Nearly all US working women believe that their professional appearance is crucial to success at work, and one in five female executives say they have withheld a promotion or a raise due to the way an employee dresses, according to a survey released on Tuesday.
本周二公布的一项调查显示，几乎所有美国职业女性都认为，职业形象对于她们的事业成败至关重要，五分之一的女性高管称，她们曾因员工着装不当而没给其晋升机会或加薪。
The poll found that 98 percent feel appearance affected their career, and just 2 percent disagreed.
