What to wear to a job interview: 

Teenagers have plenty of options to select 

for interview attire, including:

• Button-down shirt with dark slacks or khakis

Interviewing for a position tailored to high school students often doesn't require you to wear a suit. A button-down with a simple design or solid color paired with khaki pants can show you are organized and neat. This outfit can give the interviewer the perception that you thoughtfully prepared for your interview.

• Polo shirt with skirt or slacks

 Be mindful of the season when you're interviewing. Some positions for high school students may be seasonal jobs, so be ready to dress for warm or cold weather depending on your geographical location and time of year. For summer, a polo shirt with a skirt or slacks suffices for most seasonal jobs. Since a polo shirt is more casual, ensure that you're wearing a stylish skirt or slacks and that your polo shirt is tucked in to demonstrate professionalism during the interview.

• Button-down shirt with a sweater and khakis

If your interview requires a more elevated style, a button-down shirt and sweater combined with khakis is a good option. It's a step up from a polo, but it's not as dressy as a suit and a tie. You can keep a few combinations of sweaters and button-downs in your wardrobe to be prepared for multiple social events.

• Polo shirt with dark slacks and khakis

The key to wearing dark slacks and khakis is to match the color of the slacks to the belt and shoes you're wearing for the interview. A mismatch of color between these items is more difficult to pull together for a neat appearance. Brown loafers, dress shoes and a belt pair well with dark khakis and the polo you choose to wear.

• Button-down shirt and a cardigan with dress pants

You can also opt for a button-down with an additional accessory to have your outfit stand out, like a cardigan. These items pair well with navy blue pants, khaki pants or a skirt.

• Dress shirt and dark jeans

A dress shirt is an ideal outfit for a job interview if you're a high school student. Depending on the type of employer, you may be able to wear dark jeans that complement the color and style of the dress shirt. Denim should be pressed and free of any holes or rips, and ensure there are no stains on your dress shirt before your interview. Always make sure to iron your shirt and tuck it in before speaking with the interviewer.

• Choose your tie wisely

Depending on the position and work environment you're seeking, it might not hurt to wear a tie to your interview. Overdressing is usually not frowned upon in a professional setting, and it can show your desire and assertiveness for the role you're interviewing for. A solid button-down with a striped tie can give off the perception of professional attire, but you can also go with a plaid shirt and solid tie for a more casual workplace. This may require some research of the company before you proceed in wearing a tie to your next job interview. Rolling up your sleeves can be another consideration for you to look more casual.
