Wearing the right workwear polo shirts or suits for work is as important after five years as it is attending your interview or on your first day. Wearing appropriate attire is especially important when attending corporate functions as it is on a Friday. Here are a few things to consider when thinking about dress codes.

First thing is to ask, it’s that simple. Many people forget to follow this obvious straightforward approach and this can lead to avoidable mistakes. One of the biggest mistakes is to wear something that can be deemed offensive, or can make you look disorganised or bedraggled. If you are ever unsure about what is acceptable then it is always best to ask, opposed to guessing or making an assumption. This could avoid any internal problems for you.

Companies can have different ideas on what “professional” and “business casual” can cover, and can change depending on who you ask and what type of work is being undertaken. Proper work attire for the working week, dress down days should be covered when starting a new job, and when internal events are approaching, but always ask as early as possible if it is not mentioned, so avoiding any possible last minute embarrassments.

Just try and keep things simple and when appropriate dress up and down as required, so those workwear polo shirts will be perfect for Friday, but you may need a shirt and tie the rest of the week.
