Also, be prepared to invest some money in quality pieces for your interview that will allow you to wear these times year after year. You also will want to invest in some classic pieces for the office so that you are properly attired for what is probably your first job. Look into a quality suit with coordinating pieces that include pants, skirt, and a jacket. This versatility will allow you to create many outfits using three staple pieces.

no specifics. obvious choices (minis, heels) for clubbing. what about married stay at home 20 somethings, who want to look mature and pulled together, but still age appropriate. sort of vague.

I agree with Amanda, I'm 20 something but married with a kid, I want to be able to dress in great clothes but not look like a total tramp, I only fit in juniors clothes so its really hard to get the look I want, specifics would have been a lot more helpful on what I should be looking for.

And while I agree that one should dress for their body type, it would have been nice if the artical could have been more specific on what short, plus-sized 20-somethings should wear. Most options available to us is frumpy.
