best of luck

Hopeful parting words

Best of luck is a parting wish for someone's success, typically said when they face a challenge or uncertain outcome: Best of luck on your interview.

The phrase is slightly more formal than "good luck" and often implies genuine hope rather than casual politeness.

It can carry a note of finality—you've done what you can to help, and now fortune must do the rest.
