LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte—Goodbye mini-skirts, shorts and leggings.

Starting June 2, government workers particularly those fashionable women at the Provincial Capitol are no longer allowed to wear micro or mini-skirts, shorts, leggings and other extra-revealing clothes during office hours.

For men, black slacks and denim pants including T-shirts with collar may do on a “free” day like every Friday starting June.

In a memorandum circular issued by the Human Resources and Management Office (HRMO), Sonia Siazon, HRMO department head, reminded all employees to observe the appropriate dress code while inside their offices.

“As government workers, we should maintain modesty and proper decorum,” Ms. Siazon said.

For several times now, some Capitol employees are observed not wearing their office uniforms and instead they wear trendy clothes such as mini-skirts and sleeveless tops which is a no-no in the corporate world.

Ms. Siazon said wearing a corporate attire commands respect from the public they serve.

She added that all casual and permanent employees shall be wearing the prescribed new office uniform of the Ilocos Norte government every Mondays to Thursdays except on Friday which is regarded as a “free” day.

Job order employees may also consider wearing decent office attire with collar.
