Product Description
Product Description
In the list of life’s big questions, “What should I wear?” can loom surprisingly large in a woman’s mind. But for most of us today, “What should I wear to work?” looms even larger.
When workplaces encompass everything from the thirtieth-floor boardroom to an open-plan loft to a desk in the corner of a studio, the question gets complicated indeed. Lands’ End® Business Attire for Women will help you quickly and confidently assess your workplace and your style, so you’ll always know exactly what to wear to work.
One size does not fit all, of course, and this book is full of self-assessment quizzes, sample outfits to inspire and inform, and a broad spectrum of choices so you can always be confident that you are appropriately dressed. Based on the ABC model, Lands’ End® Business Attire for Women divides workplace style into Almost a Suit ensembles, Best of Both Worlds blendings, and Clearly Casual combos.
With the right image in mind and the right clothing in your closet—or on your shopping list—you can create a system of dressing that not only saves you time and money but also expresses your ambitions and your sense of style.
From “Pants to Avoid” to business travel checklists and advice for recent college grads, Lands’ End® Business Attire for Women will guide you toward a working wardrobe that is appropriate, flexible, and flattering. It’s a practical, down-to-earth, and eminently sensible guide to dressing for work with a sense of style and fun, leaving you lots of time for life’s bigger questions.

Great guide to updated working wardrobe, Jun 15 2005
By B. Eidson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lands' End Business Attire for Women: Mastering the New ABCs of What to Wear to Work (Hardcover)
Enjoyed the book--something for everyone from new hire to veteran. Visually interesting, good descriptions, as up-to-date as possible.
But Beware: Publisher needs a fact-checker. A prominent story about the Colorado Surpreme Court passing a dress-code for attorneys is bogus. It was an April Fool's prank in 2001 circulated by the Colorado Bar Assn. As this book was published in 2004, the author and others had 3 years to find the error prior to publication.
Listmania!
