9 Things You Should Never Wear to Office

6. Crocs

They are fun, anti-bacterial, slip resistant and a lot more. But they are ugly! They are huge and can hardly go unnoticed. You should avoid sporting those in the office at all times. You should not come across as a person who is casual and someone who does not care much about his dressing sense. Crocs give that kind of an image and you should totally stay away from them.

7. Messaged t-shirts

They could be hilarious, totally appropriate for you, and may also bring out your quirky side, but there is no space for that at your workplace. You could even offend a few people around you and may risk being termed as a kid. A professional environment has a bunch of judgmental coworkers, and you have to dress up to ensure that they judge you right.

8. Rugged jeans

Rugged jeans is a total no-no. Even if your office says ‘casual wear allowed’, you should not risk this particular outfit. Save it for the weekend. In an office, you might suddenly have to meet people in front of whom you represent your workplace. In such a situation, the kind of impression you would make in a pair of rugged jeans is not something that your company would like.

9. Sweatpants or sweatshirts

You are in an office, not in a gym. You need to be comfortable, yes, but sweatpants and sweatshirts will take this way over the limit. You should dress up smartly. You should not look like you are straight out of bed. Your effort to dress up shows how much you look forward to your workplace. This gives an overall good impression about your personality.

Keeping all these things in mind, you will be able to avoid any kind of faux pas and will be able to emerge as a serious and hardworking person in a professional environment. It is sad but true, that most of the things today are judged by how well they are packaged. The way you dress up for office is your packaging. So it is important that you pay attention to it, as it counts a lot while you are climbing your ladder to success.
