How do we feel about any of these suits for interviews?

Thanks.

None. #2 could work if the hemline on the slacks was similar to #3.

Trying to express your fashion forward sense is more likely to yield negative results than positive. Play it safe, wear a cute blouse underneath the blazer...

The med school interview isn't the time to put on a fashion show imo

I wouldn't buy any Zara product actually since the quality sucks while the price is pretty high

Even though I respect and appreciate your fashion forward sense, these are not good for the occasion.

It would be nice to look like a lawyer at a very important hearing.

I’ve seen some nice dark colored suits with pinstripes or similar basic patterns! That could be a nice way to express your taste but still be more on the traditional side

ice dark colored suits with pinstripes or similar basic patterns

This is likely more tailored for male advice than female, but I have a darker navy suit with pinstripes and I have gotten rave reviews.

If you still want to buy some of them for daily outfit, I would pick yellow (ocher) one (my gf endorsed as well ).

Sadly, none of these are business professional.
These are "fashion" suits.

Truth, I’ve bought several things from Zara that have fallen apart within a few months. I always get my hopes up because a lot of the clothes are really cute, but it’s usually just not worth it.

OP, setting aside the trendiness of your options for a second, you owe it to yourself to invest in higher quality pieces. Don’t waste your money!

I know what you mean 🙁 but you don’t want to risk it. You don’t want to be rejected because you were unprofessionally dressed :/

Love the ink. Only thing missing is piercings and a split tongue.

Who knows what is under the mask

2 is the best but the pants are too short.

Personally I wouldn’t wear any of these to an interview and several adcoms have told you this too.

Let's put it this way... It's a good thing you decided to ask us first

 

[Tenk]

Those suits are so hideous even the models look pissed to be wearing them.

You know... I'm rather appalled at some of the comments here. For a profession that is supposed to be so diverse and inclusive, some of you need to really reevaluate what that means.

I'll wear what I want (likely the second suit) and I'm sure I'll have no issue getting an acceptance. Best of luck to you all.

At the end of the day, it is still a conservative profession. The people interviewing you could (and like will) be old school. Want to change that? Get into med school first.

Diversity/inclusion =/= sanctioning the purchase of a poorly made, brightly colored suit from a fast fashion retailer. If you want a colorful suit, you can do way better than Zara.

Best of luck to you, too.
