Can You Wear a Little Black Dress for a Job Interview?
For a job interview, a little black dress reads polished and professional without trying too hard—especially when you anchor it with Chelsea Boots for a grounded, intentional silhouette. If the role skews conservative, layer a Puffer Jacket overtop to soften the dress's evening connotations and signal structure; for creative industries, the dress alone with minimal accessories keeps the focus on you.
