There really is no such thing as fashion in the office but all of us who work in an office know that there are certain rules which our employers would wish us to adhere to.

We really can’t go in dressed with torn jeans and t shirts falling off our shoulders. We supposedly know that every now and then important clients are going to be visiting and they can’t be expected to see the office staff dressed in such an informal manner.

When one goes to work, you are expected to do your work to the best of your ability, but unfortunately for all those who like to dress informally, impressions are very important and so the way you dress leaves an impression on everyone that sees you.

If you are trying to climb your way up the office ladder to a better and higher position you will not achieve it at all if you continue to dress in an uncared for manner. You know that at the end of the day you can put on what the hell you like once you are out of the office, but while you are in the office, for your own good and for your own progression you should give a thought to how you dress.

It doesn’t have to be a cardigan tied up to the neck with a skirt down to the floor but it does have to be something that looks semi professional. You can be lucky that your office doesn’t lay down the rule that you have to wear a uniform like some firms do and so if you have escaped that make sure you try to dress sensibly for office work.

At the end of the day it doesn’t really require that much sacrifice – a navy skirt just above the knees, a starched white shirt and some medium heeled court shoes and you will look the best secretary ever.
