For the interview....

Am I restricted to wearing black on the interview?

Should I wear a long skirt or pants?

What are you wearing?

If you already went, what were all the women wearing? Thanks!

at all five of my interviews, pretty much everyone was dressed up in a black suit (skirt or pants, i think either is fine)

i only saw like two girls wear black dresses (professional style).

so just beware..if you walk in wearing light blue, it might be ok for your interview (b/c they interview ppl separately)...but you might feel a little like an outcast with the other interviewees

Thank you! Would you feel more comfortable in a dress or pants if you could do it all again? Also, did any women wear anything but black? Like a colored cami underneath the black jacket..or a dressy white shirt with a black skirt?

i wore a white shirt and grey striped skirt suit with medium heels nothing open toe or anything. ive seen people wearing a colorful cami under their suit jacket and looked fine. u know your limits. nothing neon or anything. a light pink, blue shirt etc, cami should be fine
 
Several girls that I interviewed with over the course of the year were dressed in black, navy, or khaki suits. I don't remember any skirts or dresses though. However black seemed to be the color of choice this year.
