what to wear to internship...best comfortable heels??
Wed, 04/29/2009 - 10:39am — bellaaxx
Since we have internships lined up, anyone know about the dress code? Im guessing heels are best, but bring a pair of flats for just in case. Anyone have any style tips, best comfortable heels??
Thank you, it’s very astonishing story it might be very helpful for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a endless flow of academic assignments and mission, I had a brilliant idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism checker. I was so dead that I did not care for what can happen when my academic work was written by flipside person. To my greatest surprise, research paper was deserving the price I paid for it. I was so pleased with the quality and now everytime i use this service.

I’m a guy so I just usually wear a blue dress shirt and dark blue skinny jeans.

It is always OK to ask something if you don’t know the answer yourself. It’s a great idea to ask your boss what the dress code is. It’ll show you care what you look like because you don’t want to dress inappropriately. But it’s always better to over-dress then under-dress. After your first day, you’ll get a good idea of what everyone wears :)
With any job in any industry it depends. Your first step should have been when you went in for interview check out other people in office and see how they dress. But if not at least the first day try to look a little professional. and then again check out other people and if anything even ask. and you dont always have to wear heels to look professional. as a matter of a fact sometimes some heels are completely inappropriate or worse than wearing nice sandals (for example, huge platform heels)
No matter what try to stick to comfortable clothes and shoes because your discomfort will show and thats never a good look.
i am by definition a stranger to the world of heels but recently bought a pair because i’m actually really short and felt like it was about time to have a pair of grown-up shoes. i also can’t deal with uncomfortable shoes at all. BUT i found a pair of shoes that look amazing and are unbelievably comfortable. it’s a pair of patent bcbgirls shoes that look like the marni sandals from a little bit ago. i got the black and creme ones because they seemed more professional. here’s the link: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2998262?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_pla=shoes:women:s…
they look great and are super super super comfortable. i was really surprised. i wasn’t planning on getting $100 shoes but felt it was worth it for such attractive and comfy shoes that i can wear to an interview and keep for several years.
Throughout my past magazine internships the dress code, especially in the summer, has been pretty laid back. People do wear heels but I never did only because they’re of course uncomfortable, so nice flats or sandals (just no flip flops!) are totally fine. I wrore mostly cute summer dresses or skirts, and occasionally wore jeans with nice tops. You definitely don’t need to be dressed in black pants and button ups every day, if that makes sense. Hope this helped, and good luck!
hey guys! similar questions…do you all think it is a good idea to kind of dress up on your first day of an internship? specific thoughts?
after the first day, do you think it is better for an intern to dress a bit more casual than the employees? i am a total heels girl; however, i was at seventeen last summer and most of the interns dressed pretty casual—jeans with cute basic tees, casual summer dresses and flats.
i just started my first day yesterday, and I dressed up a bit just in case. I wore a dress and heels but when I got there everyone was in jeans, semi-casual tops and flats. So I think next time I go in, I’m going to tone it down a bit : ) I dunno if it’s better for the intern to dress a bit more casual…I would just try to follow what the rest of the staff is doing outfit-wise.
How about you just ask? E-mail your editor, say you’re really excited about working with her, if there’s anything you should bring or know… blah blah blah. And then just ask “What is appropriate for me to wear?”
I would strongly suggest you do NOT do this. You’re presumably a college student or older; you should be able to dress yourself without assistance from your boss.
Wear something comfortable, err on the side of being a bit conservative if you’re not sure. If you’re not used to wearing heels, wear flats; you don’t want blisters if you have to go out and run an errand, and bring a sweater, office building are always overly air-conditioned. Don’t worry about having something designer or very dressy or expensive—you’re the intern, no one expects you to dress like the editor in chief. All the advice on here for interview outfits also applies to first-day outfits, and it’s not like they’re going to fire you if they don’t like what you’re wearing.
While I think it’s okay to inquire about the office dress code if you really, REALLY have NO idea what to wear - perhaps because it’s a job at an organization/magazine/company that you’re really unfamiliar with - it’s a little ridiculous to e-mail your editor before your first day and say “what is appropriate for me to wear?”
Try the HR department, or just employ a little bit of common sense. Nobody is going to be able to rummage through your closet for you and select the “perfect” first day outfit. You end up looking a little overdressed? Big deal, tone it down the next day. Don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt, torn jeans, and sneakers, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be just fine. I feel like this topic gets beaten to death on these boards…you’re an intern, not the EIC. No offense, but nobody’s paying any attention to you anyway.
Um, I did this and it was more than fine. It’s not like I was asking which skirt to wear, I wanted to make sure I would be dressing how it is appropriate for the office - usually yes, you can err on the side of trendy business to business-casual at a magazine, but I don’t think it was at all baby-ish to ask what was appropriate for me to wear while at the office. Offices have different cultures - even in magazines - how would I know before I got there what people were wearing? I’ve even been told by career counselors that it’s fine to ask - I’m trying to be as prepared as possible, not asking for someone to hold my hand. To me, that looks responsible, not junior and annoying.
Yea at my last internship one of the interns asked and I don’t think it hurt her in any way. I’m going to be interning at a fashion magazine and they said the dress code is business casual. For some reason I don’t believe that staff at a magazine that is constantly talking about clothes would not take their own advice. I don’t really have a business casual wardrobe to last me the summer in the corporate sense but I can pull off dressed up casual in a fashionable sense. Should i still go with the slacks and button down look for the first day? I don’t want to look out of place =/
Wow, everyone kind of jumped down my throat about this. I’m not saying that it’s going to hurt you, but it is a de facto waste of your editors’ time to answer that question—you’re the new intern, not the new EIC, if you’re a little overdressed on the first day it’s not going to matter to anyone.
Business casual has kind of a bad reputation for those of us who grew up in the Gap era, it’s really just a shorthand for no jeans but no suits either. Slacks and a buttondown is totally fine for a first day, but you certainly won’t need to wear that every day—a dress with a cardigan over it, a skirt and a cute, not-too-bare top, etc., are all equally acceptable. Everyone worries about looking out of place on their first day, but if you were good enough to get hired in the first place, you’re likely not going to make any huge faux pas.
for every internship or job interview i went on, or will ever go on, i always made it a point to try and check out the outfits of a few of the younger women, and use that as a jumping off point, instead of calling and asking. because you’re quite right, it’s a de facto waste of time. and i like to think that the person hiring me realizes that i’ll be able to gauge what’s appropriate based on my experiences and observations, and by maybe dressing up a bit more in the earliest days. in all of my experiences, after dressing up a bit on day one, someone’s always like “this is a real jeans and comfy atmosphere.”
dress weather appropriate — and remember that while it may be 95 degrees out, the office will be air conditioned. so layering is good — a dress or a skirt with a cardigan (something summery, but not skanky or too casual is always a safe bet). slacks and shirt is fine on day one, but chances are it’s something you won’t need to wear again barring any events that you’ll need to dress up for (which you’ll be given fair warning to prepare for).
