How to Know What Not To Wear To Work

Everyone with a job should know what not to wear to work. Here are simple instructions for getting dressed in the morning:

Instructions

1. ***ASSESS YOUR WORK CLOTHES***

   Dress in front of a full body length mirror in order to assess your entire outfit. Try on the outfit the night before. Ask your spouse or roommate to give their opinion about what you will wear to work. If you live alone, go next door and ask the neighbor whether you should wear a particular outfit to work.

2. ***PLAN TO IMPRESS, NOT DISTRACT***

   Assess whether your outfit is better suited for a party. If you can also wear the party to a dance club it is probably something you can not wear to work. Dress with clothes that are professional and not distracting. Typically if everyone is staring at you all day long you are wearing something that you should know not to wear to work.

3. ***BE PREPARED TO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES***

   Keep an extra outfit on hand at work. A simple white shirt and black slacks will do. Just in case you do wear something inappropriate to work and need to change quickly. You can run into the restroom, change your clothes and still have a productive day at work.
