In corporate the employee has to be “presentable” and should dress “right”.
The dressing protocol is followed all over the corporate world. Different sectors have different set of rules for their male employees to dress. The reasons given for the same may be ranging from culture, atmosphere to ethics. So what is this right dressing? The dressing styles vary according to industry to reflect the culture and work ethics of the work place. Since the atmosphere / outlook within certain business communities, for example an ad agency, tends to be informal, the attire of the employees reflects this outlook. On the other hand, the protocol of corporate dressing in sectors such as IT, hospitality, banking, etc, is more conservative as it reflects directly on employee professionalism.
The attire of an employee of a particular industry does speak about the company's work ethic, image and culture. It adds an impression of professionalism, intelligence, and commitment that enhances the overall credibility of the company. Similarly, non-adherence to a dress code can send out a message of discredit and incompetence. People are one of the strongest expressions a company can have of its corporate brand. Impressions which people create do say a lot about the company's work ethics or corporate brand image. And, dressing style has a very high weightage in the first impression that an individual can create.
