hiffon shirt, Midi / mini skirt and flats? Medical
Cstudent, Yes we know but that doesn ' t really have to be you, not all the time anyways. We all know the medical school dress code can be a bit strict / rigid but good news is you don ' t have to wear the same plain ol ' ' med student ' uniform and the key is in spicing up your ' corporate ' outfit. I ' ll be sharing three ways to still stay stylish, and look unique while not breaking any of the med school dress code rules. Let ' s Dig in
1. ALL TIED UP Because who says ties are only for boys huh? and I never heard there ' s a rule against girls wearing ties to school. I once rocked a bow tie to clinic and my senior registrar gave me thumbs up.
2. GO RETRO Vintage is still definitely all the rave! Especially the print shirts. They ' re different, striking, comfortable, and is a sure way to add life to any outfit! But make sure to tone it down by not wearing a loud skirt or pant.

3. MIX IT UP! You start with one print, layer on another and another depending on how brave you are. Although I must admit that Its a bit tricky, you might miss it and end up looking like a walking clash on prints. Uhh, not a pretty sight I tell you. I ' ll give you a cheat tip here, start with stripes or polka dots, they always make a good blank sheet.

Although these are guaranteed to make you look stylish and of course stand out, be warned that it might also attract a bit of unwanted attention. Unwanted if you ' re like me who tries to avoid being quizzed in front of everyone in a ward round so Yes! you also have to be able to move stuff so you don ' t appear bright on the outside but stony dull on percussion!!!
