In this article (link to dailymail.co.uk), etiquette expert William Hanson tells us what he considers to be unprofessional in the workplace.
Things he mentions:
- tattoos
- nose rings and piercings
- tie clips
- too much perfume (something I don’t like either!)
- charity bangles (What are they? Perhaps something like this?)
- visible hair roots
- high heels (not more than 3 inches)
- brown shoes with suit
- waistcoat
- stubble (What is it? Look here!)
- backpacks
I’d say that it very much depends on your place of work whether this is acceptable or not. Do you agree?
