Our editorial team received the following email last week… “I have an awesome infographic that might be a good fit for Women You Should Know if you have a few minutes to check it out?”
We did indeed check it out and quickly realized that the folks behind it A) have never looked at our site, B) need a reality check, and C) must think women are morons.
The infographic is from New Look, a British based, self-described “leading fast fashion retailer,” and covers the subject of “The Do’s & Don’ts of Women’s Business Attire”.
According to the pitch, it “provides a number of basic rules for choosing business attire including what is best to wear for interviews and social events at work,” like wearing clean, crease-free clothes. Really? Really!
Here are some our absolute favorites from their list of “basic rules”…. and by favorites we mean the ones that made us laugh the loudest, cringe the hardest, and shake our heads in complete disbelief that this garbage is being spewed to professional women… in 2014!
