I was just thinking abouth this today...I work for my university, and I see all types. Since I'm a student, I can basically wear anything I want. As for the professionals in my office, I've seen the director wear very casual clothes..like..not even matching (well at least to me!! lastpoetinsite would probably now what I'm talking about!!!).
However, my boss is quite young, and dresses very fashionably and professional. She is definitely "movin' on up", compared to her peers, and subordinates, whom are older, and dress..well..not so professionaly. I think that the way she dreses, helps with her keeping a work attitude.
I have applied for a professional job here in my office, and I was just pondering this question. There's a good chance I'll get the job, (and 6 free credit hours!) and I'm not sure of how to dress, esp. because I am still a student. I think I'll do better with the "dress-wear" when fall comes around, and get more dresses when summer rolls around again...
And, yes, EVERY organization is different. Working for a school is different than working in a "traditional organization".
