Now with a bit more experience as a woman engineer, I’d feel comfortable wearing dark jeans to dress down the biz casual blouse (I’m really not a t-shirt person). Black ponte pants would also work, if I steered away from the standard “dressy casual” flats (or god forbid heels, seriously don’t wear heels for a Silicon Valley eng interview). I’d wear Euro-chic sandals if possible, or Chelsea boots in winter, maybe a casual-looking slip-on loafer. It’s tough for me to toe the line of being *slightly* dressier than my probably-male interviewers without calling attention to being a Well-Dressed Woman.

Also, all this experience is in California… if I were interviewing at the NYC or London offices of my current Big Tech company, I’d happily bump up to any form of unisex-ish business casual sans suit. The male engineers actually know how to dress there.

It’s linked under the bottom picture where it says “navy dress”. Comes in other colors!

Adding in the links now — I’ll do that dress first. :)

Yes, link please! It is a gorgeous dress.
