Your Friend Marta Asks You to Go Clothes Shopping with Her

Multiple Choice

Your friend Marta asks you to go clothes shopping with her. She has an important job interview coming up and wants to look her best. What advice based on research do you give her?

A) You tell Marta to buy a form-fitting dress because women who wear tight or revealing clothes are taken more seriously than those who wear more conservative styles.
B) Because women are rated more intelligent, organized, and powerful when dressed in business clothes rather than in tight-fitting clothes, you encourage Marta to buy a suit.
C) Women are expected to wear practical and comfortable clothing in most workplaces. You suggest Marta opt for a more casual look because dressing up might send the wrong message.
D) The latest fashions are designed to look good on a wide variety of body types and women of all ages, so Marta can't go wrong no matter what trendy outfit she chooses to wear.
