The Power Suit: Business Professional Dress that Makes a Statement

There’s a reason it’s called a “Power Suit”.  There is something amazing that happens to you, both mentally and physically, when you put on a sharp looking suit.  I stand taller and straighter, I carry myself with more confidence and I feel smart and important.  My husband even refers to me as “bossy pants” when I have on a suit.  I don’t often dress Business Professional at work, but because of how it makes me feel I will pull out Business Professional for important meetings and presentations.  Business Professional is the most formal business dress code and is most often seen in industries such as: banking, law, accounting, consulting, sales and other professional services.  It is also the dress code for most interviewing situations.

So, what does Business Formal/Professional look like?
