+1 on bare legs.

I abhor hose. Won't wear them. I think I might be allergic to them (seriously). My ob/gyn banned me from wearing them. Generally, I just go bare legged (I do live in the South). If I have to go to court, I wear pants.

I would actually be offended if a place of business required their female employees to wear hose. I would wear a pantsuit to an interview. I've hired people who came in skirt suits with bare legs - I don't care one way or the other.
