[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I work in Big 4 consulting in Finance, and let me tell you, the Director/Partner track women are not super well put together. Their personal lives are falling apart (men and women both) and their appearance is also slightly disheveled. Maybe its a different story at McKinsey or something, but if you're at the PWCs of the world you've nothing to worry about."

Same is true for Big Law and places like Bain, at least in D.C. I don't see much beyond Tory Burch shoes, LV Neverfills, and perhaps an occasional St John jacket. And I promise you, no man who will be making the decision to promote you is going to know the difference between Max Mara and JCrew.

I suggest you put a bit of money into leather. Buy some decent shoes - Cole Haan is fine. I like Stuart Weitzman and Taryn Rose. And a bag. Black. Good leather. No obviously designer label. Something in the $300-600 range is great.[/quote]

I’m a going to agree with you, I’ve worked at a big 4 accounting firms and the women who are either Partners or Directors look a bit dish shoveled. Not all but a lot do. I’m use to seeing partners with a JCrew out fit neat hair but when it comes to shoes it’s more sensible with a nice leather bag.

The women who tend to dress up more are in marketing , hr (going to include recruiting with HR), internal accounting and executive assistants tend to be better dressed than some of the Partners or Directors. [/quote]

I see exactly the same thing at my company. The marketing, HR, internal accounting (e.g., AP and AR), types dress better than the Partner/Director/VP types.
