So the buzzword is Company Culture and what this translate into should be modest and clean.

Not much of this is for women. Thanks a bunch.

This is a great topic and a timely one for me. I was recently on an interview panel for a public information officer, and we were all surprised at the casual clothing worn by many of the people we interviewed. We kept asking eachother, "Don't people wear suits to interviews anymore?" My thought was a simple, well-cut black suit is appropriate for a first interview. Sure enough, the person we eventually ended up hiring walked into the first interview in a simple black suit. Can never go wrong with clean, classic, simple.

I have polish that i got from www.blazenailpolish.com that is clear indoors so my boss just thinks i'm well groomed with a shine on my nails, and then when I go back outside in the sun after work/during lunch the color changes to black, then back to clear when i go back inside.

I agree with everything you mention and would like to add that one should make sure their glasses are up to date as well.
