Instead of making life a little easier, this wardrobe concept has managed to ba
ffle the workforce. Here's how to do corporate casual the right way.
What makes business casual so ambiguous is the fact that each industry, and per
hanps even every company, has a different set of norms. Smaller companies tend
to have more relaxed dress codes as opposed to multinational corporations. And
creative industries, such as advetising, are even more lenient since a relaxed
dress code can be good for productivity.
Here are some tips to avoid disastrous casual dressing:
Take time to observe what the other employees are wearing. Do
this as early as the first interview for a new company. By dressing in sync wit
h the rest, there is no risk in sticking out like a sore thumb.
Ask the HR department for any guidelines that they may have. S
ome companies have gone the extra mile to get the rules of business casual for
their office down pat.
Do a little research. Read about the industry and the company,
ask friends who work in similar industries, and window-shop at stores that are
known for selling business attires. Try to get a feel for the company.
Take into consideration the image that you want to project. A
secret to quickly climbing the corporate ladder is to look the part, so do try
to blend power-dressing with your casual getup.
It never hurts to be slightly overdressed. Always have a jacke
t ready in the officeâ???this can be thrown over whatever you have on and can m
ake you instantly more presentable to a client or to a superior.
Business casual was adopted to make the work environment friendlier. But when t
aken to the extreme, it can cause tension in the workplace. Therefore, superior
s should set the standards for the rest of the employees to follow. And for the
ir part, employees should realize that while business casual is a privilege, it
should not be taken advantage of at the expense of professionalism.
