Hi,
After looking through the entire Daz and Content Paradise stores, there is a serious lack of business casual clothing. Not everyone is a dragon rider, goth assassin or bi-curious future renegade.
I suspect a lot of other people would pay for clothes that look like what real people wear to work, not clinging tightly to every bulge and curve.
Kudos to the designers who do such a great job (better than I could ever do), no disrespect intended but there is room for so much more variety in clothing.

It's hard to disagree with those facts... but it's largely a fantasy world, after all.
I wonder if you found Kobamax's store here at Rendo? He has some very nice looking 'normal' clothing.

Well, if you've only looked through two Poser content stores, then you haven't even scratched the surface of what's available.
I've seen several business suits available here, for a wide variety of figures.

Jim Burton at Daz has the "Day in the Office" set for V3 at DAZ
Hongyu has several sets both here and at DAZ
Over here, we have:
Kobamax has several great sets here. The T-suit and T-coat series are great (although I wish that the V4 coat had open morphs.) Furthermore, most of his sets mix-and-match quite well, and one of them has a dynamic skirt.
Nekoja has a sweater and skirt set (Winter Clothes) and an office suite (OL Suit) for most of the DAZ female figures -- they all share the same textures too.
BATLAB has the :"Recruit Suit" for A3 and V3.
If you want slacks, it's a little harder. 9mbi has a pants suit, a sweater and slacks combo, and a skirt suit with a longer skirt than is usual. There are probably also a lot of outfits you can use the slacks from and combine with another outfit's jacket.

Thanks for those links, I did find the batlab recruit suit and it looks great. Kobamax has some good stuff too.
The Day in the Office set and Nekoja have the same skin-tight revealing look as most of the stuff at Daz, maybe it's a limitation of Poser in general but it's just not what I'm looking for. Actually most poser clothing fits in the fetish category, I think it really limits the usefulness of the program for commercial work.

I tend to agree with you. There is a crying need for real clothing, but then, the artists here aren't really looking for real clothing, either. They want the fetish-y stuff, as the galleries will attest.
Your focus is probably more non-sci-fi / non-fetish / real-world imaging? What a novel concept. About the only developer of real clothing for V4 atm that's creating stuff for a relatively decent price and in copious amounts is 9mbi... it's tasteful, a bit simplistic and old-fashioned (the names of his items are seriously bizarre) but might meet your needs best of anyone. And the prices are about as good or better than most selling on here in the Market place. Google 9mbi... okay stuff for a decent price.

9mbi has an extensive inventory of real world style V4 clothes... mostly fancy dresses but also office wear as indicated above. Very affordable too and all the stuff I have came with matching shoes.
Personally I would like if he did some V4Male or David clothes as well...

We should all send batlab an IM begging him to do a V4 version of his recruit suit:)
