| Pants and a jacket? The job is in a casual office, so pants would be typically. But should you dress up for the interview or dress for the job? |

| Of course. It's 2017. |

| You should dress up for an interview, but that doesn't require a skirt. |

| Of course. Haven't felt the need to wear a suit skirt since the 90s. |

| Yes. If Hillary could accept the nomination in a pantsuit, you can wear pants to an interview. As long as you look polished and professional, you will be fine. |

Yes, a pants suit is okay, if you are most comfortable in that if you are most comfortable in a skirt or dress go with that.
No, do not go casually dressed to an interview even if the typical environment is casual. |

| I've been working for 26 years and I don't think I've ever gone to an interview in a skirt. |

| Yes, totally fine and you don't want to work somewhere it's not. (The idiot HR director I used to work for was vehemently against pantsuits as late as the early 2000, but, again, she was an idiot.) |

| I am a guy, and can not imagine an interview where I would not wear pants. Don't think I would want that job. |

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Totally flummox them by showing up in your jacket and boxer shorts. Unless you're a lay-dee, in which case stay home and mop the kitchen floor. |
