Do I need to wear tights to interview?

[kaim10]

I'm planning to wear a classic black skirt suit and closed toed formal black shoes. It's still so hot out... do I need to wear tights? Are bare legs unprofessional? Thanks!

Yeah girl you gotta wear sheer pantyhose! Not black opaque tights but sheer skin color ones. Do yourself a favor and don't get the cheapos from Walgreens because they will snag really easily- get ones that are middle of the line. Buy 2 pairs and bring the extra one to the interview so if the ones you're wearing snags you have ones to change into.

Good luck!

If you're going to wear a skirt, yes you need pantyhose.

The hotter you look the better

Maybe it's just me but when I think of tights I think of casual. Invest in a couple good pair of pantyhose

Why?

Why?

Business professional.

Why?

Because OP is a girl.

Why?

Same reason why there are so many "rules" for men's suit jackets like buttoning and single vs double breasted. There are business professional norms, and sheer pantyhose with a dress skirt is one of them.

I hate pantyhose with a passion as I always seem to get a run in them, so I avoided that by wearing pant suits.

Honestly, get a pair of Spanx pantyhose and never look back. I've had a couple pairs of the black/brown reversible ones and they've held up marvelously. I just got a couple pairs of nude ones for interviews, and they feel super awesome (well, as awesome as pantyhose can ever feel, anyways).
