Anyone who’s ever gone through the job hunting process knows that getting dressed for an interview can be one of the most stressful parts—and that’s including the interview itself. Okay, so maybe that’s just those of us who love fashion so much, but even so, it can get even trickier if you’re factoring the heat of summer into things. Putting together a summer interview outfit that’ll speak to your professionalism without leaving you in a pool of sweat during your commute is no easy feat, especially when you’re trying to make a good impression.
However, creating an interview outfit that keeps you cool while also showing that you’ve got the chops for the job (because we know you do) can be done. Whether you’re working with breathable fabrics and boxier suit pieces or are choosing dresses and skirts, you don’t have to compromise your comfort for professionalism.
