From Booklist
America's corporate reengineering movement has affected the way we dress for work. According to Omelianuk, with the advent of casual business environments also comes a major shift in attire. Out with power suits and big shoulders; in with relevant and comfortable clothes to create and think in. The author first covers all the basics for both men and women, including such concerns as fabric, color, pattern, texture, and survival gear (the absolute minimum "must have" clothing for business wear). Basic items are combined visually in four different ways to show four different images. Quotes from corporate and literary gurus such as Faith Popcorn, Alvin Toffler, and Sloan Wilson, historical tidbits, and helpful resources will guide novice business types into making appropriate decisions.
