[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP, but another thing to consider when working with a lot of men is that they likely aren't paying  close attention to the details.  As long as your overall look is put-together, professional, and not otherwise too memorable, you can get a lot of runway out of a few basics.  I have 2-3 colors of the same dresses that I like in not-loud colors (black, navy, jewel tones) and I cycle through those, changing up my accessories for variety (sweaters or blazers are another option).  I've found Boden and Ann Taylor to be good for this.  [/quote]

This 100%.  You could wear the same black pants every day and they would not notice because they have a closet full of identical pants.  The big question is if you are more comfortable in pants or skirts.  I personally prefer pants as my legs get cold plus then I don’t have to worry about whether my legs look good (men will notice if you have spider veins, scars, blotchy legs but will never notice if you wear pants every day).  
I would get 3 pairs of dress pants in black/navy/charcoal from BR, j crew, Ann Taylor or Talbots — whatever fits you best.  Just basic dress pants in a straight leg or slightly wide leg.  
Nocer quality white tee from j crew, Biden or lands end to wear under blazers.
A blazer — j crew has fine ones if you don’t want to shop around.
A couple nicer button downs in no iron cotton or silk — something like a light blue or dove grey or blush pink is easy to wear frequently.   I like bright colors but if you wear plum or emerald or bright red very often, people will notice it more.
