What to Wear During Working Hours and the Dress Code
The dress code may vary with type of Industry, Company, Duties and Whether. Therefore, any staff should keep that in mind.  However, Semi-Casual for  staff (known as business casual) is appropriate for every day in the office. This code requires the following:

Common

  • Clothing should be ordinary and nice and should be suitable shirt, dress, trouser, gown, blouse and skirt.
  • Styles should be classic, with nothing too trendy or obtrusive.
  • Shoes need be patent leather and polished; Normal shoes are acceptable not ones curving upwards or with disturbing shoes. Avoid sneakers (sport shoes) and slippers, and in most cases closed-toed shoes for women are still required. However, styles can vary toward more trendy looks.
  • If you have an appointment outside of the office or during workshops, a coat & tie or nice dress or dress slacks must be worn unless it is extremely hot, then a shirt & tie is OK. Blazers and suit jacket must be seasonally correct. 
  • No visible tattoos or non-traditional body piercing. No more than a pair of earrings for women but no earrings for men.
  • Hair should be clean-cut and carefully styled.
  • T-shirts written insulting or offensive words are not allowed
  • Clothes which may influence and make staff spectators of sports and politics are not allowed,
  • Wearing chain(s)around leg or ring on the leg’s toe(s) are prohibited,
  • Staff should not use strong fragrances (perfumes and sprays), which may cause problem to other staff in the office.

Men

  • Men need to keep their hair and beard short and clean or cut in a nice style.
  • Cloths must be ironed properly
  • Shoes need to be in good repair – no worn heels, no sandals (unless under treatment or medical reasons)
  • Belts must be worn if there are belt loops
  • Hosiery (socks or stockings) must be worn with leather shoes
  • Male employees should not wear sleeveless T-shirts or shirts (no car wash);
  • No jeans (unless for special assignments such as field activities)

Women

  • Women can wear skirts as well as nice gown, skirt or pressed trousers and nice blouses (not skin-tight) or traditional Indian saree or churidars, but clothing should be tailored and well-fitted.
  • Skirts must be of a conservative length.  Keep skirts below knee-length or longer. No ‘mini skirts,
  • All cloth showing back, waist, pants and belly are not allowed,
  • Women need to keep their hair neat or in a decent and nice-looking style
  • Accessories such as jewellery must be simple. Piercing anywhere besides earrings for women (one in each ear) must be removed. If you have tattoos must not be visible.
  • Cloths showing a lot of skin (like a bare midriff, or too much cleavage) are not allowed.
  • One should not wear slippers to work (unless under treatment or medical reasons),
  • No jeans (unless for special assignments such as field activities)

The definition of “ordinary” and “nice” may be confusing if you’re just entering the workplace, so keep in mind that dressing for work is different than dressing for a party, or for beach. Though you may choose nice, dressier clothes for each occasion, the styles you pick will be very different.  Dressing for work must make you respected by others because it shows your personality.  It is our hope it will be nice dress code for staff.

Management through values and disciplinary committee has the right to review the above as necessary.  As long as the rules are applied to everyone in the same line of work on an equal basis, all staff should accept them.

PS: You can inquire with the HR Manager / Executive or a person designated, to know the dress code within the organization you are supposed to attend the interview.
