How to Dress for the Business/Formal Workplace in 10 Easy Steps

A business/formal look requires that women wear hose, so don't be tempted to imitate the bare-legged look that some celebrities insist on even when they're on camera. Matching shoes to your outfit is fine, especially if you're wearing a dark color. Having legwear the same color as the rest of your outfit will give you a monochromatic color scheme, making you look taller. If your suit or jacket dress is a dramatic color, such as red, select shoes in a neutral color. Once you've selected shoes to go with your outfit, pair them with matching or skin-toned legwear, either opaque or sheer.
