Determine the Level of Formality of Your Workplace :

1.Always dress to match the workplace setting-Some workplaces will provide a written dress code outlining specifically what is appropriate and what is not. For others, you may have to judge based on what others there are wearing.

2. Know your Office Culture-Making professional dress even more confusing is the fact that types of work environment make a big difference in what one wears.

3.Factor in the season--sometimes- Professional dress code in much of the world has some seasonality, based partially on the weather but also on seasonal styles.

4.Know what colors to wear- No color is completely "off limits" but it is more formal and professional stick mainly with a neutral color palette. Formal business suits for both men and women tend to be black, brown, gray, tan, or navy blue. Shirts tend to be lighter in color, with white, off-white, and light shades of colors.
