What should I wear to an interview at a sexy restaurant?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

When interviewing at a sexy or upscale restaurant, I would aim for an outfit that feels polished, stylish, and professional while still fitting the atmosphere of the venue. A smart blouse paired with tailored black pants or a knee-length skirt is a great choice. If the restaurant has a modern or trendy vibe, adding a fitted blazer can elevate the look without making it feel too formal.

Comfort is just as important as appearance. Since restaurant interviews often include a tour or require standing and walking, I’d choose clean, closed-toe flats or low heels that I can confidently move around in. Looking put together while feeling comfortable helps project confidence throughout the interview.

I’d also keep accessories simple and elegant. Small earrings, a delicate necklace, and light makeup can create a polished appearance without being distracting. My hair would be neatly styled, and I’d make sure my nails and overall grooming are tidy, as attention to detail is often noticed in hospitality.

Even though the restaurant may have a sexy or fashionable brand image, I wouldn’t wear anything overly revealing to the interview. It’s better to let my professionalism, personality, and communication skills make the strongest impression. Once I’m hired, I can learn more about the workplace’s dress code and expectations for staff.

Overall, my goal would be to look confident, approachable, and ready to represent the restaurant well. Dressing in smart business casual attire shows respect for the opportunity while still matching the upscale environment. A neat, stylish, and professional outfit is usually the safest and most effective choice for making a positive first impression.

You should wear normal clothes but something that shows your figure, so they know what they're working with. Like for ex since it's summer, you could just wear regular shorts with a normal tank top. Don't think you should dress like a prostitute if it's like hooters you're applying too. You should probably wear minimal makeup (but wear some), have well groomed nails and be clean and smell good.

Maybe an aggressive push up bra. There is a pub restaurant near me which I thought had a simple selection criteria of choosing large breasted waitresses. But then I met one outside of her job and she was quite modestly sized.

it does depend on the type of sexy restaurant it is. Occasionally went to a lingerie restaurant. A lingerie style top could be a go. It is probably hard to go over the top if sexy is the selling point.

Being flirtatious during the interview could earn you more points :)

If it is not a gentleman's restaurant than dressing like the female custom would be appropriate. Maybe swing past before the interview if you can.

Dress for success & wear tailored dark upscale clothing. Black slacks & a fitted blouse or blazer or something like that. Avoid really revealing or casual clothes.

Management can see you somewhat naked or naked another day.

If you are one legged I would recommend wearing a comfortable shoe & working at IHOP.

*** You have a lovely profile photo, can you take a selfie holding three spoons & post it as your new profile photo so we all know that is really you? ***

Best of luck on your interview.

What kind of sexy restaurant? Like upscale, romantic sexy or like a Hooters or Twin Peaks? Honestly, either way, it’s probably a safe bet to dress professionally like a nice skirt and button down or other professional looking top. Even at somewhere that has more revealing, skimpy uniforms, they still want to know who they hire will be more than just cute.

What kind of place is it?

I'd say take a look how they dress there and try to get a feel for what they would relate to. But in my opinion the safest bet is black, fitted and no yoga pants. Something that you look attractive borderline sexy in that communicates "I'm sexy, I know it and I'm trustworthy."

I used ( in a past life ) interview exoctic dancers , I'd tell them just come reasonably casual , when they came though I would go though all with them..

More often than not it was to see if they really could do it , there are many curve balls..

I'd just go casual only a little sexy , they will show you what it's all about.

Tarifa · Answer

I don't really get the full extent of your question. What is a sexy restaurant? I mean, if the job requires you to wear a certain type of clothing, more revealing, then that's what you should wear. It's kind of obvious.

If it's a regular job interview, dress more conservatively.

jshm2 · Answer

Nothing...

Joking aside. It doesn't matter if it's an entry level or executive post. Always dress professional. You want to make good first impressions, as that is the half the battle.

If you "dress wrong" then they will mark you down automatically without you saying a word.

@julia0220 If you’re applying to HOOTER’s, wear something that reveals your figure but doesn’t look slutty. Made sure to get a manicure 💅 Be professional.

lisawishart · Answer

I would wear something slim fitting, maybe go for the more business approach and wear an open dress shirt that’s tight round the waist, a nice but classy lace bra just slightly peeking through the open buttons, then maybe a sleek skirt with or without tights/stockings

What makes the restaurant sexy? Is it a high class restaurant or a restaurant like Hooters or Twin Peaks? If it’s a high class restaurant then wear a beautiful dress and nice heels , if it’s a place like twin peaks just wear casual

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Why not visit the restaurant in advance of your interview and look at how the female staff members are dressed?

Bricealan · Answer

@julia0220 wear the same kind of clothes you wear in an office interview. That's what I did for an interview in Westwood, at UCLA and I got the job.

Jersey2 · Answer

You should wear what they wear. If a uniform that is tight fitting tee shirt, wear one without the branding if you look good in it. If they wear slinky dresses, wear one of those. Wear what you would if you wanted great tips.

texasgirl012 · Answer

If sexy really is part of the brand then you have to show you understand the brand. Sexy for sure but not over the top.

A sexy restaurant? Do you mean, like, a gentleman’s club?

AviatorTom · Answer

Wear something that emphasizes your figure, without being trashy. A miniskirt and blouse, showing just a hint of cleavage, for example.

exitseven · Answer

Wear a short skirt and show a lot of cleavage. You will get the job.

Sexiestjohnson · Answer

A modest attire. I believe the more people have to labour to see those explosive things you hid so modestly, the more they want to see it.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Do you mean a "breastaurant"? Like Hooters? You're probably all set, then.

Alex-Snow · Answer

What kind of sexy restaurant is it? But at any rate it is always best to slightly overdress conservatively rather then look trashy or slutty.

MrChinaski · Answer

Hot pink thong. It will show up well on mirror floors.

bowenw · Answer

Perhaps something like a black cocktail dress.

Staximus · Answer

That depends on if you’re trying to be the manager or a waitress, and if you’re interviewing with the owner or the manager

Iron_Man · Answer

What is the sexy restaurant? I’ve never heard of that. Are you talking about a nightclub or a strip joint

It would be very inappropriate to have a job interview at a "sexy" restaurant, unless you're interviewing for a job at that restaurant. I don't even believe this story, and I'm sure many other don't.
