I think it goes without saying that wearing black suits to the office is a no-go for men, but what about women, especially for interviews? I've noticed from my on-campus recruiting events that men are generally wearing navy or charcoal suits, but it is not uncommon for the women to be wearing black blazers with their dresses or a black pantsuit/skirt. I've heard mixed opinions about black pantsuits from people in law, consulting, and finance, so I wanted to know what the people who have experience in ib or consulting think.

Black is an acceptable option for women in most instances. Unlike men, we can wear different colored blouses/accessories to tone down the look. I've gone an entire career without owning a single navy or charcoal suit - the closest I've ever gotten is one in "dove grey" - and it has never been an issue.
For men, highly-saturated colors should be limited to accessories. Women don't have these restrictions when it comes to color palette, so black is fine.
If you really want the job, show up naked. MDs love transparency ;)
who doesn't...
Back office people, lol.
Black is fine and also blue, burgundy, or gray all work well
Black, blue, and gray are all acceptable for ladies. Also purple (according to my predecessor).
Yes, Black is ok for women. NOT for men, please remember. Charcoal, really dark grey, blu, navy blue are welcome, not black for office.
Buying Shoes for women
Black colour suits on women.
There is a great match between me and my wife that was we like to wear same color dresses. My wife likes to wear black dresses. When she wear black tops with high heel she look really mind blowing. In fact, should not be confined to the eyes of the perversions, but should also be considered from the mind.
Wait, I don't follow. How come you try on your wife's dresses?
