Suit Yourself Program
Smith students may borrow new Banana Republic jackets, skirts,
and pants, sizes 2-24, in matching black fabric. There is also a collection of slacks, jackets, shirts and ties.
This service is FREE for current Smith College students - you just pay for dry cleaning!
How to borrow
- Come to the Lazarus Center during daytime drop-in hours and a Peer Advisor will help you select what you need to look your professional best.
- Give yourself enough time to try on suits, and to fill out a contract with a Peer Advisor - usually 15-20 minutes.
- Bring your OneCard and, if you like, the shoes and accessories you'll be wearing.
- Suit Yourself is open during the academic year only.
- Don't wait until the last minute to borrow. We suggest you come in 2 days before your interview.
HOW TO RETURN
- All items must be professionally dry cleaned and returned within 7 days (with dry-cleaning receipt attached).
- Items should be in the same condition in which you borrowed them, by the date listed on the contract, and during suit program hours.
- Late returns will result in a $10 per day late fee. If items are not returned, borrowers may be charged a replacement fee up to $250.

Advisors are available by appointment for practice interviews. Call x2582 to set up a time, and be sure to read our booklet, Interviews.
Make sure your attire is appropriate. A well-groomed professional appearance is essential. Anything else will detract from the best possible presentation you can make. A good way to determine suitable attire is to look at what people typically wear in the organization or industry for which you are interviewing.
