Is it a job orientation? An orientation before starting classes at school?

I'm assuming you're asking about orientation for pharmacy school. I thought people usually wore what they wanted as long as it wasn't inappropriate.

For my school I have been told to wear "professional dress" to my first day of orientation. Of course we also have our white coat ceremony on that day as well.
 
Iowa's orientation said that dress is casual.

Though I'll probably go business casual on the first day just to be safe.
 
This is why I have almost no faith in "the future". Is it really hard to call up the dean or head of admissions and ask "I'm just curious but what is the dress code for this orientation?".

Jeez.

Apparently, the Internet is faster than a phone call, especially during the week.

If you're too shy to ask somebody, then you have to wear a tie.
 
OP, you should dress professionally and here's the breakdown.

Dressing professionally
Pro: You'll fit in by obeying the dress code.
Con: If no dress code then people will call you a dork.

Dressing casually (ie t-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes, etc)
Pro: You'll fit in because there was no dress code.
Con: People will think you're unprofessional and have no place in pharmacy school because you look like a loser.

And there was I thinking you meant sexual orientation and that OK for men to wear high heels and a dress and the girls to wear trousers, brogues and hair cropped.

Contrariwise, women who were overdressed gave a sense of being unsure of themselves. Women who were trying show a youthful appearance were in fact leaving the impression of not caring.
I believe these women were not aware of how strong impression they may leave with their ladies dresses. I draw myself many conclusions. Based on ladies dresses choice, I can guess what a woman's character is. For example, if I see a woman dressed in her daughter's clothes, I think to myself that may be she is very desperate of losing her youth.

From someone pointing to the 'Sexy Depot' in their signature?
