Many women in top management jobs never fully embraced the dress-down look. Unlike some male counterparts who famously flaunt khakis and open shirts-think AOL Time Warner chairman Steve Case and Microsoft chairman Bill Gates-high-powered female lawyers, investment bankers and managers generally kept coming to work during recent casual times looking professional and polished.
"Women in management positions didn’t put on khakis to go to work," notes Gayle Kemper, senior vice president and area manager for Computer Associates’ Southeastern region, based in Atlanta. As a concession to casual, women shifted to pantsuits over skirt suits. She said she "almost always" wears suits, despite the company’s "business appropriate" dress policy.
According to a recent survey of more than 200 large US companies commissioned by the Men’s Apparel Alliance, a non profit group of retailers and manufacturers, 56% have a business dressing policy, requiring suits and ties for men and suits or dresses for women.
That’s understandable to Cynthia Strickland, director of Saks Fifth Avenue’s One-on- One personal shopping service, who said, "It goes back to the old thing they discovered with students: if you dress a certain .way, you behave a certain way. Take it up a few notches and it applies to the workplace."
Strickland, herself dressed in an Armani all-season light wool gray pinstripe suit when interviewed last week, said she’s definitely seeing more women snatching up suits, and this spring there’s an upswing in skirt suits.
The key to changing a suit wardrobe is a number of different "underpinnings", the garment worn under the jacket, she said. Currently, the hot choice is a bustier, a strapless top that often features buttons and lace trim. "It’s a nice feminine piece," she said. "We have them all over the store and they’re selling like mad."
Moreover, a suit moves effortlessly from work to dinner. Change the undergarment, add jewelry, slip into backless shoes and the corporate look goes dressy.
Strickland said more women are selecting handbags and shoes to match an outfit and also buying hats and gloves, seeking a more "pulled together" appearance.
But not all embrace that look. Heidi Dillmann, 26, has done the polished look and now happily opts for weekend-typed wear. In her previous job as a financial analyst, she would wear suits and nylons.
As corporate development manager for the Knot Inc, a SOHO-based Web site and magazine publisher on wedding, she wears outfits like cropped pants, a rugby shirt and sandals. She likes it better because the clothes are cheaper and more comfortable and don’t require dry cleaning.
She hasn’t given away the uniform she wore three years ago; the suits hang in the back of her closet. She pulls them out reluctantly when she meets with potential business partners, lawyers and the like.
What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
选项
A、There are some women who prefer casual clothes to formal ones on business occasions.
B、There are some women who refuse to wear formal clothes.
C、There are some women who are reluctant to wear formal clothes on business occasions.
D、There are some women who tend to adjust their dress in accordance with the working situation.
答案
D
解析
从最后两段可知Heidi平时上班喜欢穿休闲服。但她并没有放弃职业装(she hasn’t given away the uniform),即她还是会选择正装出席正式场合。因此D是正确答案。
