Dress for Success is a global nonprofit organization that provides professional attire for low-income women, to help support their job-search and interview process. The organization was founded in 1997 by Nancy Lublin, and has since spread from Harlem, New York City, to almost 145 cities in the United States and twenty other countries. The organization reached about 45,000 clients each year in 2006, and, as of 2017, has helped over 925,000 women. The parent organization's current CEO is Joi Gordon. The organization's approach is based on social research suggesting that suitable attire is important to "impression formation", which in turn impacts job prospects. However, its approach has also been criticized by researchers, who found that the "benevolence of affluent volunteers serves to reinforce class and race superiority while producing moments of genuine care and connection."
