Work attire

In terms of work attire, I have seen a whole range of outfits in my line of work. Everything from shorts and flip flops to a suit and tie, it seems that everyone has their own style. I personally like to dress business casual: grey or brown pants with a nice top. I usually like to wear a short sleeve top because it is warm in my area, and I have a button up sweater or jacket over that. Fridays I wear jeans because most everyone wears them, and it is a nice change. Personally, I would not wear flip flops or things too casual. You want to show that you put some effort into what you wear, and that you are confident.

I do not like to overdress, but to fit in with everyone. Looking professional is important, and you may have to attend a last minute meeting or talk with a higher up. Invest in a few, well-put together outfits that are versatile, and you will not have problems choosing what to wear.

I know in the past, women had to wear skirts or dresses, and if they wore pants it had to be part of a matching pant suit. Those days are gone (thankfully), and there are many ways for those beginning a career to make a good impression by what they are wearing.
