Hello Madumathi83,

Well, all over Europe, it is expected that you dress in a formal way, business suits, skirt or classic pants, blouse, dress.

ICT  :D  depends, maybe jeans and shirts event tshirt would be fine. Depends on the company's policy.

What i would suggest is that you dress formal (european way) for your 1st day/week and have a look around to see how your colleagues dress or perhaps even have a word with your manager.

All the best,
Bhavna
