I’m gearing up for an interview subsequent week and was contemplating carrying a gown, regardless of normally going the jacket route. However I’m questioning: do individuals nonetheless put on nylons with clothes, 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 nice both approach.

There are some variations on this by area and technology, however on the whole naked legs are completely nice and never thought-about unprofessional … however it’s additionally nice to put on nylons (also called pantyhose or stockings) if you happen to favor them. I’m certain there’s 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 clothes are commonplace now.

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