From presenting your own ideas to new clients to exchanging ideas with your colleagues, dressing the part in the right business meeting outfits up your sleeve is key success within the office.
So, what makes for an appropriate business meeting ensemble? We asked Lauren McGoodwin, founder and CEO of Career Contessa, for her best office-friendly fashion advice. “I recommend a great power suit or blazer. Of course, a great blowout never hurts, either,” she tells us.
