Trouser suit or skirt suit

Sclosages

Which is least threatening?

Skirt suit. Trouser suit on a woman always comes across as unfeminine (although a gorgeous woman could pull it off of course) or sort sort of power play, especially when worn with a tie :eek: (although maybe some people might be going for that look)

You feel threatened by suits?

I'm going for an interview and don't want to give an impression which is incorrect for me. Basically, I'm a little bit of a ball-breaker and I want to give off the opposite impression.

Sclosages

To put it in context. I resemble Miss Moneypenny in a skirt and the character Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds in a trouser suit.
I'm a good combination of both characters, but I just don't want the interviewer to write me off ..........

Boskowski

Not being smart, genuinely didn't know where you were heading with this.

Anyway, has to be the skirt. It's the more female attire and therefore less sharp if you like. Depends on the actual garment of course but I'd say that's it generally speaking.

right... so why are you asking this, here?

There's a Fashion & Appearences forum.

I don't want to intimidate the poor little man who shall be interviewing me - is that clearer?
I don't want him to not know that I'm tough as nails and will nail him to his next failed attempt.
But..... I need to get the job, so, who do you guys hire? Skirts or trousers?

I'm general, as they wish to get the best return for the money they pay out, they hire the best person for the job.

Go for a kilt though. Kilts convey femininity when worn by a woman, but also that there's a small chance that you're a fifteenth century Scottish Highland warrior that has travelled to the future to apply for the job, and therefore can handle your own in the rough and tumble of the male dominated business world.

Id say skirt. He may or may not be the type to be intimated by a female's attire so I think a skirt would cover both possibilities.

What a beautiful example of misandry. Don't worry Sclosages, I'm pretty certain your true colours will shine through no matter what you wear...

Be interesting to see how this would go down in the ladies lounge if the roles were reversed.

I have one or two things to interject with here Sclosages

^ This reads, to me at least, as a rather condescending sentence - describing men as 'poor' and 'little' in a forum entitled 'The Gentlemens Club' is never going to get you very far. That said, you don't want to be intimidating is the main point you're trying to make from what I can tell so I'll go ahead and suggest the skirt over trouser suit.

I don't understand the next failed attempt part of this so perhaps you could clarify for me?

Additionally - let me know if you want this moved to the Fashion and Appearance forum (as has already been mentioned) where your issue may get more exposure - we can leave a link to the thread in our forum to ensure it's seen here where you originally posted it.

Seriously, why is this thread still open? It's akin to the occasionaly face-palm inducing "how to I score ladies on a night out?" or "what clothes on a guy do chicks dig most?" threads that surface in the Ladies Lounge. Such threads are suitably locked in short order.

Not to mention a rather charming attitude towards men by the OP shown later on in the thread.

Closing this as it doesn't seem to be swinging up from it's downhill start
