“Dress for Success” Fashion Show

The Widener Law American Bar Association/Law School Division Committee is hosting a professionalism event that addresses dressing for the legal profession. The presentation will cover how to “dress for success” in the context of a fun, professional fashion show.  Student models will walk a runway through the center of the Polishook Rotunda and representatives from Ann Taylor and Men’s Wearhouse will break down how the models’ outfits are assembled and which ensembles are appropriate for different situations.  Hopefully with this event, we’ll be clearing up the 50 shades of grey area between business formal and business casual, from the office to the court room.
