    I possess dudeness, so we're talking two buttons and pleats, not skirtage.

    From the looks of the suggestions I'll wear the suit. However, I think I'll leave the French cuff Burberry shirt at home and just opt for the plain jane white Brooks Brothers barrel cuff with a simple but powerful tie.

    Not allowed to dress better than the SE. Pretty hard to do at my job. I dress better than him when I'm sleeping.

    A nice blouse and skirt with heels seems appropriate. Works for women, too.

    Really? Even if it's just a simple little hoop?

    So I have to take the ones out of my eyebrows, lip, nose, nipples, navel and nether region? Damn, that's not fair!

    No less than a sport coat/nice shirt/slacks and tie ... a suit would be appropriate. Don't wear a tuxedo, unless you bring a top hat, cane and the tuxedo has tails. If you wear that, realize you will have to dance with the receptionist who may have boobs sagging to her knees.

    While I agree with SportsChick, it's difficult to find an affordable skirt suit 'round here. I went suit shopping with a MBA friend of mine at a local outlet mall, and she only looked at pantsuits. (Apparently no one in her office minds, since it's still a suit, and she's more comfortable not worrying about her hemline. ::)) I prefer skirts in general, but I might have to buy a pantsuit just because I want something new in my incredibly limited colder-weather business wardrobe. The major manufacturers must not want to see female legs in their offices!

    Some professions it's the opposite. I've got a female friend who is a young lawyer, and she was officially reprimanded by her bosses for not wearing a skirt to court one day. Apparently there is all kinds of research that shows female lawyers do significantly better in court when they're in a skirt.

    Always wear a padded bra if your nipples tend to swell up under pressure.
