Q&A for How to Dress (for Businesswomen)

Be patient when you're shopping so you find the best deals. Instead of buying something you like immediately, wait and see what else is out there.

I would say every woman needs a classic, crisp white shirt. Probably a button-down, but at least some version of the classic, crisp white shirt. I also think every woman needs a black blazer, a pencil skirt, and a traditional grey or black slack (could be a cigarette ankle pant or a boot cut pant, depending on body type). Every woman also needs a little black dress that's sophisticated and work-appropriate.

Be patient, and shop often. If you find something you really like in-store, hold off and see what else is out there in case there's a better deal. You can also get really great deals by joining the email lists of different clothing brands. There are shops that will do 50-60% off sales, and you’ll only know about it if you’re on the email lists.

You can get your hair in a neat bun by putting your hair in a ponytail and wrapping the hair around the elastic. Then, put another elastic around the hair. It helps if the elastic is the same color as your hair. You can also put a clip around the bun. If your hair is not long enough to put into a braid without hair poking out then try a different hairstyle. If your hair if frizzy, you can brush static guard onto your hair before you do it.
