You have a way of looking polished, cheerful and energetic that I really admire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-30#post-1567485 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 01:26:32 +0000 Anonymous 1567485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you are lecturing, as opposed to doing a smaller group sit-down with students, I would think you should dress on the more formal side of what is day-to-day attire for your particular field.<br />You know best what that level of formality is for your profession, but as some examples:<br />If you're in advertising or tech, or venture capital on the west coast. the jeans and leather jacket would seem appropriate. &nbsp;<br />If you're a lawyer, accountant, Fortune 1000 exec, I would agree with your husband that a business suit seems most appropriate.<br />For most other situations, your #1 or #2 sounds just right.<br />I'm sure your talk will be so engaging, no one will even notice what you are wearing. &nbsp;;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-30#post-1567477 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 00:54:11 +0000 Bijou 1567477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The main objective of your clothing when presenting to an audience is to make you look credible in your field. &nbsp;So if you are an Accountant, then you would want to wear a conservative suit, if you are an Artist, something more avant garde would be appropriate. As a default,&nbsp;I would go with the dress + suit jacket option too as long as it is something that you feel confident in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-30#post-1567467 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 00:38:05 +0000 Murph11 1567467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress + Jacket!

GAH. All is good, but it's snuck up on me and this coming week I am guest lecturing at the local B school.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do I wear??&nbsp;</p> <p>Hubby's saying I should wear a suit. Is that overkill?&nbsp;</p> <p>Options:</p> <p>1. Dress + suit jacket<br />2. Dress + sweater<br />3. Jacket + dark wash jeans or ponte knit pants (i.e., smart casual)</p> <p>No skirts or dress pants as they are packed away until we move next month. No time to shop for anything new. I do have plenty of options remaining in my pared-down closet, but they all fall into the 3 categories above.&nbsp; </p>
