Question

Because all casual clothing is not suitable for the office, these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear to work. Slacks that are similar to Dockers and other makers of cotton or synthetic material pants, wool pants, flannel pants, and attractive dress synthetic pants are acceptable. Casual dresses and skirts hemmed at the knee and lower or slits at or below the knee are acceptable. Dress and skirt length should be at a length at which you can sit comfortably in public. Casual shirts and blouses, dress shirts and blouses, sweaters, tops, golf-type shirts, tunics, and turtlenecks are acceptable attire for work. Most suit jackets or sport jackets are also acceptable attire for the office. Conservative athletic or walking shoes, loafers, clogs, sneakers, boots, flats, dress heels, and leather deck-type shoes are acceptable for work.
