Are you wearing pants and toe sandals? If so, do you dare to enter the office?

In the workplace dress poll, which is based on Ipsos and Reuters in the Market Research Institute, only 20% out of 8090 people in 24 countries have the courage to do so, while those who dare to do so in China's workplace are less than that.

What clothes should the office workers wear in the workplace?

Is there a strict dress code?

Which clothes meet the requirements and which are not required?

What secrets does workplace dress reveal?

The above findings show that there are quite a lot of knowledge behind them.

In this survey, the international sample of adults aged 18 and ~64 and other countries aged 16 and ~64 were interviewed.

According to the survey, 26% of the office workers wear uniforms while they work, 34% of them wear business suits or formal attire, and the rest 40% wear casual clothes to work.

Liu Xiaokui, senior vice president of the Greater China region of Ipsos, pointed out that workplace dress is related to the whole industrial structure of the country and region, and the trend of formal dress will be more obvious if the third industry is the main economic component.

Wearing and working efficiency

More than half of the respondents believed that wearing a more professional suit or formal dress at work was more efficient than those wearing informal work clothes.

In more than half of the 24 countries, more than half of 2/3 countries endorsed this statement.

But it is obviously a vague concept to conform to the professional regulations.

In Silicon Valley, creative people can work at random or even with pets.

And in such a rigorous profession like lawyers, it is always the appearance of a suit dressed in suits.

Although the survey did not survey the respondents in the whole industry, Liu Xiaokui's view that there is a clear relationship between the dressing and the characteristics of the industry.

"Similar business representatives, salesmen, and other industries that need frequent dealings with people are driven by professional needs, usually requiring business suits or uniforms."

He said, "those IT enterprises or creative enterprises belong to fixed office space, and they are more casual in dressing."

In his view, the inherent understanding of things has contributed to such a workplace concept, that is, the more formal it is, the more effective it is.

"When an industry is replaced by a symbolic thing, in the view of the world, this industry should be in such a workplace. If a company goes on an unconventional route, it will feel that the business is irregular or there are some problems."

Even so, those who wear informal work clothes have not been excluded.

In the survey, only 20% thought that casual clothes in the workplace were casual and opportunistic.

In this regard, Liu Xiaokui believes that in a sense, the workplace dress is to inform the workplace people are working in their own state, play a reminder role.

Of course, people in the workplace are not static. On average, 56% of them approve of the practice of wearing a shark skin swimsuit or a bikini suit when working on the beach or having a picnic. The proportion in China is just the same.

Liu Xiaokui thinks that the time when a suit of clothes can be present at all occasions before China has passed. Influenced by western culture, Chinese people's awareness of wearing different clothes at different times and occasions has become clearer.

Wearing and professional class

Forget for a while.

Prada

The glitz in the queen

skirt

High heels, leather bags and scarves.

Did you find that as the young female employee in the movie Andy gradually found his place in the workplace, his clothes changed from the beginning of the student costume into a professional suit.

Is there any necessary connection between workplace wear and career level?

Respondents in the survey did not fully believe that only 37% of the respondents believed in the workplace.

Leisure clothes

They will not be promoted to senior management.

Although 64% and 51% of people in India and Saudi Arabia believe that those who are sportswear are promoted to senior management, there is no doubt that half of the respondents in other countries agree with this statement, of which China is 42%.

In addition, for different income families, their proportion of identification is about 37%, but one phenomenon is that people with high academic qualifications agree with this statement, while the owners and senior managers and decision leaders agree more than 40%.

This is related to a certain extent, but it is also a traditional way of thinking.

"High positions in senior management make people think highly of them.

Clothing

There is a certain expectation, which makes those who have career planning unconsciously have some dress requirements for themselves.

Liu Xiaokui said.

As a result, an average of 66% of the respondents in the survey agreed that senior managers or those who run an organization were always dressed more formally than employees, of which China accounted for 78%.

Moreover, in terms of age, gender, family income and educational background, we have maintained an unanimous view on this issue.

On the other hand, since uniforms are mostly found in productive and service industries, the majority of respondents who work in uniforms have low family income and low academic qualifications, which reach 34% and 36% respectively, which is higher than the average 26%. Liu Xiaokui believes that this is also closely related to their non management and most front-line staff positions.

Correspondingly, most people who wear business suits or formal clothes work for high family income, high education level, senior management or decision making leaders. The proportion of the interviewed group is over 40%.

Of course, among the respondents, an average of 38% of the workers in the interviewees clearly defined a day or time for their employees to wear casual clothes at work time, especially among the respondents under 35 years of age or high family income and higher education, more than 40%.

In China, the proportion is as high as 58%.

"To a certain extent, it also reflects a harmonious employment relationship between enterprises and employees, and has established a respectful relationship between the upper and lower levels."

Liu Xiaokui emphasized.
