No formal interview clothes- this isn’t a style question so much as what’s acceptable these days

Can i wear linen trousers to interview at a fairly formal workplace? My current work is casual dress code and I have a pair of black linen trousers (Daisy from Beyond Nine, sort of horseshoe shape) and a pair of tailored trousers, but those are wool so warm, given the forecast, and also won’t go with the only structured jacket I own.

i also have a dress that I use for funerals, in brown silk with a kind of ditsy flower print, but no jacket that would go with it.

I’m skint and don’t want to have to buy something if I can possibly avoid it, but do I need to contact a friend this weekend to borrow something?

If it’s warm I would wear the dress

Thanks all. I’m going to wear the linen trousers and either my grey blouse, or a cream linen-mix top under my jacket.

No time for Vinted and no money for shopping! I’ll spend the extra time revising for the interview 🤞
