Research the dress code
Before your first day, take time to understand the company culture. Check social media or ask HR about the typical office attire, whether it’s business formal, business casual or more relaxed.
Dress one level up
If you’re unsure, it’s safer to dress slightly more formally than expected. It shows professionalism and respect for the workplace.
Opt for neutral colors
Neutral tones like navy, black, gray and white create a polished, professional look. Save bold prints or bright colors for when you’re more familiar with the company culture.
Wear comfortable, professional shoes
Choose footwear that’s appropriate for the environment and comfortable enough for a full day. Avoid overly casual or worn-out shoes.
