Can You Wear Ankle Boots for a Job Interview?

Ankle Boots ground an interview outfit without reading too formal or stiff. Pair them with Wide-Leg Trousers for a polished silhouette that stays professional, or throw on a Trench Coat to signal you understand how to dress with intention. The goal is looking prepared and put-together, not like you're trying too hard.
