Can You Wear a Denim Jacket for a Job Interview?
A Denim Jacket reads too casual for most interview settings unless you're applying to creative or startup environments where informality signals cultural fit. If the role allows it, pairing with a Midi Dress can soften the denim's edge and land closer to business-casual, while adding a Statement Necklace helps the combination read as intentional rather than underdressed. For standard corporate or formal interviews, skip the denim entirely.
