What to wear for a job interview can be a complicated decision. You want to make a great first impression in the interview and have carefully planned what to wear. The problem is, Mother Nature didn’t get the note that her perfect job interview outfit didn’t take into account a rainy day.

Then what do you do?

Well, you still want to show up dressed for a job interview, looking smart and ready for success. Even if the interviewers may not remember what you are wearing, they should remember that your appearance was polished and professional. At the job interview, you will be evaluated for both what you are wearing and what you are saying.

Here’s a quick guide to “job interview clothes” for a rainy day:

Clothing – The default dress code for the job interview is conservative or business-friendly. Wear a pantsuit or dress pants on a rainy day. You will protect your legs so that they do not get wet and it will not be so noticeable. Stick to darker neutral colors like navy blue and black because it will still look sharp even if it gets a little wet. Generally, I recommend a dress shirt or blouse in white or a light pastel color like pink, blue, and green. But for a rainy day, I recommend staying away from white because you will end up with a see-through shirt if it gets soaked.

Shoes – You should never wear open shoes or sandals to an interview and a rainy day is no exception. Wear conservative heels and be sure to select a pair of heels that are not too high, as you will navigate wet and slippery terrain. Trust me, there will be puddles everywhere and your goal will be to do your best not to trip and fall in the parking lot, at the entrance of the building or in the lobby.

Accessories – If it’s raining, your best accessories will be a nice umbrella and a matching raincoat. It’s hard to look professional when holding a multi-colored polka dot umbrella and wearing a bright red raincoat. Stick to dark neutral colors like black and navy to match your outfit for the job interview.

Hate – Your job interview hairstyle is the first to go on a rainy day and the hardest to put back together when you leave the house. Choose a simple hairstyle that is easy to fix in case it is also a windy day. It can make or break your whole look. Again, you want it to be polished, not messy, and out of place when it arrives. Choose to pull your hair back in a ponytail rather than letting it down if you can.

Bag – You will already have a lot to hold with an umbrella and a raincoat in your hands, so keep your purse or handbag small. Stick with a leather bag or briefcase as it dries easily and looks professional regardless of the weather.

Its appeal for job interviews, even on a rainy day, it only needs a couple of tweaks to work. Sounds simple enough, right?
