Can anybody tell me what would be a professional attire? a suit? or formal pants with shirt (should he shirt be tucked in or not?) and what about shoes? how long heels can we wear?
Any females out there, I need your help please.

Thanks.

simple but formal. pants or skirts....whichever is more comfortable to you. JUST LOOK DECENT...
i remember trying out 6 shirts and 4 pants to decide what to wear....ended up wearing a black pants...and decent top.....black closed-shoes (which i think is more formal) and my long-sleeved white coat. make sure your stet doesnt have any name tag (they will let you take it out) for your white coat, no embroidered names should be showing...( your name or school name) im not really a make-up person so i just had a lipstick and just let my hair flow like my usual. and please...... ATLEAST iron your white coat (that is what they will see the most) I couldnt believe my eyes when i took my test, this one guy pulled his coat from his back-pack (ALL WRINKLED UP!!) and then again there were ladies who were wearing 2-3 inches stilettos....above-the knee skirts....

bottom line.....what you wear will make an impression on your patients. How do you want them to perceive you? WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO WEAR....DONT FORGET TO BRING THIS WITH YOU ON THAT VERY IMPORTANT DAY........YOUR KINDNESS AND YOUR SMILE!

good luck to you!
