Hey I got an interview at New Look on Wednesday. What do you guys think I should wear, I'm pretty confused with all this now because everyones telling me yes to dress smartly and no to dress casual, but another dozens of people are saying the opposite - yes to casual no to smart seem as though they're a fashion retail shop.

Any tips and advice please?

hii i actually still haven't heard back from them by phone or post =/ i'm going to phone them in abit! When the man phoned me to tell me i got an interview he told e to dress quite fashionable as thats what they want to see, if you got any fashionable clothes from new look id definately wear them!! hope this helps and good luck with the interview!!
Right the best thing to wear for a New Look Interview is probably something from New Look, wear something that is on-trend for the season, you'd be surprised but that actually goes a far bit of the way. It shows you know your fashion and thats what New Look likes. My deputy manager wears basically anything, she's proper hip and going into her 50's (I think), you can't expect to be all suited up and going into a job interview because you will look like a gorm. When I went for my interview, was almost a year ago now, the people in the room (about 6 of us) were all wearing very fashionable stuff and there's me with a tie and a blazer (I dumped the blazer LOL), though I did have work that same day so they excused me for the clothes.

I'm not sure if they still do it, but I had to design an outfit for a celebrity which is fun seeing as I never went into New Look until I actually applied to work there. :P Really though, you're going to be wearing quite casual clothes for your work so try to make it look as if you care for what you wear. I'm like the only bloke who works in a woman-dominant store and all the girls who go for interviews do wear pretty casual New Look stuff. :smile:

But do remember, its a job interview so be somewhat presentable in working casual clothes, don't go looking like a tramp. :P

Just saying this to make you feel better, even though it's a bit late as you'll be having your interview NOW! xD But yeah, maybe you wern't accepted because you wern't what they were looking for, or there were just better and more mature candidates at the time! I wouldn't be shaken by it, good luck to you though :smile:

i have an interview at tk maxx and i really am confused about what to wear, loads of people have said jeans and a smart top etc and some have said go smart as for any interview... i think they wear a uniform there tho, so it wouldnt be like new look where you would try and look fashionable? i dont have any smart trousers or anything tho, i have a nice pencil skirt which i could wear with a nice top? or would that be too dressy? help!!

Smart trousers and a top like a jumper maybe.
Is it okay to wear and off the shoulder top to the interview?

Firstly why are you bringing back a 7 year old thread? Secondly, I wouldn't. I don't think they look professional or smart at all. If you're having to question in, then it probably means you know you shouldn't.
Okay thank you, and 7 year old threat?
