I’m currently a second year associate at a law firm, but will be interviewing for an in-house position at a large corporation. I’m meeting some attorneys next Saturday for lunch. (It’s the first interview but they know one of my references which is why we’re going straight to a lunch meeting). I have no idea what to wear. I’m 28-year-old woman and I live in a warm weather state. A suit feels a little too formal for a weekend, but I could wear a casual suit. Any advice?

Work dress but match it with a light color/pastel color blazer. Nude pumps.

What kind of company? Culture matters. A suit would be out of place at my company. When I interviewed the recruiter recommended dark jeans and a blazer so that’s what I wore.

like

Bio tech company. I guess the office culture at the company is to wear a suit most days.

Unsure what to wear but I’d view a weekend interview as a red flag. Culture and WLB could be an issue

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry.

That seems low to me.
