Don't dress provocatively if you want to be viewed as a professional

Every day a woman wakes up to go to work, she decides how she wants to present herself to the world. Men do, too; but it’s different for them. Men’s choice of clothing is extremely limited: They pretty much wear a suit or a nice shirt and pants. Maybe a jacket.

Women, on the other hand, have a vast array of options and thus make clothing decisions for all kinds of environments. If a woman is going to a funeral, for example, she’ll dress in a somewhat subdued fashion. If she goes to a school function in which children are present, she’ll probably dress more modestly.
