    Meaning usually, one color, jacket and trousers match or at the very least, coordinate well. A suit would always be same color top and bottom. hirebookkeeper

    Black dress pants, white or colored button down shirt, black cardigan sweater, black dress shoes. Think matchy-matchy…your clothes shouldn’t be the focus of attention. Is there any way you can catch a peek at what the other employees wear?

    Best Wishes!

    Whoa, hm. I would ask the boss. I don’t think it’s a bad or naive question – you are trying to understand the corporate culture, and you want to be respectful. It’s a very good question.

    And you don’t want to misinterpret, and go out and buy a ton of new stuff that you don’t love, only to find out that your closet full of “you” was perfectly appropriate, with just the addition of a jacket, or nicer shoes.

    It sounds like this is a firm that dresses “up,” probably a lot of high income client contact or visibility. So clarification direct from the company will help you a lot! Elizabeth99

    In one word, Conservative. Buy things that will present you as very business like . This means blue , grey, black or brown. No low cut or revealing clothes , black or brown shoes, no thongs or peep toes. and moderate make up and jewelry. Ex; watch, wedding ring and simple small earrings. Mary N
