I’m gearing up for an interview subsequent week and was contemplating carrying a costume, regardless of often going the jacket route. However I’m questioning: do individuals nonetheless put on nylons with attire, or are naked legs acceptable lately in an interview? I haven’t purchased or seen individuals carrying nylons in a very long time it appears, but naked legs simply really feel intuitively unprofessional to me. Assist!

You’re superb both approach.

There are some variations on this by area and era, however typically naked legs are completely superb and never thought-about unprofessional … however it’s additionally superb to put on nylons (also called pantyhose or stockings) for those who want them. I’m certain there may be some extraordinarily conservative trade on the market that also expects one thing masking your legs, however that’s very a lot an outlier. Naked legs with attire are commonplace now.

For those who don’t need naked legs, tights are a extra modern-looking choice than nylons (tights are extra opaque than nylons and aren’t designed to appear to be your pores and skin). However any of those choices are superb.
