I can't count the number of times a day I see guys in the worst fitting suits ever. That to me looks unprofessional. Just because dress code requires a certain "go to" doesn't mean that's the best way to dress in a professional environment. Sometimes certain people can pull off a casual look wayyyy better and look on point than just conforming to a certain standard.
Sarang Banne: As an employer, I really am not too concerned by what people wear to work so long as it's presentable. I care about the quality of their work and their productivity much more than what they wear.
Perhaps congress should also change their priorities. Diane Carlson: Outdated nonsense. I work with F' companies and people wear what they like: sleeveless, sneakers, jeans, suits, anything goes as long as it's pulled together and fits the culture. This outdated no sleeves rule is like something from the early 's. Sabrina M Messenger: Personally, I'd like to see a return overall to proper dress in public. My friend who is a psychiatrist and who also has a teaching role has a very different style from yours, and lives in a different city.
Her skirts tend to be pencil style and somewhere around knee length just above or just below. She has silvery hair although she is only in her 40s and she dresses in a lot of neutrals grey, silver or pewter, white, black plus many blues, with the occasional hit of orange or red or aubergine.
She does not shy away from fun shoes or jewellery or scarves. So "feminine" is fine, but her colour palette tends to lend a bit of gravitas. She often wears a jacket but doesn't always have it on. In summer, she sometimes wears ankle pants. She goes without hose even with a skirt or dress.
And she WILL wear a sleeveless top on occasion, although she would cover it with a jacket or cardigan for a meeting, I expect. Her body type is very slim and petite.
Small bust, very slight pear tendencies. I have been trying to come up with a style descriptor for her but it isn't easy She owns basics from J. I would love to hear about how you have managed to establish your dresses as part of your therapeutic persona, as I too work in the mental health field!
But, that is probably a subject for "off-topic. Great conversation starters! To be honest, if I was a psych patient and you walked into my room wearing one of the fit and flares, and introduced yourself as my psychiatrist I'm afraid I'd raise holy hell.
Your age, along with the fit and flare dress, would be just too much for me. Now, granted I would no doubt be a really bad psych patient because I know too much about the mental health field - but still.
You really rock the fit-and-flare silhouette, but you might consider saving those looks for off-duty times and exploring some other looks for work that project a bit more gravitas. I would look to the senior doctors for cues. If they're not wearing sleeveless fit-and-flares and favor trousers or pencil skirts, I would pay attention.
Still trying to think if there is anyone here who's style is like my friend's -- she would be a role model as she is in exactly the same profession albeit a different city. Her style is urban, sophisticated, classic at its core but not at all "preppy" or "business boring. Suz - There is a very striking lady psychiatrist I trained under - her wardrobe had only white, grey, black and navy.
She is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist though, so part of her persona is the "blank slate" and she does dress to reflect this. The current doctor I work with wore bright floral capris today and a pastel green sweater today with oversized pearls and clunky heels. I will think about being more drab and boring, but I feel this would kill my soul and make me hate going to work. A lot of people around here are modern-classic and I feel that I can probably wear those kinds of clothes, but I don't think that's what I like at all.
Marley - I think I need my age and my colours and fit and flare, because I have a very sharp style of interview. I rarely do therapy, I'm more of a consult and diagnosis type of a person I think if I had a more soft style of practice, then it would be okay for me to wear "harder" clothing.

Mind her disclaimer, though: " I work at a magazine where women are always expressing their own personal styles. Managers in the OfficeTeam survey highlighted this as a clothing item that has become less acceptable in the last five years. But men should steer clear of them entirely. In general, frayed or ripped clothes are a no-go. Ripped clothes that show a lot of skin are a double no.

Unless you're a runway model or Justin Bieber. Business Insider has already told you a few times to avoid yoga pants at work, and we're telling you again.
