Women's Business Fashion... Can't Fake It

The saying goes that every person should dress for the job they want, not the job that they already have, and the fact is, this saying is true. What this cliche inevitably fails to leave out is that when you don't have a job that pays very well, it can sometimes be hard to dress very well.

The thing about women's business fashion is that it is not easy to fake it. A cheap forty dollar suit does not look the same as a well made four hundred dollar suit. And when you are working with, or under, people who do dress very well, they are very willing and able to know the difference.

I think what is most important is just to look clean, neat, and professional. Don't wear anything sexy, wrinkled, or tattered and you should be okay. If you are trying to go to work in a sleeveless high-cleavage top with holes in it, you are not going to send the right message.
