Dress for suc-sex?

DOUBLE STANDARDS

"Despite the great strides women have made in the workplace, a woman's image still appears to be more crucial to her career--and more carefully scrutinized--than a man's. Part of the reason is the uniform nature of men's suits. For example, it may be perfectly acceptable for a man to wear the same suit two days in a row, provided he changes his shirt and tie. But if a woman wears the same outfit two days in a row, it may raise the question of whether she went home the night before."
