Shades of grey – dress to impress with the ultimate suiting ensemble

A matching suit set in soft shades of grey is perfect for a coherent ensemble you can mix and pair with other versatile basics in your wardrobe. Start with Perri Cutten’s Oscar Pants, crafted from our signature Japanese matte suiting and complete with a flattering straight-leg silhouette. 

This contemporary silhouette pairs perfectly with the Jessica Silk Shirt, allowing you to tuck the piece into the pants' waistband and layer with our Aldo Jacket in the same colourway. This fully lined, ethically crafted outerwear staple features soft shoulder pads for a structured, vintage-inspired aesthetic and is complete with front jet pockets and sleeve cuff splits that add an unexpected twist. 

With this thoughtful job interview outfit, you can make a striking first impression, highlighting your thoughtful sense of style that perfectly balances refinement and professionalism.

A jacket and pant pairing offers a sleek, minimalist interview outfit for women

Perri Cutten’s Tuxedo Pants and Remi Jacket make for a contemporary ensemble that you can easily integrate into your professional wardrobe rotation. 

Crafted from our signature Japanese crepe, our wide-leg style pants drape and fall with a full-length design, a satin waistband and a subtle stripe along the seam. Pair with a neutral silk blouse and enhance the look with our Remi Jacket, crafted in Australia. With its collarless design, jet pockets and contrasting fabrication, this jacket exudes a sense of timelessness.

When styled cohesively, this combination in faded shades of blue creates a cohesive and polished job interview outfit for women, allowing you to step into any professional setting with professionalism.

Monochrome sets — the backbone of every well-edited wardrobe 

If you’re unsure of the formality of your interview, a monochrome suit will always suffice. Perri Cutten’s Classic Jacket and Collins Pant in Black strike the perfect balance between comfort and style, allowing you to exude a level of respectability that won’t go unnoticed. 

Crafted in Australia from our signature Japanese Crepe, our single-breasted jacket offers a snug fit, while our suit pants are ethically crafted in Australia and feature a mid-rise waist and straight-leg fit. 

When teamed together, this streamlined, all-black interview outfit for women offers a modern yet minimalist aesthetic, making it a worthy investment in your professional wardrobe rotation. 

These pieces also serve as adaptable wardrobe separates, complementing both bright pops of colour and neutral-toned silk blouses. Complete the look with a pair of slingback heels and gold hoop earrings, and layer with an oversized coat if you’re heading to a meeting in the peak of winter.

Versatile silk shirts — the perfect base layer to build a job interview outfit for women

Perri Cutten’s Luisa Silk Shirt and Jessica Silk Shirt offer foundational layers to build a range of stylish, versatile, trans-seasonal ensembles. The  Luisa Silk Shirt exudes luxury and refinement with its silk fabrication, classic button-down design, and relaxed fit. The rich blue hue adds a touch of vibrancy, while the fabric’s subtle sheen makes it a focal point of your overall ensemble. 

Create the perfect combination by teaming the Luisa shirt with the Aria Skirt. Alternatively, welcome our Collins Pants into your wardrobe to create a polished appeal with varying blue hues that highlight the luxurious texture of silk.

If you’re styling our Jessica Silk Shirt, pair it with a neutral pair of trousers to create the ultimate women’s job interview outfit. Layering the shirt underneath a blazer or tailored jacket enhances the formality of your women’s interview outfit, tying your ensemble together.
