What to dress

A：Tomorrow will be my first day at work, what do you think I should be wearing?

B：Well, if you want to look professional, serious and more conservative, a blue dress, white shirt and not-too-high shoes would be the best choice. But sometimes, very formal clothes will keep you at a distance from your colleagues. It depends on the company’s dress code.

A：Indeed, I found most of the employees dress casually when I went to the interview. Only the manager was in suit and tie and he just came back from a ceremony. It seems that their dress code is not that formal. Probably, I should put on a simple shirt.

B：Whatever you choose, make sure they are neat and clean.

【Translation】

穿什么好呢?

A：明天我第一天上班，你说我应该穿什么好呢?

B：我觉得，如果你想显得职业，严肃，相对保守的话，可以穿一件白色的衬衣加上意见蓝色的裙子，配上一双平底鞋就可以了。但是，这么穿的话，又会让你和你的同事之间产生距离，主要还是看公司其他人的穿衣情况。

A：事实上，我面试的时候注意到，他们当中大多数人都穿的很休闲。只有经理一个人穿正装，打领带了。他也是刚刚从一个庆典活动中回来。这样看来，他们平时的穿着应该是比较休闲的。或许，我应该穿一件简单的衬衫就可以了。

B：不论穿什么衣服，只要简洁干净就可以了。
