Funny that the article focuses on the men. I'll guess its not supposed to be surprising that women will spend large amounts of money on fashion consultants.
Honestly I've always thought that men had it easy. Suite or sports jacket or t shirt. There's dozens of stores out there that will take your measurements and order something non-offensive.
I've never been good with clothes and being a woman it tech makes it no easier.
I don't have a feel for what good professional clothing looks like for women. Not too feminine, not too masculine. Not too revealing, not too covered up. Not too colorful/not too dull. If I found myself scheduled to give a presentation at a tech conference I probably would hire a consultant.

Bear in mind you probably care about it more than anyone looking at you, especially if you're giving 'a presentation at a tech conference'.
- Dalewyn 2y agoOne of life's hardest secrets is realizing you don't have to care (that much) about what others think about you. Peer pressure can and should go eat dog poop. So long as you are meeting the minimum standards of hygiene, decency, formality, and (if applicable) conformity of your environment, nothing else matters. Who cares? It's a free world for most of us.
