“Professional” Dressing

My mind, it doth boggle. 

A modern consultant to a law firm advises that necklaces (for women: draw undue attention to the bustline) and long ties (for men: drawing unwanted attention to their nether regions) are too sexually suggestive.

 Meanwhile women “might” have been advised to where heels because: “it helps them stand better and gives them height.”  And to pair these with skirts to: “embrace their femininity”.

Here is some information about heels and ’standing better’ (you can find full info via the American Society of Orthopedic Surgeons).

And here is some assistance from the Hepburns (Audrey and Katherine) in illustrating the horror of looking unfeminine in trousers.

Finally, the way in which a man clearly looks like a tramp when wearing a long tie.

And that, so to speak, is all I have to say about that.
