What to Wear??
Right,
I have recently completed my Fam. Visit and due to start IOT in about 3 weeks. During the visit we were issued with a panphlet titles 'What To Wear'. As you would guess it describes appropriate dress for the various occasions, unde the 'Jacket and Tie' section it says, and I quote,
'In selecting trousers you will never go wrong with a pair in wool (grey, or any hue, is good with a blazer), twill, or smart cotton in summer. Your jacket and trousers should not be the same colour.
So, it mentions you will never go wrong with a pair of trousers in wool, possibly grey!! Is this a realistic option? I recently purchased chinos (very light beige) and a blazer with black shoes (will these be okay? possibly a question for people at Cranwell!!). I cant imagine finding anything to match grey wool trousers.
Cheers
any response would be much appreciated

Has anyone been given the dress code/list for IOT (in the mess, etc) and if so would you be able to post it on here? (specifically the womens one, although the mens will be helpful to others too)
I know we get given one nearer the time but I don't start until May and I won't be able to find all the clothes I need in just a few weeks (I suck at shopping and am a very awkward dress size).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I heard January too - not too long when you consider ours was right at the end of November. Actually, come to think of it - August, November, January - they're all 2 or 3 months apart.rogue0809 wrote:ive been told by a mate of mine that that isn't till january!
Just be thankful it's not us waiting
