Appropriate Apparel

It's hard to say whats appropriate to wear because there are many factors that come into play and not all of them are universally accepted. But I feel there are some that everyone must (to some degree) abide by, for starters safety is always a necessity, lets say someone works in a wear house, they will most likely need steel toed boots and thick gloves. Someone working in a kitchen typically needs anti-slip shoes, an apron, hairnet and so on. When it comes to someone working in an office there tends to be less of a risk of injury but this leads into the second point which is representation. I see representation as how someone looks, whether it be a clean shirt, crisp collar, torn sleeves, shaved face, and many more. No matter what the work is I think it is always necessary to come with a clean outfit, but obviously if someone works in sanitation or on a fishing boat dirt cannot be avoided and that is where the third point comes into play. Preparedness for people working in the sewers or boats means they wear thigh high boots, big rubber gloves and a water tight jumper to prevent any potential seepage.

Now it can be argued that other factors are equally as important as the ones previously characterized but these are the three that I have decided to touch upon in this post. Please feel free to inquire about others as there are possibly an infinite number of factors so the list is endless.
