What to Wear
 
Hello again - can you please tell me what the dress code for women is? I really have no idea - are 3/4 trousers and t-shirt and sandals appropriate? Sorry if its a silly question but am totally ignorant on this subject :unsure:

We call them bogans in Australia, but some of us non-bogans wear them in the house to keep our feet warm........don't worry, the ugg boot thing has been going on here for a few weeks now - it's nothing to do with chavdom.

Sorry to hijack your thread LynR but for those who work in construction, what is acceptable wear on site? I'll be in a mid management level (Sub agent) I'm guessing trousers and short sleeved shirt is ok? Surely it's too hot to be messing around with ties????
