There is an age –old saying" man is judged by the boots he wear". But is it only the boots? Well if you ask the corporate world, then boots are not enough. The employee has to be "presentable" and should dress "right".The dressing protocol is not limited to any single industry but has spread its wings all over. Different sectors have different set of rules for their employees to dress. The reasons given for the same may be ranging from culture, atmosphere to ethics. So what is the right dressing code?

It is true that the dressing style vary according to the industry to reflect the culture and work ethics of the workplace. Since the atmosphere within certain business communities, for e.g. an ad agency tends to be informal, the attire of the employees reflects this outlook. On the other hand, protocol of corporate dressing in sectors such as hospitality, IT, banking etc, is more conservative as it reflects directly on employee professionalism.


Mind it that the attire of an employee of a particular industry speaks volume 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.
But now, many organizations have now realized the fact that younger employee of today is more fashion conscious and experiment a lot with style even with his formal wears. The companies are also waking up to this fact and are flooding the market with formal yet fashionable attire.

Remember that dressing perfectly to work everyday today is important for the complete look and feel for the employees and the organization. So, next time you buy that business shirt, make sure that it fits your office culture and gives you a dressed to kill outlook.
讲解
Man is judged by the boots he wear: 观鞋识人

The corporate world: 企业界

Presentable: 拿得出手的,像样的

Dressing protocol: 着装标准

Ethics: 伦理,道德

Attire: 服装,盛装

Professionalism: 职业特性,专业技巧

Non-adherence: 不遵守,违背

Discredit: 无信用,丢脸

Incompetence: 不胜任,不够格

But now, many organizations have now realized the fact that younger employee of today is more fashion conscious and experiment a lot with style even with his formal wears.

此句的句型是"主语+realize the fact that+同位语从句",表示"…意识到一个…的事实",可用于提出观点或引出证据,本句式在论说文中常用。需要注意的是.几乎任何一个名词都可以带定语从句,而只有在内容方面需要进一步阐明的一些抽象名词.如:idea, truth, hope, suggestion, thought, belief, doubt, fear, news, word, fact, promise, order, possibility等才可以带同位语从句.

The companies are also waking up to this fact and are flooding the market with formal yet fashionable attire.

本句话语言颇为生动。Wake up to意为"意识到",与come to realize词义相近,但这里更加形象化,flood with 这个词表示"很多,泛滥",含有夸张的意味.
