[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 70126, member: 2672"] I literally relied on H&M for my work attire throughout my career in law firms. I don't really think "quality" is seen really as long as the attire is clean and not looking tired/worn out. The general rules for women are nothing too short in skirt length, low cut, or tight. The more combinations of those you have the more risk you take at being looked down upon. I have had too many interns wear bodycon style dresses (the type you would wear on a night out) assuming a blazer over the top will be enough to dress it up professionally. Generally the rule is also to wear tights with skirts too. For some reason firms tend to have a thing against completely bare legs (which I never understood). I'd also generally recommend wearing enclosed shoes rather than sandles or peep toe shoes - sling backs can be ok. Make sure you hair is tidy and your make up and jewellery isn't too over the top. By the way, this isn't my personal view at all on dress codes, as I was someone who tended to hate them and even got a high heel warning written into my appraisal once that p*ssed me off. [/QUOTE]
