What do you wear when there s no dress code policy?

When there's no dress code policy, it can be a bit tricky to know what's expected of you and your wardrobe. If you're starting at a new job, it's best to dress more on the formal side and take note of what employees around you are wearing. Never go to a first day on the job dressed in overly casual clothing.

Another good rule of thumb is to "dress for the job you want." In other words, look to what higher-ups and senior members of your organization are wearing and use them as examples of how you should be dressing. Perhaps you can even see what your heroes or mentors within your general industry are wearing in professional settings and model your work wardrobe after them.
