Hi Nicki,

Thanks for saving me from looking like an investment banker! I’ve got a tailored 3 piece chalk gray pinstripe suit. It’s super comfy and classy, but it does make me look a bit like I’m cast in an english 1920’s period drama.

Sounds like I should ditch the vest, tie, and oxfords— and hit up my local vintage store for a creative shirt and maybe some classy sneakers or casual loafers for the ensemble.

I love the bit about dressing to impress artist and novelist parents. All things considered, my sights are now set on an outfit that hints at my creative side and would allow me to blend in on a Wes Anderson film set.

Thank you for doing what you do—
Best,

Drew

I always aim to be the best dressed casual person in the room. So I show that I’m putting in effort with lipstick and earrings, but I keep the outfit simple. My last zoom meeting I opted for a sweater with a simple line drawing of a woman’s face and black slacks. I always aim to be funky enough to signal I’m a creative (bright red lipstick, art on clothing) but professional enough to be taken seriously (neutral colored clothing, simple designs, very light dusting of accessories and makeup).

I recently had an interview with a tech startup, so not a copywriting interview but similarly creative-casual vibe. I wore a black blazer over a comfy olive knit dress, and artisan silver rhodochrosite earrings, with my hair in a loose updo. I got the job!

Hi Rebecca,

That would be a perfect choice—dressed up, but still funky enough to show your creativity. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!

Dress pants and a funky top with a pair of more casual high heels
