At conferences, the ladies aren’t the only ones who should be dressing to impress. Whether you’ve been to your fair share of conferences already or this is your first one, it’s important to know how to dress appropriately. These are just a few examples of what not to wear:

If your pants have the same drawstring and elastic ankle cuffs as your plaid pajamas, that should be a sign that you’re doing this “conference fashion” thing wrong.
