BNET, now owned by CBS, is a portal for a variety of business related information. This particular link goes to five related pages about dressing for success, including a 20 min video of 'before/after' encounters with a stylist.

If you just want to see the video.

Be aware, BNET subscribes log in and comment on all material on the site. Some of the comments are *very* frank.

"Business casual is crisp, neat, and should look appropriate even for a chance meeting with a CEO. It should not look like cocktail or party or picnic attire. Avoid tight or baggy clothing; business casual is classic rather than trendy."

A Vermont career center page. General guidelines for both genders are included.

"An article in U.S.A. Today spoke about candidates for jobs wearing jeans, purple sweat suits, and spike heels or sneakers. Other applicants weren't afraid to show pierced body parts and spiked hair. Still others chewed gum or showed up in rumpled clothes or with their pants falling down. One recruiter even told a candidate with his trousers down below his hips, to "Pull your pants up." According to the article, the outlandish dress costs some candidates the job."

From About.com, this is a collection of articles and videos on the website. I found this less useful than the previous two sites but your mileage may vary. It does, however, include links to multiple resources on dress and other job related issues (interviewing skills, etiquette).

Focused exclusively on Men's Wear. Without a doubt one of the most thorough websites covering cut and fit of men's clothing. Costs of items on the site range from about $500 - $25,000. Obviously written for a different audience, the recommendations about clothing can apply to purchasing off the rack as well. At least you'll know why it bunches at the shoulder.

"A wide range of clothing styles can be appropriate for women to wear to an interview. The women above are dressed in an array of potential interview dress. Read various positive and negative comments from various recruiters."

Similar to the BNET site, this page includes comments from professional recruiters about each person displayed, with the outfits ranked.

"Dress’ Speak n., often cap [United States, colloquial] (1978):
a phrase used to express how clothing and the way it is tailored and worn translates into a personal statement"

This site has no pictures and almost no bullet lists of rules. So why is it here? Of them all, this article puts the corporate culture front and center. Basically, the idea that business dress depends on where you work. It doesn't help much for the interview (unless you use the strategy I suggest of showing up the day before and noting how people who are exiting the building at 5:30 are dressed and what car they get in) but I liked the fact that this site placed the norms of the group you are trying to enter right in the article.
