Corporate Dressing Tips for Women A suit with a skirt or pants, or a business dress is acceptable for women’s business wear. Skirts should normally fall to the knees but can also be just a little bit above or below. Make sure that the skirt is not too tight or that it does not feature a high slit. If the skirt is see-through, wear a slip underneath. When wearing a skirt or pants, the top layer should be a well-tailored buttoned shirt or sweater. Do not choose a top that is too tight, low-cut or see-through. The color and pattern of the top should be subtle and complimentary. Avoid garish colors. When wearing a skirt, always wear stockings underneath. Stockings should not feature any print but they may be sheer to some degree. Black, grey or a skin-colored pair is acceptable. Bring along an extra pair as a backup if the original stockings tear. Choose a light perfume in small amounts or a fresh body spray. Avoid heavy, floral perfumes. Makeup should be a light and neutral daytime look. Keep nails well trimmed and glossed with a clear or light polish. Carry either a handbag or a briefcase, but not both. Shoes should be flat or with low heels. Make sure to clean them in advance. Avoid very high heels or shoes that are difficult to walk in, and also refrain from choosing sandals and evening shoes with open toes. Accessories, such as scarves or belts, should be simple and chosen to compliment the look. Keep the jewelry simple and reasonable. A single modest stud or small hoop on each ear is normally acceptable for women. A classic necklace or a simple ring and watch can complete the look. Take care not to wear too much jewelry.
