What to wear in Banking/Insurance Interview

You all must be confused on what to wear during a banking interview. It is not that difficult make a good impression if you keep the following points in mind

1. Attire:

Make sure you dress up in FORMALS. By formals I mean shirt and trousers for male and Salwar Kameez or Saree for female. Female who are appearing for the interview in metro cities can wear Trousers and Shirts. But always make sure you are comfortable wearing it because trying to adjust what you are wearing constantly during the interview leaves a bad impression on the HRs.

2. Colour:

Never wear fancy colours during the banking interview.

Male: For male, the colour of the shirt should be light and trousers must be dark in colour.

Female: Ladies can dress up in Salwar Kameez without any shiny stitch work and colour should be light. Same is applicable to women wearing sarees.

3. Accessories:

Male: Tie is a must for male. Tie has to be of dark colour preferably BLACK OR BLUE (deep). As, BLACK & BLUE can be worn with any colour shirt.

Belt should be worn without a fancy buckle. Watches should be of simple dial (medium size). Watches with big dials should be avoided.

Female: Female should not wear heavy jewellery. The earring should be simple preferably small in size. Shoes with heels shouldn't make noise while entering the room. It gives a bad impression. Watches should be of medium or small dial size.

4. Winter wear:

Male: Blazers are preferred above the shirt and tie. Blazers colour should match with the trouser colour. If you are wearing a sweater then sweaters with tags or stickers on it should not be worn. Colour should not be orange or yellow. Dark Colour sweater is preferred.

Female: Cardigans worn above Salwar Kameez or sari should be dark in colour. Cardigans with fancy stitch work should not be worn. Avoid taking a shawl or stole to the banking interview.

Ladies wearing trousers and shirt should follow the dress code I have described for the male.

It’s not that what you wear in the interview, you have to wear forever in your career. So even if you choose to wear western for interview it is not a big deal. Just be sure you are comfortable.

If you follow the dress code I have written then the confusion for the banking interview will be over.

All The best Everybody.
