8) Go for a Color Combination That Works Best for You

Finding the right interview and work attire can be hard. The first step to determining what to wear is to figure out what colors work best with your hair color and skin tone. You can go with the blue and white, black and white, blue and tan, or black and grey. Mix and match, experiment and figure what works best for you and stick with it.
