Summarize:

Accessories should also not stand out in the same ways that they do outside of work. In general, women should choose either a purse or a briefcase instead of carrying both. A purse, if carried, should be small and coordinate with the color of your outfit. Many women tend to wear multiple pieces of jewelry. While this is fine outside of the workplace, business attire standards require that women limit the jewelry that they wear. For example, it is advisable to limit rings to one per hand and wear only a dress watch or simple bracelet rather than multiple bracelets. It is also advisable to keep necklaces simple and avoid dangling earrings. Pearls are always a safe, conservative choice for both necklaces and earrings. Makeup in the workplace should not make you stand out and should reflect restraint and class. In general, you should apply natural-looking makeup and use only clear nail polish. Use subtle makeup colors to accentuate your eyes and lips. This will bring attention to them and help you to communicate with others. Like makeup, hair in the workplace should not distract from work or communication. Hair should be kept shorter than shoulder length and must be a natural color (it can be dyed, just stay away from any unnatural shades). Women with longer hair may wear their hair in a neat braid or a bun. Your fingernails should be manicured and clean. They must be trimmed just above the fingertips or shorter. You should also avoid artificial nails. Again, stick to mainly clear nail polish or nail polishes of very subdued color.
Carry the right accessories. Wear little jewelry. Keep makeup simple. Keep your hair conservative. Keep your fingernails in check.
