[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who’ve been or are from there, what is appropriate for a 45 year old woman to wear while at business meetings, dinners, outings and sightseeing?[/quote]

I spent years doing business there, with the military and in the defense industry.  I mention that because it skews conservative and your industry might be less so.  Wear business suits, either skirts or slacks.  Don't wear bold or loud prints.  Hair neat, and if very long, consider pulling it back or up.  Make sure you take business cards with both hands.   If you're the boss, sit in the middle of the table.  If you're not, don't--or sit at the right hand of your boss.

For dinner, wear a nice dress or silk blouse/slacks.  Don't show cleavage if you want to be taken seriously.  (Not that easy for me, I look like a barbie doll.  Well, an old one.  But jeez)

For tourist stuff, doesn't really matter.  Whatever is comfortable.  Shopping is great in both places if you have time, and if you are a smaller size.  [/quote]
