I have a skirt suit and I would NEVER go to an interview without hose. I am in hot Texas but I love hose the right kind support your legs and reduce fatigue while still not looking like support hose. I used to sell panties, bras and hosiery and learned why a good pair of hose it worth the tag.

I have seen plenty of companies that require hose, it does not seem weird at all to me. Of course at my work they are not required but I will not being wearing skirts because we can't have visible tattoos and I have one on my ankle.
Like several others here, I wear pantyhose to any interview for any job that particularily if you expect to be paid well/decently or negotiating a good salary. Particularily jobs that require you to meet clients who themselves are professionals also or you are expected in pull at least $$$$ revenue for the company.

And I notice myself...the interviewers are wearing pantyhose themselves.

Sure, many of us have nicely shaped/toned cycling legs, but my legs bruise easily and I also have leg skin that tends to be dry even if I've put on lots of body lotion several hrs. before. Pantyhose gives my legs an overall smooth look for a dressier outfit/skirt. I don't own any casual skirts at this time in life, only dress skirts.

After the job interview and if you get the job, if the work culture permits it, sure bare legs under a skirt that hits just above the knee for work or longer, looks ok.

A concession to wearing pantyhose even in hot climates, is incredibly small, folks. It's not like being asked to wear a head covering in an fundamentalist Islamic country.

Or being a firefighter wearing rubberized turnout gear jackets in hot climates, fighting a fire... many other situations where people in certain jobs work in FAR more difficult environmental conditions.
