Casual Dress Code

Our Casual Dress Code

Our company values a relaxed and comfortable work environment, and we believe that allowing employees to dress in a way that makes them happy and productive is an important part of that. As such, our everyday dress code is extremely casual.

We trust our employees to use their best judgment and dress in a way that is professional and respectful to their colleagues and clients. We want everyone to feel comfortable and able to do their best work, and we believe that a casual dress code can help to foster a positive and productive work environment.

Casual Dress Details

Employees are free to wear whatever they feel comfortable in, as long as it is appropriate for a professional work environment.

What’s acceptable for everyday work:

• Ball caps.
• T-shirts.
• Polos.
• Button down shirts.
• Dress shoes.
• Dress boots.
• Jeans (no holes).
• Khakis.
• Dress pants.
• Below-the-knee skirts.
• Sneakers.
• Sandals.

Feel free to dress up if that’s your jam, but there is no need to worry about wearing a suit or tie unless it is specifically required for a client meeting or other special occasions.

WFH Casual Dress

Similarly, if you’re working from home, feel free to dress a bit more casually for your everyday work. But please make sure that your on-camera appearance is work-appropriate during web-based meetings.

Business Professional Dress Code

Our Business Professional Dress Code

Our company values professionalism and respect in the workplace, and we believe that appropriate dress is an important part of creating a positive and productive work environment for stakeholder meetings and sales events. So during these times, our dress code is conservative and professional.

During these times, employees are expected to dress in a manner that is appropriate for a business setting.

Professional Dress Details

Examples of business attire:

• Suit.
• Blazer.
• Neck tie.
• High-cut blouse.
• High-cut sweater.
• Slacks.
• Below-the-knee skirt.
• Closed-toed shoes.

What NOT to wear when dressing professionally:

• T-shirts.
• Sleeveless shirts.
• Low-cut or v-neck shirts.
• Jeans.
• Shorts.
• Sneakers.
• Open-toed shoes.

Additionally, you are expected to maintain a neat and well-groomed appearance at all times.

We understand that everyone has their own personal style, but in order to maintain a professional image for our company and to show respect to our clients and colleagues, we ask that all employees adhere to this dress code. We believe that dressing in a conservative and professional manner can help to foster a positive and productive work environment.

WFH Professional Dress

Similarly, if you’re working from home, be sure you are wearing professional dress from head to toe. You never know if you may need to stand up to grab a glass of water, and you don’t want stakeholders to see your pajama pants!

More Dress Policies

Hygiene

Please note that our dress code applies to your overall appearance — including hygiene. We expect everyone to come to work clean. This includes any clothes or belongings brought with them.

Piercings

You can wear any piercings you may have to everyday work.

Stakeholder Meetings and Business Professional Dress

Note that if you are in a stakeholder meeting and are dressing business-professional, you must remove all facial piercings. This includes (but is not limited to) nose piercings, lip piercings, eyebrow piercings, and ear gages.

If you have a facial piercing that you wear for a religious purpose, please discuss this policy with your direct manager prior to a meeting with a stakeholder.

Tattoos

Got tattoos? Feel free to show ‘em off! (As long as they are appropriate.)

You cannot expose any tattoos at work that are:

• Inappropriate.
• Discriminatory.
• Hateful.
• Erotic.

Stakeholder Meetings and Business Professional Dress

If you have a tattoo that can’t be covered for a stakeholder meeting (like a neck, hand, or other visible tattoo), please discuss this policy with your direct manager prior to a meeting with a stakeholder.

Dress Disciplinary Action

What not to wear

Just to make sure we’re on the same page, here’s what’s NEVER appropriate in the office or on Zoom calls:

• Sleeveless tops.
• Tank tops.
• Tube tops.
• Low-cut shirts.
• Above-the-knee skirts.
• Shorts.
• Flip flops.
• Pajamas.

How We Handle Inappropriate Dress

If you accidentally come to everyday work in dress that doesn’t follow policy, we’ll let you know. If needed, we will send you home to change (or privately request that you change via Slack). 

If your dress or hygiene is a continual issue, you will be spoken to by your direct manager and disciplinary action will be taken.

It should be noted that inappropriate dress is not tolerated in stakeholder meetings. If you have inappropriate dress or hygiene in a stakeholder meeting, you will be asked to leave the meeting and disciplinary action will be taken.
