I think views have relaxed more about trouser suits. I can't really remember the last time I wore a skirt, so I'd be comfortable with trousers in an interview situation now.
As long as they're neat and tidy and go with everything else, and the appearance is one of groomed respectability (without the low unbuttoned blouse!) I don't think what an interviewee wears is of too much importance.
Be interesting, though, to know what others think.
