Job interview...

I once saw a bloke rock up to a drink drive charge wearing a Jim Beam shirt and a hat with a pot leaf on it.... The Magistrate noted that any semblance of remorse was not reflected in the outfit.... As a witness, you want to seem credible. Job interview, wedding, funeral kinda clothing, good idea.... Ug boots, trackie dacks?

Nope

As sexist as it is of me to say so, I suggest...
Dress for business, not a night club.
Keep your skirt long and your shirt front high.
Low heels.
