Erster Ausbildungstag: Layering und Co.: Wie Azubis das passende Outfit wählen

Ausbildungsstart - doch die Shirts aus Schulzeiten sind nicht das Wahre? Was Auszubildende am ersten Tag im Unternehmen wirklich im Schrank lassen sollten - und wie viel eigener Stil gut geht.

Erster Ausbildungstag: Layering und Co.: Wie Azubis das passende Outfit wählen

On the very first day of a new job, future trainees often wonder what to wear. A helpful tip is to ask during the interview what clothing is expected from trainees, or at least observe the company's dress code upon arrival. This information can also be found on the company website or through a visit to the training company. Stilberaterin Dunja Heß suggests looking at social media posts of the company to get an idea of their employees' style.

Layering is a useful strategy when unsure about what to wear. Generally, the outfit should not be too casual like a school day. However, it does not need to be as formal as a wedding or a confirmation ceremony. He recommends choosing a compromise and incorporating layering into the outfit. Instead of a suit and shirt, one could wear jeans over a shirt or blouse, and add a blazer on top.

If it's appropriate, the blazer can be removed. Casual items like flip flops and slippers should stay at home. Trainees should avoid revealing tops, torn pants, joggers, flip flops, and worn-out shoes. If there are no basics in the wardrobe, a few essential items like two shirts for the first few days could be purchased. However, Heß advises against buying everything new at once.

Waiting for a shopping trip or larger purchase would allow trainees to get a better sense of the training day and make informed decisions about which items are truly needed.
