New Wardrobe for FY1

I’m Male and due to start F1 this August (or sooner who knows!) and I’m looking to rejuvenate my wardrobe before, can anyone recommend whether chinos / suit trousers are better? Is it better to wear trainers, suede or dress shoes? And if you have any other advice, that’s appreciated! I’ve realised that I’ve never really paid attention to what junior doctors tend to wear and perhaps I should have!

It’s all really personal preference. You can’t go wrong with an Oxford button down shirt, chinos and a nice pair of shoes. Some people wear trainers but they’d have to be smart trainers, not a pair of airforce 1s in a red\black colour way, etc. Keep it simple and a little bit classy and you’ll be fine. Now if someone could tell me how to get a goddamn haircut ......

My guy wore trainers to placement LMFAO!!!!!?! Why on earth would you step down your game on appearance as you step up responsibilities as an F1.
Go fot the classy look mate.. Nice fitting shirts, well cut trousers and smart shoes. Look the part and you'll smash the part! Best of luck with Fy1

I think more senior trainees are more likely to wear trainers tbh. They have the confidence to know what is important and what is not.

On the whole I don't notice what someone is wearing at all.

One thing that would annoy me - my friend in London said it was not infrequent for female ward doctors to wear high heels. Like... that is just really impractical surely? you gonna be cannulating and doing CPR in those are you?

I think that's slightly silly. If the doctor wants to wear high heels that's his or her prerogative and as long as they look professional, it's fine. You may thinks its painful but I dont think it's anyones business but the person wearing them.

Admittedly I didn't quiz about the context - for example in a clinic I wouldn't see a problem with it (except their comfort and bunions, but that's their choice), although even there I've never seen it.

I'm just legitimately wondering how you can do CPR wearing heels, or bend down for a cannula or catheter, or walk at the speeds generally required of most ward rounds I've been on (and certainly any I've lead!). If someone was slowing down my ward round because of their shoe choice I would be annoyed yes!

But I don't exactly wear heels so... maybe you can do those things? Can you?
