This is a map through today's "business casual" minefield. Its subtitle is "How to power up your non-verbal communication and dress down for success." Business attire changed dramatically in the 1990s as companies moved away from blue suits, and techno-revolutionaries made shorts and flip-flops working attire. Maysonave details six kinds of casual categories, includes a quiz to determine if the reader is too casual or too dressy, and offers shoe-care tips and a packing guide. One of her best lines is: "Women are more easily disempowered with casual dress than men." This is a must for working adults, especially those just getting on a career track.
