<p>I would say tuck in, only in case you are interviewed by a non-fashionista person(s). Untucked is fine in today’s styles, but to anyone who doesn’t know that… would look sloppy or disrespectful.</p>
<p>I guess your mom is fashion forward :D.</p>
<p>Tucked in seems to be making a bit of a comeback in general.</p>
<p>The model in that picture in your link is wearing it untucked in and it looks fine. Just a thought. though my instinct would be to tuck in too.</p>
<p>My mom thinks I’m much more conservative for these things than her, but I always vote for skirt and tucked in. I think it could only look more professional if everything is really well tailored (in which case it’d probably look nice and trendy), but tucked in with a nice tailored shirt and pencil skirt always looks sleek and nice.</p>
<p>As to whether or not to tuck the shirt in: Is the bottom finished (straight, even hem)? Or is it rounded like a man’s shirt (which should be tucked in)? Since a pencil skirt is a very structured item of clothing with a tailored waistband/belt/buckle, the shirt should really be tucked in. An untucked shirt is more informal and would be more appropriate with pants.</p>
<p>Do what makes you comfortable for the interview… let dad drop you off with it untucked, duck into bathroom and change if you feel that’s better. This is <em>your</em> job interview.
Sounds cute and professional to me either way. I was going to suggest a belt over the untucked shirt as a compromise but I’m 50 and you probably want advice from someone 28…</p>
<p>Tucked with a nice wide belt over it would look great and show a dash of style.</p>
