Choosing the right work attire can be a tricky business. There are lots of things to consider and manage. On the one hand, you want to create the right impression and dress to impress. On the other hand, you’re at work for a minimum of eight hours a day, and so comfort is also a factor. And that’s before we even think about your twice-daily commute. When putting together your work wardrobe, keep the following in mind.
Your employer’s dress code is the first place to start. Some companies are clear on the clothing their employees can and can’t wear, and this is written into the contract or employee handbook. When making your choices ensure you don’t breach the rules. But that’s not to say that you can’t work around them.
There’s no point in looking the pinnacle of poise and success when you’re just not comfortable. Those high heels may look great, but your feet are killing you after a couple of hours. This will impact on how you do your job and your overall well-being and happiness, so you may need to make a few compromises.
The thing about formal and implied dress codes is that it can all get a little bit samey. Everyone dresses alike, and this can often come at the expense of personal style. But there are many ways you can enhance your working wardrobe without breaking the rules.
It’s possible to dress like you mean business without feeling uncomfortable all day long or losing your sense of individuality. Start with the dress code and make some subtle enhancements.
