I've put my time in at one company and am interviewing for a management position in the same department at a different company. I'm 23F that generally dresses feminine if not a little androgynous. I have PCOS (which causes excess hair growth) & also just naturally dark, thick hair. I stopped shaving my legs years ago because I hated spending so much time/money on hair removal, and I honestly don't mind having hairy legs at all. I'm wearing cropped pants for my interview, so should I shave my legs? It's not noticable at a very quick glance but any longer and you'd notice. I'm confident in my skills for this job but just wondering if it would be interpreted as "unprofessional." But, I genuinely love my leg hair and don't want to undo years of progress. just to clarify: I REALLY want to wear these pants because they fit me well and I'm very confident in them. Also, it's like 90 degrees wear I live and I don't want to die from heat stroke. I understand this is a stupid question but just honestly curious about your opinions.
