[QUOTE="Jane Smith, post: 111230, member: 7481"] It has never been as easy for women as men on these issues. I never wore make up in the office and was at a leading MC firm. (I work for myself now so can wear what I like). Other women feel they do want to wear make up and I think some surveys found women who wear some make up earn more than women who don't. I would say do what you want on that front (within reason - avoid anything over the top but no make up is fine if like me you don't like wearing it). No bare legs or arms probably just feels more professional in my view. Men don't go into the office or court with bare arms or legs. I have certainly seen young female lawyers with bare legs or thin strappy tops but I just thin it is best to be on the safe side and avoid that if you can. For court (a different issue) then I always had a black jacket and still do. For every day it would be better not to be standing out with the brightest clothes anyone has on. However I have worn my fair share of bright jackets. Eg I had an orange jacket worn with a black skirt for conference presentations at one point where in a way I did want to stand out. [/QUOTE]
