Whether you admit it or not, there is glamour in the life of being a call center representative.

Dressing up for the office is an important matter for it shows your professionalism.
If you want to build rapport among your superior and your colleagues, you need to abide by the dress code of the company you are working for. Do not just show up for work wearing shorts, sleeveless shirt and ordinary slippers. These just not show how capable you are of handling your tasks.
It is always best to have formal or semi-formal attire when you go to work, especially in cases when you do not have a uniform. For men, some of the best options are khaki jeans, chinos, long-sleeved shirts, dark socks and leather shoes. A dark leather belt will complete the outfit. If you are holding a senior position in the company, wearing a tie would be appropriate.
As for the ladies, you can never go wrong with tailored trousers, a simple blouse, cardigan, sweater, smart skirt and a dress. In order to complete the look, you can wear low heel boots, flats and match it up with a good hairstyle. As a call center representative, women should refrain from exhibiting too much skin and wearing too much make-up.
Most of the call center companies nowadays do not have a dress code in order to give more freedom to their employees. They let their employees express themselves through the clothes they wear. However, you should not take advantage of this situation. This does not mean that you can wear just about anything you want. Remember you want to exude professionalism in your work.
Also, dressing appropriately will give you the confidence you need when you are talking on the phone. Even if the customers do not see you, as a call center representative, you feel good and confident about yourself if you are dressed appropriately. Remember, never dress for the job you have, but dress instead for the job you want to achieve.
