				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier this week I wrote about clothing and grooming for men in IT. I didn&#8217;t specify &#8220;men,&#8221; but it was a male-oriented article in which I mentioned that there were thousand of Web pages with fashion advice for women, and that I saw no point in adding my uninformed opinion to that huge body of advice. Since then, I&#8217;ve gotten a couple of emails that said I should at least provide a few links to sites that give sensible clothing and grooming advice to women who are <a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-ladder/">climbing the IT ladder</a>.<br />
 <span id="more-139"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Summer is a&#8217;coming in, so an article at Monster.com headlined <a href="http://career-advice.monster.com/in-the-office/workplace-issues/how-to-dress-for-success-this-spring-hot-jobs/article.aspx">How to Dress for Success in Warm Weather</a> is obviously something worth reading in June &#8212; and not just for women, either. Men may not want to follow this article&#8217;s advice on footgear, but ought to check its sensible talk about colors and fabrics.  </li>
<li>WomenForHire.com has an excellent article blandly titled <a href="http://womenforhire.com/advice/professional_dress_and_appearance_tips/">Professional Dress and Appearance</a> that contains both excellent, down-to-earth advice and links to several other useful articles about how to create and maintain a professional image without spending a fortune.</li>
<li>Need a decent-looking suit, as in for interviews but don&#8217;t have big money to spend? An article titled <a href="http://mechelepellebon.com/blog/how-to-buy-a-womans-suit-that-doesnt-look-cheap/">How to Buy a Woman’s Suit…That Doesn’t Look Cheap!</a> can help.</li>
<li>Good unisex clothing advice from About.com: <a href="http://careerplanning.about.com/cs/dressingforwork/a/dress_success.htm">Clothes Make the Man (or Woman); How to Dress for Work and Interviews</a>. Lots of links in this article, too. Follow them for more specific advice &#8212; for both men and women &#8212; on how to dress for almost any work or interview situation. </li>
<li>Journeywoman, a site that calls itself &#8220;The Premier Travel Resource for Women,&#8221; has an interesting collection of <a href="http://www.journeywoman.com/ccc/ccc-general.html">clothing and clothes-packing advice</a> that has as much to offer a traveling man as a traveling woman.</li>
</ul>
<p>Looking decent takes a little thought for both women and men. But not necessarily a whole lot, especially if you <a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-ladder/dress-for-it-success/">stick to a few basic colors</a> and, in general, try to keep your workday wardrobe simple and practical.</p>
