白领口语应急80主题 职场交往61 职场着装

61．职场着装

常用应急场景

范例一：When to wear business suit

You look very professional in the suit.

The company regulates that men should wear a suit and tie in business meeting. Company policy is not negotiable.

I appreciate it. It is related to company image.

范例二：Casual wear

I met a girl in elevator this morning. She works in a company upstairs. She said she envied the casual way we dress for work. She complained about the dress rule in her company. It requires everyone to wear formal clothes from Monday to Friday.

Well, I was wondering where those people with professional attire¹ come from. Now, I know the answer.

You know, in a sense, a suits and ties are compulsory² for male employees even in July, and no jewelry³ allowed for most of the female employees. Even the reasonable male leaf is returning the rule, isn’t that strict?

To some extent, it is. Anyway, whether they like it or not, they do give people a very good impression.

But it is unjust to judge a book by its cover. If they’re not happy or comfortable with their clothes, they can be less productive.
