I have a pretty important job interview coming up I'm 18 6'2 about 180lbs I wouldn't say sleek build but between muscular and sleek. This is what I'm working with. https://m.imgur.com/a/DIMCp Now please don't kill me in the comments ! Lol I know it's not the best but I'm unemployed at the moment and I need to look as sharp as possible for this interview it's a very high paying job about 18/hr. The brands I'm wearing are Marc anthony, sonoma, and apt9. Yes I know I have to iron my shirt I just did a quick try on but unfortunately I don't have to many professional looking clothes. Any advice would be great like tips on how to wear it or how to make it look sharper. Thanks.

What kind of work? The best advice about dressing for a job interview is dress like you already work there. Button that second button.

OP, please give us your definition of "professional looking clothes".

For professional clothes, the brands aren't really that important because you aren't really supposed to wear things with big logos. You can get away with wearing cheaper things. I've been taught that for a job interview always wear a suit and tie if you have one.

With your build I'd skip the interview & find a sugar mommy

I was stressing about the same thing a couple weeks back. I was applying to a position in a laid back startup company so I decided to go with an easy going but neat, rather than too formal, outfit (jeans and a blazer). But different jobs value different attires. Just make sure that you feel confident in whatever you decide to wear, that's a major key to success. ;) Here's a pretty good guide for what to wear to a job interview: https://classymencollection.com/blogs/mens-fashion-guide/how-to-dress-for-a-job-interview

Except for creative jobs, your clothes aren't supposed to stand out too much during an interview, staying boring with light blue/white shirt, navy suit and simple tie might be a good option
Never tried it but some relative went to the company a week before the interview and chatted with the reception people to know more about the habits... Didn't worked too bad apparently
