Following on from my previous post listing the unspoken rules to follow for dress down Friday, I thought it would also be a good idea to list the things not to wear to the office if you would a) like to keep your job, and b) not look like a plank in front of your colleagues!?!So take a sneaky peek at the list below and make sure you haven’t got something criminal picked out to wear to the office next week!?!
1. Although these are liberated times, you can dress too casually for the office. Any type of beachwear or flip flops is strictly taboo on dress down Friday and should never be worn!?!
2. Another taboo is clubbing wear, so make sure you keep those velvet hot pants and see through shirt for the weekends only!?!
3. Jogging pants, tracksuit bottoms and sweat pants are far too casual for the office and should definitely be kept for trips to the gym only. Track jackets are the exception to the rule as these can look really stylish when teamed with jeans and a t-shirt or polo.
4. Dress down Friday is no excuse for sloppy habits either, so make sure your clothes are ironed as casual does not equal slack!?!
5. Finally, make sure your choice of t-shirt will not offend. You may know that the witty and slightly risqué slogan emblazoned across the front of your t-shirt is taken from the lyrics of your favourite heavy metal band, but your work colleagues, and more importantly your boss may not realise this!?!
Always remember it takes just three seconds to form an opinion about someone, so ask yourself what you want your colleagues to think about you at a glance!?!
If you need some inspiration for the next dress down Friday, why not check out our website at www.fashicon.co.uk – and I can guarantee you will be receiving compliments and not criticism come Friday!?!
