A person’s dress code at the workplace can strike the difference between tantalising and smart. So how do you dress?
Dressing up is what most women invest a major chunk of their time in, but what has been a major question is what makes for toe-the-line dressing at work?
Recently, one read about Debrahlee Lorenzana, whose ravishing looks and chic dressing sense got her the boot from a banking firm in New York. The 33-year-old single mother alleged that her co-employees found it hard to work in her tantalising presence. Apparently, her colleagues thought her voluptuous curves were a distraction for co-workers and clients.
When it comes to what is right to wear at work, a list of online resources pour in abundant suggestions on office dress codes with specifications like colour, hairstyles, make-up, etc. Indian celebs reveal whether to stick to the over-the-years defined notions of corporate dressing or dare to resort to the comfort of casual apparel.
Singer Manasi Scott opines, “Dressing depends upon the attitude more than the dress itself. I don’t think you can be provocative unless you choose to be; you can even wear skirts to office and not land up in trouble if you don’t intend to seek attention.”
Television actor Ridhi Dogra feels dressing provocatively in office means inviting trouble. “People believe that pretty girls are not bright enough to do any work, so dressing boldly only puts one into a quagmire,” she adds.
It’s annoying how women are scrutinised by their colleagues over what they should and shouldn’t wear. To be safe, when it comes to dressing up for office, crisp, creased shirts paired with impeccable contrast pants are still considered the quintessential choice. One must bear in mind to draw a line between party and casual wear.
“There are many ways to turn heads, if that’s what you want,” adds Dogra. Actor Gracy Singh does not believe in dressing provocatively. “Today, people are smart enough to understand where brains lie,” she says.
A survey reports that if people don’t dress properly for a job, others assume they don’t take their responsibilities seriously. Perhaps, Lorenzana was a victim of the same. Maybe the key is finding out the acceptable norm.
