One of the biggest challenges about working in a modern business is making sure that you dress properly for work. There was a time when everyone was clear about what could be worn and what could not, but that time has definitely passed, unless you are a member of the military, the police or a religious order.
Nowadays the "what should I wear to work?" question comes up each and every day that we each drag ourselves out of bed to get ready for the morning commute. In a gesture meant to suggest that the rules have been loosened a little, employers now accept "business casual" as the norm as far as dressing for work is concerned.
Take a look, spend an hour or more in Google looking for some clarity about "business casual" and you'll be none the wiser. That's because "business casual" doesn't really mean anything.
So where does this leave you? well it means that you suddenly need to develop an intuition for what is expected by your employer, colleagues and maybe even some people who work for you.
That's right, it's hard enough trying to figure out what would be OK to wear to work without having to become a style guide for your own staff.
