What is Appropriate Dress Code for the Workplace?

Every workplace or company has its own dress code. The appropriateness of attire can vary from one company to the other. On one hand casual may be allowed on the other only business suits and coats may be allowed. In every company the working environment is different. Hence, they set the rules according to their rules. But all the company`s need to set rules abiding by the law. A particular dress or the color of the dress must not affect the religion or nationality of an employee. For many workplaces, the dress code differentiates by the degree of formality in a business.

Attire According to Degrees of Formality

Casual Dress Code

In tech industries, the working environment is a bit casual. They allow their employees to wear informal pants and tees are allowed without any complaints. They also allow the employees to wear jeans and shoes on a regular basis. One thing that is not acceptable in a casual working environment is printed t-shirts with quotes or slogans that can be offensive. It is important not to wear untidy and smelly clothes to the office. It gives a very bad impression about an individual even if he\she is working really hard but in front of dirty clothes, the hard work will not be seen.

Business Formal Attire

T-shirts, casual pants, tank tops, and sandals are not at all allowed in a business professional environment. Moreover, in some businesses both men and women need to wear only business suits and coats. It is important to look presentable. Formal shoes and a tie is also very important. A casual dress is allowed on special days in these companies. Companies who are very particular about their dress codes want their employees to dress up properly. As they need to attend meetings and trade shows with other clients. Business formal attire is not at all flexible in any case.
