Business Dressing - Basic Don'ts

"Don'ts" for men and women to consider in basic business dressing in business settings.

BASIC DON'TS
Avoid in business settings:
1.  Mismatched or clashing ensembles.
2.  Exaggerated future trends in grooming or apparel.
3.  Too much fragrance.
4.  Clothes that are too tight, too loose or too revealing (don't get me started on cleavage...)
5.  Wearing running shoes.
6.  Bragging about or displaying your designer-label clothing.
7.  Outfits that aren't fundamentally "you."  Contrived fashions (for example, western duds on a city person) may look ridiculous.
8.  For men - socks that allow bare leg to show at the bottoms of slacks.
9.  For women - dressy fabrics more suitable for evening wear (satin, cut velvet, lame, brocade); also, stocking runs or straps that show.

These are a few suggestions, but we are just getting started!
