CLOTHING:
Men
As we know first impression is the last impression.
Your attire speaks before you. You should dress up in formal manner.
Men should wear a well-tailored suit in traditional colors such as navy blue, charcoal gray or black, in solid or subtle stripe patterns (e.g., pinstripe). The shirt needs to be a long-sleeve and button-down, preferably in a solid color such as
white or a light blue. The tie can have a small print or color; however, its overall appearance should be conservative.
Socks need to be a dark solid or a small pattern. Shoes need to be leather, and in a wing tip or loafer style. Socks should be matched with color’s paint.
Women
Women should wear a well-tailored suit in colors such as navy blue, charcoal gray or black. Possible shades of green,
maroon or purple can be worn if the color goes well with skin and hair coloring, but be cautious of wearing non-neutral
color pallets. While more conversation workplaces or industries may still prefer that women wear a dress suit (I. matching suited skirt and blazer), a pants suit is now also appropriate for the majority of settings. Skirt lengths always need to be knee length or slightly below the knee. Blouses should be cotton, silk or a nice looking artificial fiber in a conservative color that goes appropriately with the suit. Wear low to medium leather, heeled shoes. Never wear open toe shoes. Always wear pantyhose (even in the summer!).
Hair/Makeup
Keep hair nice and neat. Keep hair nice and neat. There is no specific hairstyle recommended, only that your hair is clean and well groomed.
Women, wear natural looking makeup that will flatter and compliment, not overpower, your outfit. For men, beards and
other facial hair should be neatly trimmed. Also be aware that some industries and organizations may frown on longhair or facial hair.You should not feel sleepy in the office. Look energetic,
Nails
Nails should be clean and manicured. Women do not have to wear nail polish; however, if polish is worn, make sure that
it is a natural, conservative color and not chipping off.
Perfume
Do not wear perfume or cologne as many people have strong, adverse or even allergic reactions to it.
Jewelry
Wear only a conservative amount of jewelry. Also, wear jewelry that flatters but doesn’t overpower. For example, a pair
of stud earrings versus chandelier earrings or a gold or silver band versus a large turquoise ring would be appropriate
choices.
Obey the thirteen rule: no more than thirteen accessory pieces – this includes accessories such earrings rings or watch, but also accessories we don’t typically think about such as buttons on jackets.

@ Mr. Taha - Very nice copy-paste, but for what culture? How about Indian culture and weather, especially differences in weather in cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Delhi? Does the international traditional dress code fit into today's workplace environment?

Add to the above... coordinate accessories but keep it simple and neat.
As a rule, men should match the color of their belts to their shoes and the color of their socks to their trousers, while women should match their handbags with their footwear.

Dear Priyanka,
As per the dress code policy of the organization, it should basically focus on the below points:
1. It should be simple, enhancing the personality of the individual.
2. Formal dress should be worn, not jeans, t-shirts, sport shoes, slippers, etc.
3. Plain or checked shirts can be used to improve the impression quality of employees.
4. Setting a dress code in the organization establishes a professional atmosphere.
5. The dress code helps in identifying and unifying employees.
6. The hairstyle should not be disruptive to others.
7. Female employees should avoid wearing vulgar dresses or short skirts. They should wear either a saree or a salwar-kameez, which will enhance their image positively.
When choosing a dress code, the color of the dress must be selected to highlight the individual's image. The dress code builds the value of employees as well as the organization.
The importance of the dress code is evident when the organization is viewed from the outside. If an unexpected situation arises, others can save/protect the individual by identifying the specific dress code. In a social context, the dress code serves as an icon of the organization.
Thanks & Best Regards,
