What should I wear to a job interview at a law firm?

I have a job interview at a law firm next week and I’m having trouble deciding what to wear. Please help!

People generally advise you to dress up at least two levels higher than the current job for which you are appearing. It will create a good first impression. For professional and senior management positions, a suit, with a tie and dress shoes is quite suitable. For women, a formal pant suit will be very apt. Women should wear only minimal and simple jewelry. Women candidates should opt for only moderate heeled shoes.

The general rule is to opt for conservative shades and designs. Bright checked shirts, loud colored blouses, and odd designed dresses are not to be worn at all.

You have to ensure that the set of dress you have decided to wear for your interview is sparklingly fresh and without any crease marks whatsoever. Also ensure that the shirt is buttoned up fully when attending the interview.

Even though it is not part of the dress code, two other things also play crucial roles at the interview. If you are wearing glasses, ensure that they are clean and sparkling. They should sit on the nose correctly balanced. And the next item is your watch on the wrist. Wear a conservative watch without any external frills.
