Wearing the same thing to 2 interviews?

I have to go on a HR interview tomorrow and I don't know if I will even get an "actual" interview with a different person. I only own 1 jacket I wear on interviews so I'm worried about wearing it for both of them? Is it ok? I wear a black jacket, colored shirt underneath and black pants. Can I wear the outfit both times if needed, and just change the shirt worn underneath? TIA!

I think you are fine-- but I would probably change the shirt if asked for another round of interviews.

I think its ok, just wear a different shirt underneath. If your field doesn't require you to wear suits to work, then don't spend the money on something you wont get use out of.

Ouch! That whole HR interview not being an "actual" interview stung a bit.

But I am here to offer advice, not rail on those who don't understand my profession.

Totally fine to wear the same jacket. Some people even suggest it (not that I'm one of them) so that people will more easily remember you.

I think it depends if you're required to dress in suits for the job. Personally, when I interview someone and call them back for a second interview, one of the things I am looking to see is if they have more than one professional outfit. But, in my office, we have a very conservative professional dress code.

seriously, I doubt many people will remember your outfit too much anyway.... especially if its black, dark grey, blue, or brown... don't worry, and good luck Chat Icon
