Watch out, though--the first pair of Stuart Weizmans are what set me on the road to shoe obsession.

The band is made to fit over a wet suit. If you work with corrosive substances, the plastic divers watches such as Casio look nice, are not expensive and hold up pretty well. As for those who must wear the work boots, those look nice with full pants. The pants must be long enough. When only the toes of the shoes show, the effect is quite nice. No one will know what sort of shoe it is. The pants don't even have to be expensive (and probably should not be, since stuff will undoubtedly spill on them). Have fun and enjoy your work!

Thank you to the Manolo who encourages scientists to dress stylish! I work in a lab and see too many of the fashion faux pas on a daily basis. This is not only limited to the scientists. I believe one can be professional and intelligent while dressing with style! Yes! Thank you to the Manolo who encourages scientists to dress stylish!

I have been meaning to write to you for advice for mom-about-town shoes, and I think these are perfect. I am always running around so I can't wear stilettos, but I prefer not to wear sneakers unless I'm actually, you know, running, or visiting a playground where there's sand. These are a lovely, stylish shoe that look comfy, too! Manolo, thank you so much for this post! I have been meaning to write to you for advice for mom-about-town shoes, and I think these are perfect.

Every single day, I see some girl walking around this college campus wearing pointy-toed, 4 in. high, stilleto heels. These girls will be walking well over a mile, going from class to class, building to building, even just to get lunch, they must hike over to the UC, all on hard concrete or brick surfaces. No matter how fabulous the shoes, no one looks good in pain, and these girls are obviously in major pain.

I'm a museum curator, so I don't have to be too conservative, a bit of artiness is okay, but if I'm going to invest in a good watch, I want it to be wearable for years to come. I am a big-wristed girl (not at all delicate) and am often called upon to haul crates and hang paintings in between thinking great thoughts about The Fine Arts. Also, I do not care for the bling, as if that needs to be said, and would prefer to spend less than $500. I have looked and looked at watch websites and they tend to be all about chronometers for the men who must know what time it is in three international cities, while they are scuba diving or on a submarine, and who wish to spend as much on their watches as I spend on my cars. Can you help? Do you know someone who can? xo, Jezebella I clicked on the Engineer Chic post, where you refer to the tasteful watch for the mens’ casual dress look - and perhaps, I thought, Manolo can recommend to me a tasteful watch for the professional attire.
