Workwear – freedom or restriction?
Work clothes.
Whatever dress code you are demanded (or not) to follow, work clothes mean restriction.
It’s not always bad though, because sometimes having an endless choice of “what to wear” can become confusing. Have you ever been lost when having too much choice?
As you probably know, I’m working from home now. Obviously, I don’t have any dresscode to follow, but still, sometimes I feel confused – what should I wear? Not my pajamas, for sure. I don’t want to look sloppy, but dressing up too much is, of course, unneccessary. And what about accessories? Isn’t it just easier without them?
Office jobs can have different dress code, from loose (creative environment, designer jobs) to very strict (banks and other white-collar workplaces). However loose office dress code might be, it still exists – you rarely are allowed to wear bare shoulders, too short skirts or shorts for office.
And if we take it to the extreme, here are the types of jobs, where you have to wear certain workwear (waitresses, medical staff and other jobs that have special rules for safety clothing). In this case, you don’t have to think at all – simply wear the pieces you’re handed by your employeer and you’re ready to go. Which can, of course, be plain boring. Nowadays companies that produce workwear came to realize that people want to look good, so they invest into designing and creating good looking, colorful workwear. One such example is Engelbert-strauss werkkledij (Engelbert-Strauss clothing). You can hardly call their items boring!
It’s not that bad though, since even workwear can look like this!
