Help... I don't know what to wear to my job..
-
A female here, pls help... I was wondering what do people usually wear as an admin assistant. Is it die die must wear office style clothes? What about clothes like jeans and t-shirt with a jacket over? Not too shabby looking actually..
I feel extremely uncomfortable in office wear and so was thinking if it's inappropriate to wear clothes like the above mentioned. (it's not too sloppy and not too formal in my opinion) -
didnt your HR brief you on dress code?

Actually I'm determined to enter the post of admin assistant. I got shortlisted for a few companies, so not yet briefed cuz I'm not officially in the company yet. But once I got the job then the problem would arise... like what to where and stuff like that. So I think it's better to know first hand the type of dressing which is allowed/disallowed usually at these kinda jobsOriginally posted by thoreldan:didnt your HR brief you on dress code? -
check out with ur HR.
dun have to be very formal ba..
perhaps no jeans and t shirts lor, depends on company. -
When in doubt stick to the classics. A blose and skirt will do liao. Dress simply and do not accessorise too much. You don't want to overkill by overdressing.
So long as you look presentable, you are ready to go......
Avoid clothes of denim material though as it's generally considered too casual!

read from your profile that you're like 19 this year?Originally posted by QNH1010:I've never worn a skirt since I was four
probably you can start dressing up in skirts and be surprised how good it'd look on you -
usually smart casual will do...but it depends on what company you are in. if you dont like to wear skirts, wear pants loh. plus a nice-looking blouse. when you go to the company for the first time, observe how the people generally dress there. dont wear jeans or t-shirts unless it is your company culture. some companies do allow you to wear jeans on fridays.

for they will not entertain your excuse (in their eyes, it's excuse, but to you, its reason)
normally office only have dress down on weekends. so you wear only formal for 4 days from monday to thursday. friday and sat are smart casual, as least polo t-shirt jeans or shirt.
office life is boring, and the rules can't be changed. if you really feel uncomfortable, than maybe you might want to reconsider your option of working in office? -
female, 19 years old.
Height? weight? Body Type?
Feet size? heels, flats, boots?
hair length?
Mode of transport to go to work and home?
Make-up?
Fragrance?
Sporty look? Classic look or the wild glam look? What kinda bags you want to lug around?
Type of watches you wear?
Whats your budget? -
Here's a list of what you should have.
In black:
twinset cardigan
Jacket
flat front panel Pants that hem below your ankle
High Boots (top must cover above your ankles)
Bag (Big enough for your house keys, MP3, book & a make up case)
In colour:
spagetti strap top (for hot days, goes into office, can put on the black cardigan or jacket for the office)
Blouses
Try Dano or that Ivera something shops for the jacket, pants. They usually have them in some similiar material that looks like you are wearing a nice full sets of office wear.
Go to This fashion for the spag strap tops so it looks like you got variety of your outfit everyday.
Then add on slowly, maybe 2 pieces of clothes item every month.
Avoid everyday all black outfit can liao. Leave the cardigan & the jacket in the office for office use.
Boots, can get cheap at OG.
heels & so on, its up to you to later mix and match to your work outfit.
Skirts too. If you are comfortable wearing them, can get the standard office skirts from Dano shops.
Important is that your hair is neat, you smell nice with fragrance and your accessories is neat, like a decent watch and ear studs will do.
And at least put on some lipstick. -
TS, any aviation background?
-
go tob the company one day beforehand and observe what the people wear
-
If you're not comfortable wearing anything at all you can choose not to wear.
Probably should choose something humble and not outstanding. -
Even engineering firms' admin assistant has to wear office wear.Originally posted by sgFish:TS, any aviation background?
Unless the department otherwise says its okay to be in jeans & t shirts. Or they provide overalls. -

Like the others have suggested, check with your HR or direct supervisor in regards to the dress code. Some companies may allow more 'leisure' wear on certain days or more likely... A Friday? As said, check before you take things 'too easy'? -
