Dress code

Hey all,

this might be a rather irrelevant question, but I was still wondering: What's the dress code for trainees in the Commission? I am aware that it wouldn't be appropriate to show up with jeans, but is it more business casual or do we have to dress up with suits/dresses?

Thank you and can't wait to see you soon in Brussels!
One month

it all depends, jeans might be acceptable in some places but in some not really, which DG is it?

Great question I have been wondering the same.
What about DG TAXUD?

See you in Brussels

Aneena, thanks! It's DG ELARG. Do you know about the dress code there?

And about DG Digit??

Thanks!!

Well actually I don't know if I should write it here since it's just my personal idea about certain DGs so I probably shouldn't be sharing it in a public forum Anyways be prepared that there are considerable differences between different DGs.

Thanks Aneena, but the differences between DGs are only related to teh dress code??

Hey Aneena, thanks! But could you write me a PM for the dress code in DG ELARG? Just a little hint would already help me...

hello dear all!
Aneena please can you sent me an email concerning the dress code for DG Budget ? I ask you that because I ll have a long distance until Bx and I want to knowwhat to bring with me or not as my luggage....
Thanks so much!!!

Oh, does really nobody know about the dress code at EU institutions in general? Former stagiares, where are you? It would be really really helpful to know...

Hi guys,

I asked my contact person in the EC and told me " There is no particular dress code. I suppose it could be described as "smart". It actually also depends a lot from one service to another". So, I am in the same situation as before, please any advice on DG DEVCO? thank you very much!!!

it's simple - don't wear jeans and try not to outdress Barroso.

I'm wearing jeans today just as most of my colleagues in the unit, so it really depends
