[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 110792, member: 7481"] Very good advice above. I am an old lawyer (and female). My only additional points are that no matter how hot it is in July don't have bare legs and bare arms and I would not plaster make up on too thick if you wear it at all. If you have time and live near London you could also pop into London the week before, if you have time, and sit with a coffee near the entrance to the firm and see what women who are lawyers are wearing there (no one would see), check your route to the firm and just feel a bit more confident about going there. (If you live 100 miles away this might be a silly idea of course). You can certainly have different shoes for travel into work and to change before you get into the office or change once there. I have done that before. I have never had lots of outfits by the way. I used to have two sets of something like a suit - jacket and skirt or whatever and just alternate them. However I appreciate lots of women want lots of different clothes and to be seen in different things (my two daughters are solicitors and I am sure have many more varieties of clothes than I had with my simple two suit uinform day in day out which involves no thought and I prefer).
