The very first of the Southern Truths for Daily Living from What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should) :

Femininity is a plus in the business and social worlds.

Which means, wearing a skirt just reminds everyone that you're a woman. And that ain't a bad thing Men are naturally drawn to women, and I think it's a good idea to play that up as much as you can.

THis is only true up to a certain point. At a certain corporate level, men are not going to take you seriously if they see you as their little sister or someone they want to have sex with. One headhunter I know talked about how women who used their femininty like this were complaining because they weren't being taken seriously and she had to tell them to cut it with the little girl lost act.

Skirts are necessary at interviews and depending on the formality of the office, formal business settings. In business casual and on an everyday level there is nothing wrong with wearing pants.
