Hai Priyanka,
I should share with U some interesting (disgusting ?) experiences so that U will appreciate how difficult to implement it:
V decided to implement a common dress in our office and colour, texture and quality was also finalised at our staff meeting. And co. agreed to meet the cost initially 2 sets from MD to the last man. Purchased the cloth, stitched and started wearing. After a few days some of them started coming in their own dress as before. And started enquiry, what happened, didn't U guys like it or any other problems ? Few came out, Sir, Same colour, design you kinow one petrol pump on our road, their staff also wearing sir. Pl.either change it to some other design, colour in such a way no one else should copy it or allow us to come in our preferences. Ultimately we dropped the idea.
One more experience at home:
Normally I don't buy anything for my wife but bearing all sorts of comments. One day I gained courage and decided to go to the store and selected nice pleasing design & colour saree one for her and other one (but different) for her sis. Gleefully passed on to her. And then I found them lying in a corner of our house uncared for. I was curious and asked-why didn't like it. Who wants, all the school teachers and ayyas are wearing this only. go give it them, not for me.
What do U think about me? a novice ?
Frankly, generally dress code is desired to be sober, nice looking, no deep colours. Chequered, bright colours are not preferred. Many companies preferred plain colours without design. But it all depends on corporates' liking, it is not possible to generalise or make a rule because individuals differ. As many suggested light blue, grey colour clothing with or without light shades/lines are preferable which gives decent look for men. But still these will not go well with persons in the works. They may prefer darker colours for obvious reasons.
What U R asking about ladies.??... God only knows.
All the best

Hi,
Since the topic is Formal Dress Code, I thought this will be an appropriate thread to discuss further about the same.
What I would like to know/discuss about is the importance of "Formal Dress Code" in an organization. Anyone?
I'm new here and haven't checked if there is any ongoing discussion on the same topic on any other thread, please link me if there is one.

Dear Priyanka,
Why not ? What is holding you in devising a policy or code for dress for your organisation.The only thing is you have to be a little flexible and not too rigid bearing in mind the climate,location etc of your organisation.A broad outline about dressing to work shall definitely be advantageous and serve as a reference when in doubt.
So,go ahead....
