Dress Code has you covered

In Chicago Area: Where could I find a gorgeous but cheap cocktail dress that I could wear just once and not regret paying the price for it. I’m looking to wear it at a dinner in a restaurant that has a dress code (no jeans, sandals, not casual, etc). Short length, any color but black.

Laura K. writes, “Okay so I’m a big fan of Outblush and have been since I was like twelve (which is a line that I know you’ve gotten about sixty times but it’s true!), and I’m a tad apprehensive about sending in a personal request but I’m absolutely desperate now. I’m moving to a different school for my senior year and found out about the dress code yesterday, which while it may be cute doesn’t really fit with my wardrobe like at all. The dress code for girls is skirts, shirts with a collar (either button down or not), and khakis. Basically I’m looking for prep school clothes that are a tad formal but still say teenager and make people actually want to talk to the new girl. And seeing as how I’m on a very low budget preferably no one article of clothing over $50. By the way you guys are really amazing and your site is bookmarked on every computer that I’ve ever used (just in case I can convert some people to the cult of Outblush ’cause I’m just that faithful ) Thanks a ton, Laura”

Laura, Janetor here: I love, love, love your idea of bookmarking Outblush on every computer you visit – readers, take note! Spread the cult of Outblush!

Personal Shopper: A Prep School Wardrobe for Laura K's Senior Year

I was attending my residency class for my doctoral degree in Atlanta when we were given an assignment to create a presentation to support our idea that our school should change the dress code for attending classes. We wanted our presentation to be the best one possible and we worked very long and hard on the material we wanted to present. As we were competing with many other extraordinary students, we tried to think of ways that we could set our presentation apart from everyone else’s.

Do you think, as does ex president Bush, that there should be a Jacket and tie dress code in the white house?

What do you think about the dress code controversy?

Dressing appropriately at work will not necessarily help you, but not following your company’s unwritten dress code norms can hurt your upward mobility. Certainly there are general business rules that define what is and is not acceptable to wear in the workplace. Every company is different, so be careful when adapting this advice to your specific work environment.

As an individual contributor, you are primarily judged on how well you perform a specific task. If you are a computer programmer, you’re judged on how well you program. If you are a telephone salesperson, you’re judged on how much you sell. As a manager, you are judged on your decision-making ability; this includes ALL types of judgment, including what you wear. After all, if you don’t have the common sense to wear something appropriate to work, how can you be trusted to make good business decisions?  This question may seem superficial, but within many organizations it’s also very true.

Consider the following:

– If you are an individual contributor and would like to get promoted, observe how your manager and how his/her peers are dressed.

– If you are a new manger, observe how your peers are dressed.

– If you want to get promoted to the next management level, see how the level above you dresses.

As silly as this dress code stuff may sound (truth is, it originally sounded a little funny to me), it’s true. For example, let’s say that the first time you went to your boss’ staff meeting you wore jeans and everyone else was wearing a suit and tie, how would you feel? You would most likely feel out of place. This would only have to happen to you once, and you would begin to pay more attention to how you and others dress.

As a personal example, early in my career I worked for a large computer manufacturing company. There was no company-wide dress code. That said, different parts of the company had unspoken rules of what to wear. If you were in sales or marketing, you wore a suit. If you were in finance, you dressed business casual. If you were in engineering or software development, you wore jeans and a cool looking T-shirt. My job occasionally caused me to visit all three parts of the company. The only way all three organizations would take me seriously was if I kept three sets of clothes in my car and changed what I was wearing as I drove from location to location. This was a little extreme, but it worked well.

The primary advice and takeaway for today’s column is:

– As a manager, the dress code rules become a matter of showing good judgment

– What you wear to work may not necessarily help your career, but it can hurt it

– Appropriate work attire is different from company to company

– Different parts of your company may have different dress code customs

– Be cognizant of your company’s unwritten dress code customs and dress accordingly

Im just wondering what the rules are at your school for the dress code. At my school (public) our shorts have to at least be longer than our hands when we put them to our sides and out shirts have to have straps 3 fingers wide. We still have more rules.

What is the dress code at your school?
