i'd skip the sweater, and wear a nice dress shirt. also, wear some nice classic earrings and a necklace. -- nm - Andie Nov 2, 07:53 5
- The problem I have with this is I hate turning into a robot, looking like everyone else with a pearl necklack and dress shirt. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 2, 07:55 4

I like the idea of the sweater but I would err on the side of caution. Women have more flexibility in this area, I think. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 2, 07:50

Business formal means a suit -- items of clothing that are made of the same material and that were purchased as a set. -- nm - mara Nov 2, 07:49
Personally, I wouldn't get cute with "business formal", especially not as a younger candidate. That's just me. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 07:48
