Traditional business attire for women is comprised of a blouse layered by a suit jacket with a coordinating skirt or slacks, and a pair of pumps. Bright colors are generally discouraged for both men and women in the workplace.During the close of the 20th Century, the corporate world introduced a new fashion trend called “Business Casual”.
