For most business meetings women I know prefer an understated at knee length dress or an understated feminine suit. The rationale is as follows: the simple dress ( navy, gray, brown, camel, burgundy)of knee length is seen as authoritative and a powerful look ( not sexy) . Pant suits can be tricky and need some touch of femininity because “men - like suits” will “threaten “ or turn off some men in a meeting.<br /> I know someone who is high up in a man’s world and realized early on a gray or navy sheath type dress helped the message stay in the forefront and will only wear them for meetings. If she is dressed in a pants or skirt suit on a day when a meeting is called- depending on audience she will remove jacket. As she said- you want to be taken seriously and get the message across not seeing “ comic bubbles” over audience’s head saying - sexy outfit, wow that color is hot/ bright etc, my gf /wife would look great in that. Thinks she makes a lot of sense. Too bad it’s still like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-attire#post-1944105 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 10:38:33 +0000 kkards 1944105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lose what?</p> <p>minnaheadsure...can you give us some details?&nbsp;<br />is the setting business formal, business casual, tech casual? large meeting, small meeting? are you presenting, leading or just attending? are you in the northern hemisphere and need summerwear? do you prefer pants, dressees, skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-attire#post-1944079 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 08:13:04 +0000 minnaheadsure 1944079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys, can you please suggest some attire that is suitable for a business meeting.
