[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This question is more complicated that it appears.  I used to always wear pantyhose to interviews and meetings, etc.  As a result, I was told that doing so made me appear out of date.  So now I don't wear them in the summer, but still do in the fall and winter.

Are you all seriously saying that you'd consider the no-hose look, even with closed toe shoes, a negative factor in a summer job interview?  Also, the pantsuit idea can be somewhat of a trap also, as some older partners still consider a dress suite more appropriate, just because it looks more formal.[/quote]

This is OP. Thank you!  This is exactly the thought process I had. There is something about pantyhose that seems kind of out of date and pants suits definitely don't solve the problem because some older lawyers (the female federal judge I clerked for, for instance) don't like them either.

I'm surprised by the number of posters who think this is a no brainer. I can tell you that most younger women do not wear pantyhose ever. I was on the hiring committee at my old firm and maybe 25% of female candidates under 30 wore them for interviews.

Anyway, I bought the sheerest hose I could find at Nordstrom in the color closest to my actual skin tone.  I'm sure they'll be fine. [/quote]
