2.)MANUFACTURING AND RELATED INDUSTRIES : UNIFORM (In Companies like HONDA ..You need to be in their Uniform.) and Business Casuals.
3.) AIRLINE/HOSPITALITY/MEDICAL/ --- Every body knows well.
4.) BPO/KPO :- EXCEPT shorts and Banyans ..anything which is trendy ..enjoy guys..
5.) GOVT Departments :- Very FORMALS (But where are these jobs ???)
6.) WORKING FROM HOME (If allows or any telephonic) :- Wear whatever you want but be sure you are fresh at you mind ..be in cool and calm place with all of your Interview questions prepared at the first place (Not kiddin, actualy they help you whenever you stuck --especially in IT Telecons ).

Someone in this post gave a few hints on how to handle the climate and BO. From my experience, I can tell you this much; I have met more MEN AND WOMEN in the IT industry who suffer from BO/Bad Breath/Bad dressing sense or ALL 3 PUT TOGETHER. And yes, I dare to say all these things because I set high standards for myself when it comes to these things. At the end of the day, if you can't bear to sit next to the person who has the worst breath or suffers from perennial BO(and trust me, I have worked with such specimens), a dab of strong perfume is the only thing that will keep me alive and sane.

Dont get deceived by these articles to drive the sales of some suit Retailer...
A good attitude, SMART brain and a CLEAN dress is more than enof to suceed....Not Raymonds and Red Tape win biz deals...but the stuff in the product...
I don't know if dressing really affects your performance or not. But everyone wants to look good. And some do not know how? I felt this article is really helpful for people who want to look professional and smart. And for those who do not want so, they are not bound to follow this.
