***These are the guidelines I use for professional dress
Men: Dark suits, White shirts,
conservative ties, socks, shoes that will hold a shine and a belt that
matches the shoes. They will also need a white t-shirt to wear under
the dress shirt.
Females: Business suits (I
explain the difference between a business suit and a dress suit), conservative
business dresses, hosiery, closed toe and closed heel conservative pumps,
and a slip or other appropriate undergarments.
