Is it ever appropriate NOT to wear stockings on a job interview?  I know in Vegas for several months they have a "special dress" code because of the heat.  My suit is a jacket and skirt... light blue linen. It's very corporate looking and stylish.

I say wear the stockings.  Vegas is a very, very dry heat.\n\nBut have you worn this suit before?  Linen wrinkles so easily, and unless it is lined you will likely find it a little uncomfortably itchy in the heat.\n\nGood Luck on your interview.

I am going to one in January.  My husband is an Army Recruiter as well but right now he is in the activated reserves.  Anyway, if your husband has to wear his dress blues then you should wear a formal dress.  That is what I am going to wear.  I am going to get my hair and nails done as well.  Just remember, this is the first time your husbands co-workers are going to meet you.  It is always best to over do it than not.  Good luck and have lots of fun.

Dressing for an interview means nice pants or skirt (not short) and a blouse.  Nothing tight, clingy or low cut.  No big clunky jewelry.  Don't wear too much makeup.  (Leave off the heavy eyeliner, heavy mascara and eye shadow).  Just a light coating of makeup is acceptable.  Conservative is the key.\n\nLook around at some local businesses and notice the way professional women dress.  They do not look sexy or sleazy.  They look "nice".

Speaking From expierience wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely, and won't overheat you. Don't dress like a slob but don't overdo it either. Comfy, Clean, And Something that says "You"

Well I have worn my stockings bowling after work sometimes when I sub in the office league.  I don't wear pantyhose, but my stockings are almost as long, and it was quite a bit of fun, feeling the little straps tighten up when I threw the ball. \n\n I did notice some guys were intrigued with the stocking and bowling shoe combination too.  I hate socks on women , as much as I do pantyhose, so it was stockings and bowling shoes all the way. I don't bowl enouth to know if it imprived my game, but it sure improved the fun being had at the game.

Shirt and tie will be fine.  Wearing a suit after being told you don't need to wear one will be pretentious. \n\nRemember that you are trying to make the interviewer feel at ease as much as he is to you.

I would wear a nice dress, fitted at the top but sort of semi-pouffy (sry for a lack of a better word) at the bottom, knee-length. then wear some nice heels and maybe curl your hair. Like the person who commented first said, try a light color since it's nice and springy and fits the seasom well. if it's going to be cooler you might want to get a wrap the same color as the dress.

If it were me: I would go out and find button-up dress shirts, and jackets and pants that match well with them. I would invest in a few ties that I can wear over and over again. Nice shoes, appropriate dress socks. Basically I would beef up my wardrobe with nice but non-descript stuff so I could wear it a lot but not have to buy a whole bunch. There are few professional offices where not wearing a tie is unacceptable. Get clothes that are comfortable but fit where you are working. \nA lot of places have Casual Fridays and I'd take advantage of that (I'd wear nice polos on Fridays). I would probably alternate wearing a tie like this (Monday, tie. Tuesday, no tie. Wednesday, tie, etc.). I would wear a tie on days that I know I'll be in meetings all day, and I would keep a few shirts and ties at my office just in case. Congrats on your promotion and good luck!

Depends...\n\nYou could go for ULTRA-PRO and wear something like a dark, pinstripe pant suit with a crisp white blouse, minimal jewelry and hair pulled back with minimal makeup...\n\nYou could go for YOUNG AND IN CHARGE and wear a trendy skirt suit (but not too short) with nice heels.\n\nYou could go for BUSINESS CASUAL and wear a crisp white blouse with a pair of khaki boot cut semi low slacks with a cool belt, a long necklace and clean, shiny loafers...\n\nWhatever you do, don't do the following...\n\n- Wear too much makeup (It makes you look dingy and they'll be calling you trailer park sally when you leave)\n\n- Wear too short a skirt (In case your interviewer is a woman)\n\n- Wear short sleeves (Too relaxed)\n\n- Wear hoop earrings (too relaxed)\n\n- Wear Open toe anything\n\n- Wear pastels (purple, pink, yellow, etc.)\n\nAnd the CARDINAL RULE - BE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY and WEAR YOUR COLGATE SMILE...GOOD LUCK

What are your company colors?\n\nTry a Khaki colored polo shirt, with embrodary of your company name and logo on the pocket normally is located.\n\nKhaki also will hide some dirt.\n\nUPDATE!\n\nI'd go with a Khaki color.  It hides dirt, etc.  As an EMT, I wish we used more neutral colors.  We can get real dirty sometimes.  Right now, we where Navy Blue.  They might hide the gore and gross stuff, but it doesn't allow me to see how bad I'm covered.  Neutral would be best to use in most cases.\n\nAlso, if it fades, it still looks Khaki.  LOL

A semi-formal evening wedding would call for a cocktail dress, but what fun is a wedding if you are not comfortable?  I would suggest a more formal pant suit (not something you would wear to the office).  There are some great looking tuxedo suits tailored just for women - very sexy with a low cut blouse.  OR - you can do a wide legged flowy pant with a great long caftan-type blazer.  Something sheer-ish that goes almost to the knee, but is embellished somehow with either beading, or embroidery to make it a little more formal.  \n\nYou can really explore this pant idea.  Maybe something simple, but the material is a gorgeous silk shantung that makes the pant suit look formal/cocktail.  Perhaps you go with colors like champagne.  Something elegant.\n\nAbove all else.  Be comfortable and enjoy!

Depends on the situation.  If you are going for a job interview or a first date, a good first impression counts.  Whatever the situation, you show respect to yourself & others if you dress appropriately for the occasion. For example, if you're hoping to be upgraded to first class on a flight, who do you think the airline staff would pick for that:  someone dressed in tattered jeans or shorts, or someone at the minimum dressed in smart casual?

I work in HR and conduct interviews and do a lot of hiring for a big company. Studies have shown that attractive people get paid better and get more promotions than unattractive people. With that said, I have never hired a person that was not the most qualified just because of their looks. I have hired several people that were overweight. \nMy suggestions to you are to dress professionally for your interview, get your hair done, and most importantly show confidence in yourself. If possible, wear dark colors such as black that will make you look slim. Obviously, don't wear white or horizontal stripes. I can't stress this enough, it is so important to believe in yourself and show the employer that you could care less if you are overweight because you know you are the best candidate for the job. When I am interviewing people, it is their self confidence that shines through the most, not their weight. \nI have hired overweight people that are confident that they can get the job done over attractive people that seemed like they were BSing me or seemed nervous and apprehensive. Good luck!

you can wear them with regular suits.  looks much dressier when you take off the jacket.

Good job on the additional comment you made - getting out of your comfort zone. I absolutely encourage you to continue that. However, a water park really requires something that you will be comfortable in, and certain that you won't lose it. If it's a two piece that's pretty sturdy, then go for it. If it ties or is even the slightest bit loose, top or bottom, go shopping for another suit. Why spend the day worrying about your clothes, when you're supposed to be having fun? Either way, take something to cover up with. And wear sunscreen. Lots and lots of sunscreen. (I just got fried on my vacation, so it's really fresh in my mind.)

I wear a garter belt and stockings everyday to work, and , Yes, I am aware of hold-ups, but they are annoying after a while, and they are not of the same quality as real stockings. Real stockings which need a grter belt, are far superior, and the precious thong is simply worn over the top of them.\n\nI for one have no clue as to why most women think a garter belt is such a problem, I personally havea couple dozen of them.  They are super comfortable, no tight rings on your thighs like you get with hold ups, and the nylons can be of a quality that cannot be posssibly used in pantyhose or hold ups because, they are so shiny and sheer, and are not filled with lycra.

make sure that the red is a professional red…not to bright/flashy…and the style of the outfit would need to be appropriate, reflecting of the environment of the profession of the job interview.\nthat it also reflects you and will make you comfortable and confident  in your interview. Go for it! if a company will not hire you due to a color preferences then they are to uptight and will make your life very dreary & muted job.
