I would not recommend wearing a jacket with leather sleeves to an interview. Can't think of any circumstances for which it would be appropriate.

It depends on the professional setting and the context. What industry? ETA: I agree with others that probably not in an interview unless in a very creative field where looking fashionable is part of the job.

Not for an interview, but maybe at work depending on the culture of the office. My rule is to always dress more formally than you think the culture will be.

I was job hunting postpartum and invested in a new suit- it was well worth the money spent in order to advance my career. What really threw me off was the one potential employer who had the recruiter tell me specifically not to wear a suit. Fortunately I had a dress from my son's Baptism but there are really not that many options when you have a 3 month old!

i agree with PP. i wouldn't wear it to an interview, but depending on the culture and your style, I think it's fine to wear to the office. i work in the financial services industry, and I'd probably rock it!

I agree it's trendy, and not for an interview or professional setting. We have professional dress, and are in a very conservative office downtown DC where politics reign supreme. I wouldn't wear it to work.
