Dress to impress. More so when we know that first impressions are important when we are going into that important pitch meeting, or when we are trying to get clients on our side for the next big deal. Men always seem to have it easier when it comes to picking out professional work clothes, a well-tailored suit is always their best bet. However, because women have a wider variety of styles and designs to choose from, it is also easier for us to make mistakes.
