Do You Wear Such A Dew To Go To Work?

A few days ago, I wore a low round neck tight dress with a sleeveless dress to go to work. A colleague from my level (by the way, who was much worse off than me) pulled me aside and told me that if I wanted to be respected, I'd better not expose myself to it.

But almost all the other female colleagues in our office are not wearing the same clothes. So I am puzzled: is there any dress code yet? Do others care? In order to see the success of others in the eyes, do I really have to cover myself up to death?

Lucy’s answer

When I first started working in an American bank when I was in my twenties, a woman colleague pulled me aside and told me that my clothes were wrong.

With my first month's salary, I bought a blue suit from fashion designer in the Covent Garden. The Navy wind has a large brass button, and the lower part is a skirt length less than the knee.

As a result, my colleague looked at me with an incredible expression on his clothes.

She said, you look so weird and want to be noticed, and your

But that era is different now.

There was a dress code at that time.

Only stupid people and super rookies get it wrong.

Women must dress up like men.

In order to be taken seriously, they must conceal their gender characteristics.

There is still a set today.

In the past, it was called "ostentatious" behavior.

Catherine Hakim, London School of Economics and Political Science (London School of Economics) puts forward the concept of "sexy capital" (erotic capital).

People with sexy capital can often think of success.

People with strong sexy capital seem to be better off than those who have no sexy capital.

People who don't have many sexy capital naturally can increase their sexy capital by pushing on a pair of beautiful high-heeled shoes, putting on lipstick and wearing a proper skirt.

I guess your colleague may be very clear about this. Her "advice" is actually a protest roar: you have more sexy capital than she does.

But that does not mean that you wear that skirt very well.

It doesn't fit. It depends on the country you live in and the industry you are in.

There is no uniform standard.

We can tolerate the exposure of our hairdresser, but we can not tolerate the exposure to our tax returns.

It's stupid, but that's the way it is.

However, no matter what job you are engaged in, sex is almost always good according to experience, and vulgarity is almost always bad unless you deliberately satirize someone.

It is better to wear clothes in the office than to mock others in the office.

Readers' suggestions

Overexposure is boring.

Men do not want to dress too exposed to women at work - we don't know where to look - to be precise, we know where to look, but we know that we shouldn't look at it, and forcing ourselves to stay away from below the neck is tiring.

Two years ago, some young women in our office liked to dress up.

I say, if you do not strictly abide by the dress code, I will have to expose the belly of my 55 year old middle-aged man.

It worked quickly, and we no longer wore the umbilical cord.

How do women executives wear them?

Don't listen to your colleagues, and learn how to dress the beautiful women executives in your company.

If you work in a law firm, you may have to follow a more conservative dress code in the summer.

However, if you work in the fashion industry, just like my wife, you may not be dressed enough.

According to reliable news, "underwear is worn as a garment this season."

Do not reveal

Yes, dear, there is a dress code.

Although in the office you can actually wear anything you want, but if you really want to be respected, promoted, and expect others to ask for your advice, then you have to abide by the dress code: you should not let people see your back or cleavage.

Judging from your evaluation of the figure of the co-worker, it is obvious that you are wearing a tight skirt to attract attention. This is another dress code that is completely different from one another.

It's not in the bar {page_break}.

A woman should not expose a part of a man without exposing her body, except for revealing a little thigh.

This is the office, not the bar.

In most trading venues, showing women's beauty is neither appropriate nor detrimental.

Try to put on your vest.

Speaking of keeping cool in this weather, consider wearing socks, shoes, trousers, vest (to prevent sweat exudation) and shirts.

Then think about whether your colleagues will be more disgusted if you wear the same clothes to work as you don't wear.
