The Union Bank of Switzerland, popularly known as the UBS, feels that appropriate dressing by its staff helps business. So a few months back it released a manual incorporating a Dress Code for its employees.
Here are some of the recommendations from this Dress Code:
-Your jacket should be buttoned while standing
-When sitting, the buttons should be undone.
-Store your suit on a large hanger with rounded shoulders to preserve the shape of the garment.
-Get a haircut every four weeks to maintain your hairstyle.
-Don't eat garlic and onions
-Don't wear short-sleeved shirts or cuff links
-Don't wear socks that are so short you might expose your leg while sitting. Also, don't wear socks that are opaque
-Don't use tie knots that don't match your face shape and/or body shape
-Women are encourage to wear flesh-coloured underwear and stockings
-Women's skirts should not be "too tight behind."
Hope this helps you in handling the economic slowdown, UBS.
