Although fashion changes the little details, the essential core of formal office attire has really not changed much in decades. Dressing business formal is in some ways easier than in business casual, because the parameters are a lot narrower and well-defined. Both genders are typically expected to wear suits, typically in neutral colors (as described above). In general, men and women wear the following:  For men: Formal suit, dress shirt, dress shoes, tie. Sometimes dressy slacks and sport coat are acceptable alternatives for a business suit. Often a shirt without an outer garment is acceptable. For women: business suit with skirt, blazer, blouse, dress shoes. Pants are also acceptable. A conservative dress may be substituted for a suit. Suits should be tailored for fit. Solid colors or pinstripes, and in good condition. Skirt suits should be knee-length and not too tight. Shirts should be typically solid or pinstriped, tailored for fit, laundered, and ironed if required.  Long sleeves are always more formal. Short sleeves are typically acceptable for spring and summer. However, some workplaces and cultures frown on bare arms. Women typically should steer away from sleeveless shirts if unsure if they are accepted or not. In some regions sleeveless shirts (but not one with straps, such as halter tops) are considered perfectly acceptable. In others, they are not considered appropriate. Tank tops, camisoles, tube tops, strapless tops amd  "spaghetti strap" tops are not office formal clothing. Men should match shirt to tie. Women have to be extra careful in the cut and fit of office tops. Put bluntly, (especially for full-figured women) the bustline must be fitted properly so that it is not too revealing, too tight, or otherwise exposing more of the breasts so it is inappropriate. If your blouse gaps at the buttons of the bustline, the shirt does not fit you properly. Fabric or "fashion" tapes can be purchased to hold blouses in the right position. Ties can allow for some color and pattern in an outfit that would be rather drab. It attracts attention, so be very careful in what you choose. Not all ties are appropriate for business formal dress code.  Opt for either solid color, or have a small (no larger than a quarter) sized print that covers them. Avoid ties that have more than 3-4 colors total, and which have an image or scene printed onto them. Ties should match both your shirts and your suits and make sure they use colors that match or go with the rest of your outfit. Try to buy shirts and ties together, if possible. Men's stores coordinate colors to try to make the buying process easy. It may not be the same colors next year or even next season! If in doubt, ask for help--a good quality store will be happy to help you. Bow ties are also generally considered acceptable. However, they are far less common and can be considered unusual or "quirky". Bolo ties are often regionally acceptable in areas of the American South, Southwest, and West coast. However, they may or may not be considered an acceptable replacement for a tie depending on the workplace. Dresses can easily be worn in a business formal setting, but be careful with your selection. Choose dresses that are knee-length or longer, and are in a subtle print or solid color. Dresses should not be too tight-fitting and should not be revealing/ have a plunging neckline. A good blazer or suit jacket can make a dress more formal and versatile. This sort of outfit is the basis of the classic "day to night" women's wear, in which a woman goes to work wearing an evening appropriate dress coordinated with a work appropriate blazer. At the evening rendezvous, put aside the blazer for a less formal look. Business formal jobs all require quality footwear, typically made of leather (or similar high-quality material).  Men should always wear formal shoes, often in the baroque or oxford style.Lace up is more traditional.There are many slip-on loafers that also may be appropriate and formal. Black is the go-to color, although brown is sometimes acceptable. Women should typically wear low or moderate high heel shoes or flat pumps.  Conservative boots are sometimes appropriate. Make sure details and embellishments are restrained. Women generally have more choice in color, but sticking to black and neutral colors is still safer. In a formal office, white cotton athletic socks are usually not acceptable. If you are wearing socks, they should usually be dark (black is typical). Ideally they go with the pants or shoes. In a formal workplace, you should usually wear pantyhose, or tights under your skirt. Choose sheer tights in a neutral color.    Leggings are not appropriate in a formal workplace; choose opaque tights instead. Barelegged (although well groomed) is becoming more acceptable. But if in doubt, put on a pair of pantyhose or tights. To complete your outfit, remember some accessories. In general, keep jewelry and other accessories subtle and tasteful. Be careful of wearing too much, although what constitutes "too much" will vary from culture to culture. Also, what is OK for a man and a woman may be different. For instance:  For men: cuff links, rings (such as a class or wedding ring), watch, pocket square (very formal). Necklaces and bracelets are often uncommon but usually acceptable if in good taste. Medical Alert jewelry is always OK. Most formal offices will not look favorably on body piercings, including earrings. Belt buckles should generally not be oversized. For women: Jewelry (rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches ) are all typically acceptable, but be careful of too much or too large pieces. Pierced ears are almost universally OK (with studs or small earrings), generally other body piercings should not be visible. Scarves, belts, headbands, hair accessories (such as barrettes), are also all fine.
