Wearing appropriate clothes to work is imperative for a good and reliable professional experience that others in the workplace can look forward to. The clothing should be professional and suitable for the environment, depending on the industry. What is deemed to be safe in one industry can be hazardous in some other line of profession and vice versa.
Bare minimum

The bare minimum required by all industries no matter the kind of work is cleanliness and tidiness. Personal hygiene dictates much of the employees’ attitude and is something that most employers watch closely besides the quality of work.
Comfortable shoes

Whichever it may be, it is essential to choose comfortable shoes that allow easy movement and are sturdy to withstand all the activity required for the job. The best-suited ones will be comfortable, with proper back support, and whether they are formal shoes or casual sneakers, will vary from different organizations.
Offensive or rude text or graphics

Not just that, industries where client interaction is normal requires a more professional and well-dressed environment than a back-office that does a lot of paperwork.
Noisy clothing and accessories
