How to impress at an interview; all you need to travel in style; and the formal dressing faux pas you’ll want to avoid: we tackle some of your trickiest sartorial questions

Q: I’ve got a job interview at a company with a more relaxed dress code. I’d normally wear a suit to work, so what are my options?

A: Office attire tends to be less strict nowadays, but there are limits. Don’t depart too far from the familiar blazer and trousers combo but rather than going full-on formal, mix and match your jacket and slacks. Ditch the tie and consider smart denim as a great partner to a sharp textured blazer. An Oxford-collar shirt still feels professional, while swapping your black leather shoes and accessories for oxblood or tan styles will bring the tonal look together.
