GlovesBurgundy Cashmere Roll-neck, Olive Corduroy Trousers, Olive Overshirt, Brown Hiking Boot, Burgundy Wool Scarf, Black Leather Gloves. A smart combination for interview in cold weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
An interview wants calm authority. The strongest safe move is a dark layer over a lighter base, so the eye lands on your face. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The men's read of this day comes down to a clean silhouette and a quiet palette; the fit does more of the talking than any single piece here.
- Keep jewellery and print to one item.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
