I wear a suit, either a pantsuit or a skirt suit, depending on how I feel and the weather.

I wear a suit with pants and heels.

I usually wear a black pant suit with a colorful top underneath the blazer. I go with what makes me comfortable. Pants for me are more comfortable than skirts.

I have always worn a suit with pants or a skirt. It really depends on where you are interviewing. Most places these days don't discredit a woman wearing pants, but a lot of law firms and investment banks still view skirts more favorably, as do well-established companies that are run by older men.

Definately pants. I never wear skirts unless it's laundry day...

Pant suit.. every single time!

I always wear a suit with a skirt, not pants.

There are some arguments against wearing skirts simply because your outfit should be asexual...

I have not found that to be the case. I have always worn a nice skirt and blouse with not too tall heels....

I got follow-up interviews and I got my job that way. I am not sure it matters. Whatever you are comfortable in.

I agree with this. Whatever you are more comfortable and present the best in. Since I wear dress pants more than skirts into the office, that's what I'm more confident in.

I wear a skirt and matching jacket and random blouse, I tend towards purple or any bright colour to stand out from all the white and black. I try to have some form of colour on as it'll create something different about you, visually, and they'll think 'oh yes, the one with the purple blouse that said XYZ'

^ this, but leave the heels on the whole time regardless.

Whatever looks best on you. I think pants are OK.

I look AWFUL in a suit. My last interview, I wore an ankle-length, flowy skirt with a shell top and non-traditional jacket with wedge heels. The woman who is now my boss road down with me in the elevator and told me that although they still had interviews to conduct, at that time I was their first choice.

Obviously, I got the job. :-)

I've never worn pants, but I also never wear what one would call a suit. Just as long as you're put-together and look professional.

Skirt suit with heels.

Yes I wear pants.

Depends on the weather but I prefer pants with a nice top and blazer. I think it makes me look more professional. And with skirts I have to worry about sitting properly and I'm already worrying about so much when I go for an interview. Pants are easier for me. :P

Black dress pants, conservative blouse, small heel. I am more comfortable and it makes me more relaxed at the interview as well as looking professional.

_Wits_

I wear pants. Pretty much all the time. And heels, eventhough they make my feet want to explode.
