Us: wear Friday.

American traditional large companies to employees

Employees also need to decide what to wear according to the specific circumstances, attend formal meetings or see customers in formal dress.

Some companies like IT and other emerging industries are not so strict with their clothes. It is reported that companies in demanding companies and even people wear slippers to work.

Japan: Dress strictly required

In Japan, the government and companies are strict in their dress requirements, even in hot summer.

In some counties of Japan, female civil servants wear uniform clothing when they go to work: grey vest and skirt, and their own coloured shirts.

In addition to fashion companies and Internet companies, the "Friday casual day", which prevails in North America, has never been popular in Japanese companies.

Recently, the Japanese government launched an energy saving campaign called "cool business".

The action required civil servants to throw their suits and ties in their homes and wear casual clothes to work this summer.

Even so, there are still some requirements for the dress Handbook issued by the Ministry of environmental protection of Japan, such as the proper collocation of belts and shoes.

Media reports also pointed out that past experience shows that the "modification" plan is hard to succeed in Japan.

In 1979, after the second oil crisis, Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira wore a half sleeved suit and tie, in order to show a new image of energy saving, but his new image was not accepted by the Japanese.

Holland: male staff can not wear short sleeves

Companies are generally conservative, requiring male workers to wear suits and ties.

In the company room, men can take off their jackets, but shirts still need to be worn, because European bosses are generally disgusted with seeing their men wear short sleeved clothes.

For girls, they must wear suits, usually shirts and "one-step skirts". When the weather is hot, they should wear long stockings. Short sleeved tops are acceptable, but they must not wear sleeveless clothes.
