I doubt that funky. But u Got the leisure suit down at least. Hard to get a job in this Millennium. Wearing a leisure suit to an interview. And you're a first round draft pick. well played funky well played. You doubt? You should see me in my little black dress the agency is intent on calling a "robe."

Utility kilt for WD/LBMT: Dress kilt for SI: When I'm interviewed I look to project an air of authority. Wearing this, there'd be plenty of air but very little authority.

I would definitely give a thumbs up to the tactical duty kilt. He wears it well.

I think we all know what to wear to an interview at this point in our lives? Is this really a discussion point? If so - I really need to scream into a pillow.... smh I never assume after a witness told me he knew what to wear at trial. I wanted him to wear his work uniform, but he insisted that because "he sold real estate on the side," he knew what to wear. He showed up in a green polyester leisure suit. when I was a brand new lawyer, assigned my first trial (my one and only criminal defense case), I told the wife of the Defendant (who would be testifying) to wear what she would wear to church --needless to say I was pretty naïve!

Mrs. G hates the term pant suit. Its a suit! Would Mrs G allow us to grandmother the term pant suit in for Hillary? Mrs. G here. That's a big NO. It's a suit. The assumption that a skirt is "normal" and therefore a suit with pants needs its own terminology (but only if a woman is wearing it) is but one of many examples of the raging sexism still extant in the legal profession. I have broken a number of my male colleagues of the disgusting term over the years by the simple expedient of loudly and publicly complimenting THEIR "pantsuits." Don't be next Gary :-) To be clear, ladies, wear whatever kind of suit you like. I just refuse to accept that a suit needs a different name solely because of the equipment it covers.

I found a business kilt that I really liked but couldn't figure out how to post it. Since the equipment it was covering was part of it, probably for the best.

Nice to have you back for a post! I have it on excellent authority that you are the smarter member of the G-Team! You'd have to catch me on a very rare day to be able to compliment my pantsuit, which is in fact quite nice.

The G team only works as a team, and we've been together long enough to have learned that the hard way! As a rule, I read rather than post because I'm not the person going through the process and don't have anything significant to contribute. But since my (fake) name came up...

The term "pantsuit" actually makes me think of the uniforms worn on all versions of Star Trek - giant onesies.

A tactical kilt might be good for hiking not so much for white water rafting. I may investigate further.
Just as an FYI the Marine Corps has its own tartan and nothing makes a set of dress blues pop like a kilt.

I used to go to the supermarket after church on Sunday to have coffee and chat with regulars. There was always this guy in full dress kilt attire. I haven't thought of that in years.
I would love to see a male attorney rock a kilt in federal court.

A guy in my law class wore his Marine dress blues to graduation - it was like Clark Kent suddenly being revealed as Superman!
@gaidin, just be aware of the sword if you wear the tactical kilt hiking (or rafting for that matter).

Thanks for the memories. My father decided to take up the bag pipes the summer that I was studying for the bar exam. As much as I love bag pipe music, I have to say that for my father, the first few months were more than a little off key. He did eventually get much better. He left me both his bag pipes and his kilt in our clan's tartan, so I guess I really do have some more attire options to consider for the SI.
As I approach, what will hopefully be my last stop in my career, I really have enjoyed thinking back to the days when I was at the beginning of my career and listening to my father and his 92 year old bagpiping instructor, squeal away, as I tried to study for the bar exam. It has certainly helped me put the impending DC testing in perspective.

I would love to see a male attorney rock a kilt in federal court. This isn't a kilt but it is another look that I would be unable to pull off at either the WD or SI. It would make an impression and I urge someone to try it out.

I would LOVE to wear the barrister costume in court!!!! The only time I put on heels is when there is a jury because they expect it. It would alleviate so much of trying to figure out what to wear.

The wig makes it so there are no worries about wind blown hair. Also, with Hamilton being popular right now this is really on trend. I'm wishing I had kept this trick up my sleeve to myself now.

My hair is almost this white now after being in this business for all these years and raising kids. Maybe I wouldn't even need a wig. Just some humidity.
