Inappropriate Clothing

Inappropriate Clothing

What is inappropriate clothing for adult? Well, that depends on your point of view, now doesn't it? But from my point of view, I think most of us can come to a point where we all say "That is very inappropriate", but what is that point?

Occupational health departments will take note of people dressing inappropriately because it could prove to be dangerous, for example, young girls wearing high heel shoes that are too high could be risky, or perhaps loose shoes such as a flip-flop style could be unsafe depending on the working environment.  Also clothes which are torn or too long in length, which although may presently be the fashion, could be hazardous around unforgiving machinery, therefore careful consideration to a sensible work dress code is essential.

Motivation

Personal presentation is just as important as a skill or qualification and every employee of a company must understand and be fully aware of the effect of their personal appearance because your “overall look” symbolizes what you are and it is an instant communication of “first impression” to other people.  Looks certainly do matter and if you look good you feel good, you will boost your self-esteem and confidence, good presentation enhances personality.

As an employee of an organization you are a representation of that company’s brand also take into account that what you wear has an influence on your general mood because in any job you cannot afford to think negatively about yourself due to some characteristic about your overall appearance.

Professionalism

Everyone is in control of their appearance and bear in mind that when you are groomed and neat you are making a positive statement about your personality, attitude and values.  By paying particular attention to your clothes you can create an affordable, professional and attractive appearance.

Good appearance alone will certainly not guarantee career success but the way you look at work is vital to your position within a company as a physically attractive person, who is well-groomed, can impress upon people. It is important to consider clothes, hair, hygiene, scent and make-up should be subtle but also think about your facial expression, smile as this will create an optimistic impression, it is an employee’s duty to their employer to demonstrate a calm, positive and professional exterior.

For Ladies

Use your best judgment. Save slinkier styles, like lacy camisoles and strapless dresses, for the evening. Try not to go too tight. The office isn't the right place to hug every curve. Don't get too wacky. It's fine to express your personal style, but keep it refined. Crazy hats, over-the-top makeup, and raucous patterns or colors will make you see too eccentric. These are some tips for getting appropriate dress in work place. Obey the rules, whether you like them or not. Wear shirts of a proper length, and shun pants that ride too low. Avoid revealing too much cleavage. Work is definitely not the place for it.

Keep your hemlines in check. Even if you have great gams, super-short skirts should be saved for evenings out or weekends. A few inches above the knee is the shortest you should go. Save your flip-flops for the beach. And your sneakers for the gym. Wear a pair of simple flats for your commute instead. Keep your straps under wraps. Never let your bra show, and make sure your shirt is buttoned up properly. And don't wear anything see-through without proper underpinnings, ever. Dressing against office dictates won't impress the boss or your colleagues. Never show your midriff.

For Men

For business formal if you work with customers in a professional setting, such as a bank or office. Do not sag dress pants as this looks very unprofessional. Be sure that your pants are properly hemmed. Pants that touch the floor when you walk are either the wrong size or improperly hemmed. Do not wear corduroy pants, as these pants are business casual. Wear shoes, either black or cordovan (brown leather). Polish them every few weeks and try to keep them looking shiny. Notice how your colleagues dress and use it as your standard. Try to dress at the same level as others in your workplace. Wear a white or colored button-up, long-sleeve, collared shirt. Always tuck your shirt into your dress slacks. Avoid loud colors such as bright yellow, orange, and certain shades of red. Wear pant with conservative colors. This includes black, grey, or navy blue. Wear pants tightly around your waist, above your hips.


        For business casual, wear either a long-sleeved or short-sleeved collared shirt. Polo shirts are also acceptable in most business casual situations. Choosing a white, light blue solid, or conservative-striped shirt is the safest choice. Do not wear shirts with logos or words on the front. All shirts should be neatly pressed and tucked into your pants. Wear neatly pressed khaki, gabardine, or cotton pants. Pants should not be too tight or too baggy. Black, brown, navy, and khaki colored pants are preferable. Corduroy pants are also acceptable. Jeans are sometimes acceptable in certain industries, choose the above options first before choosing jeans. Observe your peers and bosses to see if jeans are truly acceptable in the workplace. If you do wear jeans, choose a dark color over lighter or faded colors.

Conclusion

It is perfectly acceptable that people will judge a new employee on their appearance, including clothes, body language and facial expressions, visual impact is about attitude.  Bear in mind that working on your body language can improve your overall personal presentation, avoid troubled and anxious facial expressions and stand up-right as all these factors contribute towards optimism.
