When we went to Algonquin Park a few weeks ago, it took a while for me to decide my outfit for the day. Since the temperature was going to be colder than normal (10°C or 50°F), layering would be an essential component to staying warm and comfortable at the same time.

It's best to dress in muted colours such as black, white, cream, or beige for an interview (or red if you're really confident), and avoid too-flashy sparkles, sequins, or anything neon-bright for obvious reasons.
