So with UBS recently publishing what they consider an appropriate work wardrobe being one of the most trending topics last week (and apparently, people are *STILL* talking about it), I've decided to post one of my own as well. To prevent readers from getting bored, I will try to keep it very brief, not 40-something pages like the Swiss-based bank (really? My high school handbook was able to say all they needed to say about appropriate dress within a page or so - on 8.5 x 5.5 paper).
As DelectablyChic! is an online media publication, the most ideal dress code leans towards the casual side. This means that standards are all the more important - different people have different views of what "on the casual side" means -especially in the fashion and style industry. For some, "casual" means relaxed - yoga pants, flip flops, sweat shirts and so forth. This is fine if you are working at a home office, of course, but not if you work in a "real" office. In fact, flip flops are NEVER fine, unless you're doing a spa day or meeting at the pool or beach. Below are a few ideal outfits for different situations:
A regular day at a casual office (with denim):
If you work in a very casual office which allows denim, be sure that the wash is darker. Whether you pick a flowy top or cardigan and shell, make sure the jeans are professional looking and not sloppy weekend wear.
