Women wearing skirt suits are viewed as more successful than those wearing trouser suits favoured by powerful women such as Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel, scientists have found.
They are seen as the uniform of the high-flying career businesswoman, but it seems trouser suits are not the best way to make a good first impression.
Research has revealed women who wear skirts and jackets are viewed as more confident, higher-earning and more flexible than those opting for a trouser suit.

Your imagination is usually greater than our reality, so that’s fine.
It may surprise you to know that not all men go around ogling every woman in sight 24 hours a day.
I must be doing it all wrong then...wearing thongs at business meetings is what gets me fired.
I dunno...skirts are in their way a lot sexier than pants. I mean, if pants are so tight that a man can see her butt, they’re too tight for business. A skirt does emphasize the way a woman’s hips move, but both trousers and skirts should have the butt covered with the suit jacket.
The trouble with pantsuits is that they are the uniform of young woman lawyers. A lot of people do not like women lawyers and that look bothers them. Also, on a petite woman, pantsuits look cute, and in the business world a competent woman doesn’t want to look any cuter than she already is.
Really, skirts are the way to go when you want to run the show. Or just show that you’re competent. Nothing beats a good Brooks Brothers suit.
“I like skirts. They cover the butt. When a woman wears pants, men are just staring at her butt when she walks away. With a skirt... well... they still stare, but they can’t really see as much.”
Skirt is not tight enough, apparently.
I've always thought so, but maybe it's because I was brought up in a time when girls and women customarily wore skirts and dresses every day.
I'm really turned off by the masculinization of women.
If they don't they sure as hell ought to. LOL
Maybe we can get Eaker to model one. If that mental picture don't make you wake up in a cold sweat nothing will.
Best,

Please, any woman with Hillary Clinton-type ankles should stick with pants. Young, cute, shapely women look great in skirts and might as well flaunt it while they can. Unless it’s cold outside, then they should opt for pants.
When I began my working career, women in pants was unheard of. It was dresses/suits, hose, heels and I mean high heels. I’m glad young women today have these options.
I agree, skirts over slacks, IF you have the legs for it.
Or, even shirts, apparently.....ugh...
You may have a point there.
There are good reasons why Clinton and Merkel wear pantsuits.....and I thank them for not wearing skirts.
interesting.
Hey!
I’m right here!
Dude, this pic required warning before posting.
Actually, skirts are a lot cooler than pants.
True that. Some are gay.
Laz would hit that.
