Question 18

Q“Please advise how should people with professions such as teachers and doctors dress. Thanks in advance!” Asya 2010, modniy.tv website user.

Evelina Khromtchenko answers the question.

People with professions such as teachers and doctors have to dress up like all other people. You just leave your uniform at work and when you go home, you’re free to do whatever you want. Speaking about teachers working clothes, there is no doubt that there is a dress code. It is much easier to follow the dress code, when you are physician, as medics have special clothes, white or green coat, pants (not trousers, namely, pants), that are used to perform his job duties, shoe covers, and caps. As for the teacher, his clothes are not issued to him at work. He buys clothes in the store. However, when going shopping, keep in mind that you should follow “Lady – Like” style: nothing too open or provocative, nothing too exaggerated, active colored or printed. The teacher has a certain image. This image should remind you of a first lady of any country. Please look how do the first ladies of the European countries dress, and it will be a good guideline for you, when you go shopping. Indeed, in this case, you set an example, you are a woman’s face of this little state which is called “your class”. Good luck!
