These are some good tips to follow when starting a new job:
- Dress to impress for job interviews. If you have any doubts, call the company and ask what is appropriate
- When starting at a new job, ask what is appropriate to wear. Here are some good questions to ask:
- What does the company prefer that you wear?
- Are there any policies?
- Does the company have any dress down days?
- Are there any specific colours that need to be warn?
- Look around at what other co-workers are wearing
- If there is not policy, talk with your peers or managers to create one.
- Avoid: "t-shirts, sandals, flip-flops, sock-less shoes, backless dresses, tank tops, shorts, miniskirts, spandex, athletic shoes, hiking boots, baseball caps, and visors" (Guffey 2011)
- When dealing with clients and customers, always look professional.
The best rule to follow is that when in doubt, ask someone. If it is a well known company, you can always check out their websites. The website might have some good indications of what their clothing policy looks like.
