    Hi Latha - before you invest money in work clothes, what is the dress code at your office? Is this a new job - if so, check with co-workers and see what they are wearing - most offices allow what they call "business casual" or is it more traditional? For business casual, I would invest in a few pairs of black, grey, khaki pants - you can wear them year round with dress shirts, tops, during the summer months and with sweaters during winter. Invest in a couple of good jackets so that if you are required to wear formal wear for meetings. I would shop in Macy's, Dillards, etc. They have good clothes - watch for their sales - you can get very good prices. Right now all winter stuff is on sale -so you could get some nice sweaters, jackets, etc. Kohls is another place that I love to shop.

    Hi Latha,
    As stated in prev post u need to know the dress code before you buy clothes. But for the first couple weeks u def need to wear at least business casuals. For business casual u can get good fitting pants in express. I love the fittings in express. Else you can also try in Macy's or New York and Company or Limited. You can get nice formal shirts too in these stores. One thing which u def need to carry is a handbag ;)

    Hi latha,

    Most of the times buisness casuals (semi formal pants,shirts) works for any type of job, It is better to know your dress code.
    I normally bought my work attire at Mervyns, Target, Sears, JC Penney they are pretty decent and reasonable.
