I like candidates to be wearing something that they are comfortable in. If you are a suit person, wear a suit. But even if you don't wear a suit,wear corporate dress attire, (I am a large built, don't do suits, but have always worn corporate skirts and tops for interviews). I also don't expect a lady to be in heels unless she is comfortable in them..
Oh and DMB reminded me about shoes. I wear heels (3 -4 inches) because my pants are cut for that length. I hardly ever wear flats to work, anyway. Wear whatever you would wear to work.
I usually wear pants and a shirt/top with small heels or ballet flats (am a teacher too) I don't generally wear heels so would look silly and wouldn't be able to walk in them which would be a giveaway I don't own a suit jacket so in cooler weather would be a cardigan and in summer a nice with short or tee sleeves.
I wear black shoes with a black suit. And pastels are fine under a black suit I think. A blouse is fine. I don't necessarily wear a shirt type blouse under a suit as I think it looks harsh. Anything neutral coloured should be fine.
