The Devil Wears Professional
But, post-pandemic, is there an office dress code?
A funny thing happens on the way through this week’s podcast on workplace fashion.
Our chatty little intergenerational convo makes it sound like we’re agreeing with each other. But you’ll notice our proposed mode/switches are in definite tension.
What else would you expect when intergenerational Mode/Switchers sit down to chat about dressing for the day you have and the matching sock you don’t?
Do you think it’s okay to tell a coworker they look fabulous?
Are you sick of making a million calculations standing in front of your closet?
Do you think managers should make dress codes more or less explicit?
What is the difference between business casual and smart casual?
Pull up an earbud or two and tuck into a conversation at the Mode/Switch Table.
