The workplace
is one of the many places that’s has a mandatory dress code for the workers to
reflect a professional image for the company. Dress codes can be placed into
two categories.
·
Business Professionals
·
Business
Casuals.
Business
Professionals
This is the type of attire
that would declare in a non-verbal way that the worker is ready to accumulate
success for the company in a powerful way. Attorneys, investment bankers, real
estate agents entrepreneurs are some of the few examples who dress professionally.
Their attire represents themselves and the company.
Men are typically seen in a
neat shirt worn with a tie. Simple, polished shoes and a classic watch can
create a professional outlook.
A woman’ customary attire can
be composed of business styled dresses, suits, conservative blouses and pants,
plain heels (an inch or two high) with minimal/ simple jewellery.
Business
casual differs greatly than business professionals in that business casual is a
more relaxed approach. But that does not mean showing up in a halter dress or
the usual flip flops used for a stroll down the streets would be okay to wear
to work. Women can sport blouses, simple shirts, tailored dresses and skirts
(which should not be close fitted or revealingly short). Dress pants, khakis
can be worn. Jeans may or may not be allowed depending on the place of work.
Heels (no, not stilettos) and flats (preferably closed toe) make the perfect
footwear. Simple accessories that are neither distracting in looks or sounds
can be worn.
