This is long but it's just too insane to leave any of it out. More from Dress for Sucess:

"Doctors are attracted to women wearing chic, with-it, up-to-date, and expensive clothing. They prefer thin women whose clothing says they are models and whose actions say they are socialites. They are attracted to women who display obvious status symbols - women who wear labels on their handbags, umbrellas, and anything else a label can be slapped on. If designers start tattooing women, doctors will be the first to applaud.

Doctors are notoriously poor dressers who want their women to dress exquisitely. That's why doctors' wives always look as if an expensive closet just fell on them. Doctors are the only group of men in America who will choose an average-looking woman festooned with status symbols over a beautiful woman without them.

To dress for doctors, simply buy whatever is being shown in the New York Times or in fashion magazines and wear it even where it isn't appropriate. Doctors have no sense of where clothes are appropriate. They are more attracted to a woman in an expensive dress at a casual picnic in the woods than they are to someone wearing something quite appropriate, like jeans.

Scientists, engineers and accountants have exactly the opposite reaction. These men have been trained into a sense of completion. They expect all the parts of any apparatus to work in harmony. So they are turned off by anyone who wears the wrong clothes for the occasion or who present an imcomplete or incongruous picture.

Not so with doctors. They're in a guessing game all the time. They never have the whole picture of what's going on in a human body. So they're used to fragmented information, and they don't expect a woman to have a sense of completeness or even congruity in her clothing. And they turn to another criterion, the look of money or status, no matter how badly the look is assembled."
