You need to look clean and put-together, OP, whoever you consort with. Casual means a style (like jeans and a large sweater), it doesn't mean schlumpy (jeans must fit your figure, sweater mustn't pill).

Pay attention to your body: nice clean arch to your brows (don't overpluck), as clear, glowing skin as you can for your skin type and age, soft hands and clean nails, healthy hair. It helps to be reasonably fit and slim. These basics are so important.

If you select something that's edgy, like long nails, or over-the-knee boots, or wild colors of make-up/polish/hair dye, or particularly deep decolletee, whatever it is, remember to have the rest of you be more conservative, otherwise you'll look weird.

OMG! Never choose long nails! That’s a like a blasting neon sign that you are not UMC. I have never met a single UMC woman who has long nails—but their assistants certainly do! [/quote]
This. The longest I have seen on an UMC professional woman are like Melania Trump's nails. Slightly longer than fingertip length, rounded, and painted pale. That still looks elegant. Most have Kate Middleton nails which are fingertip length, rounded, and not polished.[/quote]

I have seen many UMC women have longer nails, but they generally dont work in DC and are in more fashion forward fields like entertainment, PR, fashion etc and live in places like New York or Los Angeles.  But yeah, youre not gonna find many feds with long acrylics[/quote]

Nyc finance, sales, crypto, media umc millennial and gen z women have longer nails.

Yep.  For many of these UMC women, it's a status symbol.  "Look at my job and how i can afford to pay for these elaborate nails and am allowed to wear whatever the F I want at work and still make bank."  Same thing with dying your hair elaborate colors.  It's conspicuous consumption.  But it's definitely not the DC government worker crowd[/quote]

It’s kind of that but not at the same time. Nyc is straight up more international só style cues will have a more international flavor..and in style capitals abroad, umc women totally have longer nails.

And op is an international woman, not a basic white woman. That has benefits big time if you play to your strengths

Nothing "basic" about being a white woman, but yeah.  I'm talking more about LA style and NYC as well which is all about conspicuous status.  Miami as well.  And the long nails are in big time as are unique hair colors.  It's kind of a power play. [/quote]

Yeah I agree, my younger sister (29) is a corporate lawyer in another city and was getting those pointy acrylics for a while.  I think it was sort of like "I'm so good at my job, I can have edgy nails and no one can tell me anything" kind of thing.  I think for it to work the rest of your style needs to be a little more fashion-forward (which hers is).  I'm a 36yo fed lawyer and am firmly in the short rounded camp, as is every other female lawyer here in DC basically.

Anyway, I wouldn't expect any straight man to appreciate those nuances and I think your nails can look however they want, OP[/quote]

Who attracted higher caliber men, her or you? [/quote]

I have a friend with long nails and she's always dating extremely "high caliber" men[/quote]
