What do I wear?

I finally scored a job!! I go in Monday for paperwork, drug testing, and my work photo. What should I wear? I want to look nice, but do I need to dress as professionally as I did for my interview? What would you wear? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, but I didn't really know where to post it. Thank you in advance!

I would wear "business casual." That's nicer than regular casual, but not as formal as a suit. For example, a nice pair of dress slacks and a coordinated top that look "pulled together well," but still comfortable.

Yes.. Treat this like an extension to your interview. Present yourself professionally.

Congrats on the job !!!!

I mean what the first poster stated..No suit is needed but still business like

My facility says business casual as well, but would it be too over the top if I wore more formal clothes? I absolutely love the business look and want to have an excuse to whip out my blazer, shell, and pencil skirt!
