What to Wear

What to Wear

Simple tips from our team to help you walk in confident and walk out working.

Dress for the job you want

You don’t need a suit. Clean, neat, business-casual or work-ready clothes make a strong first impression.

Good choices

  • Clean jeans without rips, work pants, or khakis.

  • A plain t-shirt, polo, or button-up shirt.

  • Closed-toe shoes. Work boots or steel toes are best if you have them.

  • Hair tied back if it’s long.

  • A light jacket you can take off, since some sites are warm and some are cold.

Leave these at home

  • Sandals, flip-flops, heels, or open-toe shoes.

  • Loose jewelry, scarves, or dangling items that can catch in machines.

  • Shorts, ripped clothes, or shirts with offensive words or images.

  • Heavy perfume or cologne.

  • Sunglasses or headphones worn during the meeting.

Office or front-desk jobs

  • Business casual: slacks or a skirt with a blouse, polo, or button-up.

  • Clean, comfortable dress shoes.

  • Wearing a tie? See our How to Tie a Tie guide.

Once you’re placed

Some production jobs require a gown, hairnet, gloves and shoe covers. Skip heavy makeup, lotion and jewelry on those days.

  • Layers for warm or cold areas.

  • A lunch and a water bottle.
