I'm not a strictly speaking technical person, but I often work with technical people (I do UX research, and am finishing my graduate work in HCI). For me it has come down to two wardrobes: blazers and slacks for presentations and client-facing days, jeans and witty tshirts for days with the development team.

In terms of attractiveness, there is a world of difference between someone who understands how to dress their own body type and someone who doesn’t. This is not about following trends: it is about understanding appropriate fit/color, keeping clothing neat and well-maintained and understanding how to create appropriate, professional outfits. This is not about price, either: you can find quality clothing at an expensive boutique or at a thrift store, if you understand what kinds of pieces to look for. Similarly, find hairstyles that work well for you. If you’re female, find a good happy medium with makeup (a good rule of thumb is just enough to play up your best features but not enough to make someone notice you’re wearing any), and find the right colors for your skin tone. If you don’t know how or don’t like these things, find a friend you trust to help you. Watch a few episodes of “What Not To Wear”. If you have the money, you could hire a consultant to help, the way Penelope did. [...] [...] Dress conscientiously.

I just feel it, because I also do. I think I won't have as much problem as you did because anyone could teach me how to walk and I would. Anyone,maybe especially if someone like Allison would teach me the makeup essentials and I would remember. But then again, I might rather end up wearing sweatshirts than those expensive dresses they expect you to wear. Jonha Hi Penelope,

I'm sure wardrobe is the last problem in your mind that you'd ever want to face. I just feel it, because I also do. I think I won't have as much problem as you did because anyone could teach me how to walk and I would. Anyone,maybe especially if someone like Allison would teach me the makeup essentials and I would remember. But then again, I might rather end up wearing sweatshirts than those expensive dresses they expect you to wear.
