Doesn’t every job kind of require a uniform?

While times have changed and dress codes are not necessarily as strict in many workplaces as they once were, most working people have that part of their wardrobe that they designate as ‘work clothes’. Even if they work a job with no official uniform, they are likely to put some thought into what is and what isn’t appropriate to wear when they are on the clock. Heck, even WFH warriors have particular pairs of sweatpants that fit into their work days.  In most roles, it is just a part of basic professional etiquette.

As a result, a lot of employees are not going to be treating the workplace as a fashion show. They want to wear the kind of thing that represents them as a professional and avoids any action from HR. There is every likelihood that what they choose as their work wardrobe is pretty boring and repetitive, not least because most corporate environments are not big on rewarding creativity. So long as they look appropriate and presentable, their clothes should not have to be an issue. Most peoples’ work clothes are not designed to be conversation starters, or even to attract too much attention.
