Tip: Check out Warby Parker to get lenses that are the right fit at the right price.
Keep it corporate: Suit and tie with cuff links and a pocket square. You want to appear clean cut and business-savvy.

Keep it classic: Button-down shirt, skinny tie and a fitted jacket. The trick here is to have your look tailored to perfection. Dress it up with a designer watch.
Tip: Fit the look exactly to your size with customized tailors, such as Proper Cloth.
Keep it real: Chinos, collared shirt, fitted sweater and a leather belt. You want to appear smart, sharp and easy-going enough to work well in a team.

Keep it cool: Dark wash jeans, T-shirt and a solid shirt jacket. You want to look cool, hip and ready to kick-start your new job with fresh style.

Keep it casual: Collared shirt, hoodie and jeans. This interview is not about the clothes you wear, it’s about the computer skills you have. Less distraction is better.
