That would be typical office wear, so something like a pencil skirt, a blazer, or even a dress (although I don't think that is suitable in this case). What I've noticed in various women is that it depends on the fit and how you put yourself across. If you have loose clothing and have a lazy attitude (slumped shoulders and walks like a guy), then you could come across as a joker, or possibly even a little bit slutty. However, you also don't want very tight clothes, as that can usually have the same effect. So try something that fits nicely and make sure you are comfortable in it. If you are confident, they'll love you no matter what, trust me. That's what the employer told me when I did work experience.
