The chauffeur dress code is a set of rules that control what clothes a limousine driver can wear. These rules are determined by the limo company that employs the driver. They can set preferred colors for suits, provide some uniforms or specific clothing for the driver to wear. However, the driver’s dress code has some universal rules that must be followed if your employee does not say otherwise.
Let’s look at the driver’s dress code and what items a male driver should wear.
Neck: For corporate races and nights out, the tie is optional. However, a tie is required for weddings, graduations, and other formal occasions. Bow ties are acceptable but unusual. The top button of the shirt collar must be buttoned.
You can wear a coat if the weather requires it. Do not put the coat over a single shirt. Wear a dark suit or jacket.
Suit Jacket – Plain black suits are the preferred choice for most limo operators, but any good quality dark suit is also suitable. Your limo company may have a color preference for a suit.
Shirt: The collared dress shirt is a must. It must be clean and well pressed. White is the universally preferred color for weddings, graduations, and other special occasions. For evening outings, your chauffeur might also be dressed in a smart black shirt. Any good quality black/white shirt will look good and classy. Avoid button-down collars.
Pants: Suit pants that must be combined with the jacket. Of course, preference for black if not specified otherwise.
Stockings: Black or the same color as your suit. If not, at least the same darkness as the suit. Without logos, the images on the prints must be visible.
Footwear: Salons Dress Skin. For black, with laces. Note: people sometimes judge you by your shoes. It’s a good idea to invest in good leather shoes and clean them every day.
Rings: A wedding or engagement ring is always allowed. Other rings should be kept away.
Belt: Leather belt to match your suit. Large belt buckles with logos or symbols are not allowed.
The purpose of the chauffeur dress is to represent the company and make your customers feel in good hands. By following this dress code, you’ll look professional and confident from the moment you step out of the limo. However, the driver needs a lot more than following the dress code to impress customers. On the other hand, a good first impression always helps.
