If your business is formal, you need the right women's formal business-wear. Women's suits are appropriate and conservation.
- Suits: The keys to suits (either skirt suits or pantsuits) are fabric, fit and comfort. Choose suits with jackets and skirts that are appropriate for your body type.
- Don't make your skirt too tight, and don't make it too short. Business skirts typically are hemmed just around the knees.
- Blouses and shirts: What you wear with your suit is as important as the suit itself. Blouses made of transparent material are inappropriate. High-quality cotton and silk are good choices.
- Stockings and pantyhose: Pantyhose and stockings are both acceptable in the workplace. As long as they are matched to your other clothes, but are not heavily patterned. During warm months, if you feel comfortable doing so, going without pantyhose is fine.
- Shoes: Most women find that low-heeled pumps or flats are suitable for the majority of the business situations. Heels can be as high as 1 1/2 or 2 inches, but heels much higher than that look unprofessional.
- Suits: Get two or three made of wool and other blends for autumn and winter, and one made of cotton or tropic-weight wool for spring and summer.
- Pants: Traditional dress slacks. Always make sure they are ironed neatly and fit properly.
- Shirts: Long-sleeved white shirts and light blue shirts. There is no such thing as a short-sleeved dress shirt.
- Socks: Socks should be at least as dark as your suit or pants. Wear dark socks coordinated with the color of your suit.
- White socks are unacceptable in business. Wearing no socks is equally unacceptable.
- Shoes: Plain and cap-toed oxfords, wingtips and plain or tasseled loafers are the extent of men's choices for dress business shoes. Coordinate your shoe color with your suit color.
