews?

The color is fine as long as the material is not as shiny as it appears here.

The color is fine as long as the material is not as shiny as it appears here.

I'm always curious to know a few general fashion rules of thumb (like the shiny one you mentioned). Would be a very useful collection!

 

[LizzyM]

I think that it is fine but I am the most laissez-faire adcom when it comes to clothing choices for interview.

The shininess makes it a little prom dressy/formal evening weary.

Butttttt, wearing something that makes you feel comfortable and powerful can be a huge mental help for your interviewing game. So maybe a little bit of shininess is okay.

I would get an ill fitting off the rack black suit just in case

Dark blue is the new bright.
