What do women wear to interviews these days? I'm debating between dress slacks with a sweater (professional but comfortable) or buying a whole suit setup like I used to wear. Is the skirt/heels/pantyhose look still necessary or outdated?

Pantyhose is not necessary, but a suit (skirt or pants) is still appropriate.

Oh I don’t think you want to dress that casual. You can go the pants suit route. But at the very least you want dress slacks or skirt, a blouse, and a blazer.

I typicaly wear a long dress, heels, and a blazer. But I think slacks and a sweater is fine too. I would just dress nice, don't overthink it.

I think it also depends on where you live and the type of business. A pantsuit or dress with a blazer is always a good choice.

Agree depends on the role, you likely will not go wrong with a suit but I would suggest a blazer at min either with pants and a blouse or over a dress. These days it’s likely your interviewers will be dressed more casually but I think it’s still best for candidates to dress their best.

It’s a great question and the people who have recently been hired should be responding. I have always dressed, semi professional to every interview. If I was some high-powered executive, I would dress like I would if I went into the office. So high-powered executive in my mind would be wearing a business suit. But if you’re in a roll, that is not like a high-powered executive then I would wear comfortable but still business just like you had planned.

Rather do the suit. Pantyhose aren't necessary, but if you wear a dress or skirt, I'd wear them anyway

Slacks and a blouse. If it’s chilly weather outside, add a blazer. You can always take the blazer off. One of my favorites is a nice sheath dress with a blazer.

Blazer. Doesn’t need to be full on suit.

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?
