Are you ever in doubt of what to wear for an interview, reception, or interview lunch? What exactly does "business casual" mean? What am I expected to wear during my clerkship? If you've ever asked yourself one of these questions, come to the Dress to Win workshop on Thursday, November 3.

We will split the program into two rooms: women's attire will be discussed in TNH 2.139 and men's attire will be discussed in TNH 2.137.

You can expect a head-to-toe review of professional attire that provides guidance on meeting expectations, avoiding pitfalls, and appropriately adding a bit of self expression. You will also hear helpful advice on purchasing attire at an array of budgets and seeking affordable tailoring.
