International Business Attire


I feel it is important to know about dress code in different countries. It gives us a greater understanding how to dress while meeting people from other cultures and in understanding why they dress in certain way. This is extremely important when involved in business with Islamic countries. No one would expect an American woman to wear a hijab while doing business in the Middle East, but out of respect you might want to dress more conservatively. For example skirt with knee length hem line or even longer would be appropriate business attire. This article will give you a better understanding of the Middle East business attire.
