Burgundy for a Job Interview
Burgundy in an interview signals confidence without aggression — darker than red, less expected than navy, and comfortably within professional norms. Pair it with Ivory or Taupe to keep the focus on your presence rather than your outfit, or lean on Heather Gray if the role skews conservative and you want something reliably low-risk. Save Mint Green and Olive Green for creative fields where a little visual energy reads as an asset, not a distraction.
