How do the American office men and women dress themselves when they go to work?

Usually, an executive in an undertaking establishment goes to his job in a somber dark suit,with black shoes and socks and conservative tie.A recent college graduate begining a caeeer in a conservative business establishment and owning a wardrobe oaf jeans,work shirts, and T shirts will have to invezst in some new clothes. The beszt way to choose such purchase is first to take a good look at "What everyone else is wearing" in that office . In certain kinds of business the men wear only suits of a conservative nature with whhite shirts and dark ties;in others, men wear blazers and quiet pattern sport jackets. In some institutions women know instinctively to wear shirts(there are no rules posted saying they should not wear pants).In some other types of jobs women wear pants-well cut, well fitting onesfreely, and in certian other jobs that demand physical cativity pants are almost a necessity.

In conservative business such as banks and financial institutions,insurance companies, foundatoin and corporate headquarters, men and women should have one fashon dictate and one only: to dress in a good taste.Good taste does not require a major investment in desiginer originals;good taste means dressing in an understated rather overstated mannner and without flamboyance and faddishness. A men who likes to wear his sports shirt open with a chain and a pendant around his neck keeps this look for his weekend time; to the office he wears a pinstripe suit.A woman who chooses a sundress in summer with bare legs and open toe high heeled sandals keeps this look for her personal time; to the office she wears a fresh cotton dress that is elegant and modest; to the office she wears and sandals with practiacl heels. Men and women wh have their eyes on their careers dress carefully; they have wardrobes that are chosen wisely and well. How they dress on their owntime is their own business. How they dress on their compan time is not, if they project an image that is contraty to the one that is desired by their company.

One of the problem cerceer people have is dressing for the office in the morning when there will be an evening engagement immediately following, and no time to return home to change. The easiestsolution is to keep a full set of toiletries and make up stored some where at the office. Awomam going to an evening party should dress in the morning in one of her "basic dress"--the kind that can change into a different look with an added scarf or jewelry. In fifteen minutes, wen her office day has ended,she can model herself into another person with freshly cleaned teeth, combed hair, a new face, a different and dressier pair of shoes, and some sparkly jewelry.If she must wear a long dress for the party. she should bring it into the office in a protective bag and store it safely until she has to put it on.
