First Ever In-Person TC Interview -- What to wear? (Female)

Hi all! I've got my first ever interview for a TC next week, it is a mid-size UK firm and I'm not sure what to wear. I've got black slacks, a white button up top and some flats, would that be acceptable attire? Should I get a blazer? Thanks!
Hi!

Congratulations on the interview, that is amazing news!!

That sounds like a great outfit, and would definitely be appropriate for a TC interview in my opinion. Black slacks and a white button-up are very standard interview attire, and flats are usually perfectly fine as long as they look smart!

A blazer can be nice to have as it makes the outfit feel a bit more polished, but it is definitely not essential if the rest of your outfit already looks professional and put together (and I wouldn't buy one for the sake of the interview!).

Good luck with your interview!! :)
