I'm really hoping some of you can help - I know there are several regular posters on these boards with Law backgrounds so that's why I've posted in HE.
DD has been invited to do a weeks work experience at a leading London Law firm at the end of August.
We've sorted out accommodation etc and now it's suddenly occurred to us that we have no idea what she should wear.
Neither of us have any experience of work in that environment.
I know it will need to be formal, but does she need a suit?
Skirt or trousers?
Whatever it is will need to be bought as she has nothing suitable at all.
She is starting university in September though, where she will continue to live in jeans and hoodies I imagine, so I'd prefer not to spend a fortune at this point!
It has taken us a bit by surprise - she applied to several hundred places because with the long summer after A Levels it seemed like a good use of time.
She didn't expect to receive an offer like this though as we thought most firms only took second years.
She was just hoping to get on mailing lists to be invited to open days/workshops etc.
