Women's attire

Yes, was just referring to the jacket and skirt, not the shirt and heels!

I'd do it - you'd stand out; but I think it a positive way. I adore this outfit. I concur though; you may wish to tone it down with some plain black pumps.

Hello!

I recently bought myself a beige skirt/blazer set, and I wanted to know if it would be acceptable to wear it for the interview. Is beige too casual or too summery? My interview dates are April 24 and April 29. Thank you!

those seem like late interview dates! what if you have a final exam?

I saw beige suits at both my interviews. I even saw a girl in a cream suit (she must have been hoping the chairs were clean before she sat down lol). Beige is fine to wear, but if you aren't going to feel comfortable, get something else. Wear whatever will make you not worry about it

Thank you very much for your reply! I really do hope the chairs are clean!

I'm a CEGEP level student in Quebec, so my exams are only around mid-May. I really do feel comfortable and confident in my suit, but I'm just afraid that the colour is a little too casual.

If you are worried about looking too casual you could wear a collared shirt under it. And ahhh I see, that makes sense then

I would vote too casual - you -might- be able to get away with a beige blazer and more traditional coloured shirt and skirt (I'm thinking navy, blue, maybe red); but an entire suit that is beige would probably be risky.

haha well I'm assuming renin is more of an expert than I am on this topic considering the blog - but I did see multiple girls with beige suits at my interviews, and one was the beginning of March. That obviously doesn't mean it's "correct" or whatever, but I thought they looked fine/nice/professional, and with a collared shirt especially I think it would look professional enough. That being said, it's always better to err on the side of caution for this stuff I suppose.

I will also note that I saw multiple girls at my interview with no suit at all (just a blouse with no jacket), and a suit of any colour looks better than that. I just can't see an interviewer faulting someone for wearing a beige suit? That seems a bit bizarre to me.

Of course no one is going to call you out on your suit ... it's like, wearing open toed shoes. They're stylish and people love them - but it's probably safer at an interview to err on the side of caution, and if you are going to be "adventurous" to not go all out

I don't think I'd personally wear a beige suit (or any suit that wasn't navy, grey or black) - but I won't let that sway my opinion. I am not an expert in the matter, of course, and coloured suits are very, very trendy right now

Sorry to revive an old thread but I was wondering if this would be appropriate attire:

-Typical black blazer + skirt
-This type of blouse http://www.rw-co.com/default.aspx?ac...3600&topid=150 (I really dislike wearing collared shirts... is this type of a blouse too casual/inappropriate?)
-Black flats (I am not comfortable with heels... is that an issue?)

Thanks for the help
