Not all workplaces require a suit either, so if ripped jeans, old sweatshirts, and sneakers are your forte you might consider becoming an engineer. If you want to be more casual, take heart, all accounting jobs were not created the same. The socks make a subtle statement about who you really are, since they aren t always visible and you could easily hide bad socks. You know an accountant is feeling fairly wild when he starts wearing a pinstriped shirt. But the tie really shows the individualism that a person has.
Women can t just change their tie or their shirts, they have to change the entire outfit.
Women are also a little freer to display their personality through their clothes. I know women who wore colors other than blue, black, or gray in interviews and still got the job. I know women who wore RED in their interviews and still got the job. I know women who wear pretty much any color at the office. The simple key is to look professional.
