Jan says, “High heels can be a great fashion accessory but, from the point of view of the foot, wearing high heels habitually isn’t a good idea. The joints of the feet can be damaged by wearing high heels, and this can cause deformities and some forms of arthritis.”

High heels make the wearer appear taller, accentuate the muscle tone in their legs and make their legs appear visibly longer. There are many types of high heels, which come in different styles, colors and materials, and can be found all over the world.

In general, the most appropriate heel height for work is at or under 3.5 inches. Anything higher than that may seem unprofessional and may look like you are going to a frat party. While you may not like the idea of torturing your feet, wearing high heels is sometimes a must.

The 17 most comfortable heels

You don’t have to wear heels to any interview, especially if you’re not comfortable. When deciding what professional shoes to wear to an interview, make sure your shoes are closed toe, the heel no higher than 3 inches, and in neutral colors. Flats are perfectly acceptable for an interview too.

For your business casual interview, wear black or brown closed-toe flats, pumps or low heels. Make sure your shoes are not scuffed, scratched or dirty, and avoid strapped sandals, flip-flops, sky-high stilettos, sneakers or brightly colored shoes.

30 Things You Should Never Say in a Job Interview

• “So, Tell Me What You Do Around Here” Rule #1 of interviewing: Do your research.
• “Ugh, My Last Company…”
• “I Didn’t Get Along With My Boss”
• 4. “
• “I’ll Do Whatever”
• “I Know I Don’t Have Much Experience, But…”
• “It’s on My Resume”
• “Yes!

DO: Keep hair clean and out of your face. So keep your hair swept away from your face during an interview to avoid playing with your strands. I do not have bangs but I typically put my hair half-up, half-down because for me that feels the most comfortable.

Neutral colors – navy, gray, black, and brown – are the best colors for a job interview. White is also an excellent color for a blouse or button-down shirt.

The risk of keeping long hair down is that you’ll touch or play with it during the interview. Or, if you wear lip gloss, it’s easy for strands to stick to your lips. That’s distracting! For a good solution, try a sleek, straight look and keep strands of hair behind your shoulders.

Men are more physically oriented when it comes to attraction and hair that is down is more touchable and accessible than hair that is all pinned up. Most women also tend to look younger when their hair is down, which most men perceive as being more attractive.

How to style your hair for an interview

• Opt for straight and sleek styles.
• Wear loose waves or natural curls.
• Try a classy bun, ponytail or long braid.
• Choose an asymmetrical style for short hair.
• Consider a straight or curly bob.
• Style a clean and crisp pixie cut.
• Try a side part in your hair.

Men should wear their hair short. The hair should not extend over the ears on the sides or past the shirt collar in back. Sideburns should not extend farther than the middle of the earlobe. Women’s hair is best in a short, neat style and at the longest should be no more than shoulder length.
