Common office attire is a term that describes clothing in a workplace environment or more comfortable than traditional office wear. Many employers make this dress code because they want employees to feel more comfortable when working and more freedom when choosing the outfit. Ordinary office attire will be less rigid, but that doesn't mean it's too casual.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Understanding Company Rules

1. 

   Learn about specific rules. If you are unsure of the company's rules, ask Human Resources. Dress politely on your first day at work if you still don't know what your coworkers usually wear.
   • Workwear is usually the dress code that companies offer to their employees. The problem here is that the expectations of each company are not the same. One company, for example, wants its employees to wear business suits, vests and ties, while another company encourages employees to wear khaki or jeans. When you're asked to wear casual office attire, it's better to get specific. Check out the employee handbook to learn more about the company's dress code.

2. 

   
   
   Observe other staff members. Observing what other employees wear, this is a standard measure of the company's usual office wear requirements.

3. 

   Wear formal clothes to interviews. If you're going for an interview and you don't know what the interviewer wants you to wear, the standard is formal office wear. Remember, it's better to dress a little too stiff than being too casual.
   • For job interviewers in business, banking or financial management, politics, education or health, formal office attire should be worn unless otherwise specifically instructed.
   • If you are not assigned a dress, and the company you interviewed for is not in the above areas, you can wear casual office clothing.

Advice

• Avoid clothing that is too tight or revealing.
• Although the standard of normal office wear is not as luxurious as the traditional one, it is still important to keep in mind that you wear to work. This means that you must be dressed properly, and the clothes are flat, clean and not torn.
• Keep in mind that normal business attire is still business and you must look good when dealing with bosses, clients and colleagues.
• If you have a tattoo, try to hide it. This does not mean that you wear long sleeves every day to cover the tiny tattoo on your arm. Depending on the size and meaning of the tattoo, you should find a way to handle the situation. You can cover the tattoo without too much stress. If everyone saw it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. If the tattoo doesn't work, try to cover it up until it's appropriate.
