How to Dress for the Career Fair, Inspired by Olivia Pope

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

What would Olivia Pope wear to the upcoming Career Fair, one may ask?  

1)      A good blazer that fits properly is a key piece.  For the winter, a black or grey is best, as these are classic pieces that always look polished. Macy’s and Express have good options for blazers.

2)      If you decide to wear a skirt we recommend tights underneath, either nude or black. Warning: tight stretchy skirts are not advised.

(This is actually a skirt suit from the Scandal clothing line at The Limited)

3)      A good pant suit is a great wardrobe staple for the career fair, interviews, and internships. Olivia Pope’s grey suit is a great example of one

4)       If you decide to wear heels, a good height for a business heel is around 3in. So high stilettos are normally not seen as appropriate. If you decide to wear flats and pants, make sure the pants are not too long (hemming tape works like a charm).
