Dress code at work
What do you think about dress code at work?
A dress code is what kind of clothes you wear at work. For my explanation, I will consider two types of dress code: the casual one, and the business one.
The casual one dress code is about clothes you feel relax within: tshirt, polo, jean, sneakers. However clothes must not be too worn out, nor too eccentric.
A business dress code is more refined, and is usually a suit for men, with a tie and smart shoes. For women, it can be a tailored skirt, with heeled shoes.
The dress code depends of what your role is and the company you are working for. Usually, people who are facing customers or business partners, like receptionists, HR, business men and women should avoid the casual dress code.
Even if you are not directly in contact with customers, some sector of activity are used to require its employees to follow the business dress code. Such sectors are banks, real estate, insurance or companies with a lot of people.
Having to follow a dress code has advantages and drawbacks: you may not feel at ease with a suit in summer because of the heat, or with a tight tie. Casual dress code involve less work than the business one, like the need to go to the pressing from time to time. The advantages are that you may feel more professional to people, impress them at the first sight. It also gives a more strict separation between work and personal life. Once you put your business clothes off, work is over.
