What Will We Wear?   Most small interiorscape companies wear coordinated outfits.  These may consist of no more than a "golf" shirt with a name tag or company name and  logo on front or back, or they may be a fabric shirt with a collar.  Usually the bottom half sports khaki or navy slacks.  Jeans may be permitted but make sure they are clean, unstained, and have no rips or tears.

Other Options     Some companies make a statement by wearing brightly colored tropical shirts.  These can still have name tags and logos on them.  Everyone in the field wears the same shirts and they become a visual "icon".  And, in areas that have cold, colder climates, employees are provided with an outerwear jacket  in a coordinating or matching color so the "uniform" look is carried through completely.  Make sure these items are well made and provide adquate protection from the elements. 

Never, Nevers   Regardless of the climate, sleeveless shirts are never appropriate and low cut tops the same.  Keep your look clean, identifiable, and professional.  I have always like the short or long sleeved cloth shirt with epaulets on the shoulders. 

The Agony of Da Feet   One of the areas usually overlooked is the shoe.  Yes, sports shoewear is OK as long as it is clean and not falling apart.  Flip flops or open sandals are a bad thing not just from an appearance standpoint but also as a safety issue. 

Summing Up      One company I know, keeps a full length mirror next to the warehouse facility door that most techs use when exiting.  As a matter of course, everyone passes it a couple of times a day.  Not a bad way to reinforce company policy regarding the non uniform uniform.  Now go out there and get ‘em tiger.
