I have worn a skirt on 1 interview my entire life. It's the only job I didn't get (after getting the interview).
And I have to agree with the sexism card on this one. It's not overt, but it's there. If I heard a manager @ my company say they prefer women who wear skirts, I would do 1 of 2 things: if I know them well, I'd maybe call them on it. More likely, I'd report it to HR. Because it's an issue.
I hate skirts & dresses. And as a result, I'm not nearly as comfortable in them. I'm not myself, because I'm distracted the whole time by my stupid outfit. (Probably a factor in why I didn't get the 1 job- I was distracted). I dress very professionally & pay attention to the cut & style of my pants & pantsuits at work. If someone is uncomfortable with it, that's their problem.
If skirts are more professional, why is it okay for men to wear pants? (OK, I'm being funny, but do you get the point?)
