Every tall woman should have one go-to suit in her closet. Choose a neutral color and style that will last for years, like black, brown, navy or gray. Avoid shoulder-pads or outlandish patterns at all costs. Choose a simple cut with a jacket that hits at your hips and pants with a wider leg, preferably long enough for you to wear them with heels. Also, take the time to find a jacket that has sleeves that reach all the way to the first knuckle of your thumb. Twenty years from now when you pull out the suit for another job interview, you'll be grateful you took the time to follow these fashion rules.
