[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 611492, member: 3907"] Okay. Interview-suitable wardrobe for a warm climate. Here's what I expect to see from the hiring side of the desk: Straight or A-line skirt, knee length, neutral colour (tan, grey, black, or navy blue). Nothing bright, any patterns should be subtle. Jacket, long-sleeved, single-breasted if possible, high "stance" -- in other words the top button is high enough that the jacket doesn't gape over the bustline. Colour to match or complement the skirt. Fabric such as linen, cotton, or linen blend that breathes well. Camisole or lightweight blouse under the jacket. This can be a bright colour that goes with the jacket and skirt. Pantyhose if at all possible. If not, then well groomed bare legs -- properly shaved, moisturized, no tattoos -- makeup can hide these if necessary. Sensible pumps. Closed toe full shoes or slingbacks, with a modestly high heel. 2 to 3 inches works best. A neutral colour that works nicely with the outfit. To address the height issue: Try to have a single colour, with one contrasting element. So...beige skirt, beige blouse, beige shoes, navy blue jacket. Or tan suit, tan shoes, bright coloured blouse. Hair neatly combed, in a style that looks competent but not fussy. Not too "done" or dressy, but not sloppy. A low ponytail with a dressy clasp works well. Not too much hair spray, just enough to keep things neat. Options, if the skirt-suit isn't feasible: A simple, sheath style dress with a matching jacket. A trouser suit. Even a summer dress can work, if it's paired with a nice jacket and it's not too frilly or flouncy or flowery. [/QUOTE]
