I have an interview in a couple of weeks for an office-based consultant role. I'm familiar with the environment already as a friend works for this company, and she reckons the usual everyday outfit for women is plain trousers or skirt with a pretty blouse, tunic or plain-ish sweater, while most of the men wear smart jeans.
I never ever wear suits (would have to buy one especially) and tend to prefer darker trousers or skirts with monotone or single colour tops - I have bug hips, a slim tummy and big bust so don't tend to go for patterned tops! Would a smart top and black or navy trousers with heels be ok or does it absolutely have to be a suit for interviews? (It's about 8 years since I had my last formal interview!) I know I'd feel uncomfortable in a suit and that puts me off wearing one!
Thanks in advance!
