CASUAL
休閑裝
Some 53 percent of UK office workers say they no longer have a formal uniform, opting instead for jeans, t-shirts and running shoes.
英國(guó)有大約53%的職場(chǎng)人士稱自己不再置辦正裝,而是選擇穿牛仔褲、T恤衫和跑鞋去上班。
But according to Professor Mair, going casual can be a risk business for senior managers as it 'flattens out any organisational hierarchy'.
但梅爾教授說(shuō),對(duì)高層管理人員來(lái)說(shuō),穿便裝有風(fēng)險(xiǎn),因?yàn)?ldquo;顯得你沒有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)范兒”。
She said: 'It depends very much on the type of business. In the creative industries this style of clothing is typical to enhance creativity without the restriction of formal clothing.
她說(shuō):“這在很大程度上取決于工作類型。在創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè),這種著裝很典型,不會(huì)因?yàn)樯泶┱b而感到拘束,因而能提升創(chuàng)造性。”
'If a manager in finance or insurance wore a t-shirt, jeans and running shoes, they would be considered inappropriately dressed, even maverick.
“但如果金融保險(xiǎn)業(yè)的經(jīng)理身穿T恤衫、牛仔褲和跑鞋去上班,人們會(huì)覺得不妥,甚至覺得他特立獨(dú)行。”
'Leaders in these industries are expected to lead by example and their staff are expected to follow rules. Dress down Fridays are an exception, but even on Fridays, most city workers wouldn't wear a t-shirt, jeans, and running shoes.'
“人們認(rèn)為這些行業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)應(yīng)該以身作則,員工才能遵守規(guī)則。便裝星期五是個(gè)例外,但即便在星期五,大多數(shù)城市職員也不會(huì)穿T恤衫、牛仔褲和跑鞋。”
Conversely, opting for casual workwear as a lower-ranking employee can be a major 'no-no' in some industries - especially for city workers.
反過(guò)來(lái),在一些行業(yè)中,低級(jí)別的員工更不能穿休閑裝,特別是對(duì)城市員工來(lái)說(shuō)。
SMART CASUAL
商務(wù)休閑裝
Describing her views on smart casual clothing, Professor Mair said: 'In an organisation where the management wears suits, a subordinate wearing business casual might seem less ambitious.
梅爾教授在評(píng)價(jià)商務(wù)休閑裝時(shí)說(shuō):“在一家機(jī)構(gòu),如果領(lǐng)導(dǎo)穿正裝,下屬穿商務(wù)休閑裝會(huì)顯得對(duì)工作沒那么有抱負(fù)。”
'If we are to believe the adage "dress for the job you want, not for the job you have", we need to dress in a style similar to those in the job we aspire to.
“有句老話說(shuō),‘你的衣著不是要與當(dāng)前職位匹配,而要配得上你的理想職位’,如果我們覺得這話說(shuō)得對(duì),我們的穿衣風(fēng)格就要與想要的工作相配。”
'We are drawn to people who are like us and what better way to appear like someone than to dress like them. Those already in the position we aspire to are likely to see us more as peers than subordinates if we appear to be like them.'
“我們會(huì)被自己的同類吸引,模仿對(duì)方的穿衣風(fēng)格是拉近你們距離的最好方式。如果我們的穿著打扮和我們理想職位上的人類似,那么,他們更傾向于把我們當(dāng)成同伴,而不是下屬。”
CORPORATE
職業(yè)套裝
'Some professionals in a range of jobs like to wear a suit and tie as it makes them feel more professional,' says Professor Mair.
梅爾教授說(shuō):“很多領(lǐng)域的專業(yè)人士喜歡穿西裝打領(lǐng)帶,這讓他們看起來(lái)更職業(yè)。”
'Although there aren't many studies on this, wearing a suit has been found to make the wearer appear more professional and competent.
“這個(gè)方面的研究不多,但人們發(fā)現(xiàn)穿套裝的確能讓人看起來(lái)更職業(yè),更有能力。”
'The power of belief is strong so if the wearer believes that the suit will make them appear more competent and professional, they may well behave in that way.'
“這種觀念很強(qiáng)大,所以如果著裝者認(rèn)為穿套裝能讓自己看起來(lái)能力更強(qiáng),更職業(yè),他們就會(huì)這樣穿。”
But what about lower-ranking employees? 'This would be seen as inappropriate in creative jobs, but necessary in others,' says Professor Mair.
但對(duì)低級(jí)別員工來(lái)說(shuō)呢?梅爾教授說(shuō):“這對(duì)創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)的職員并不合適,但在其他工作領(lǐng)域沒問(wèn)題。”
'In jobs where workers can choose what they wear, and managers dress casually, a subordinate wearing a suit and tie could be perceived as trying to look more senior than their role.
“在可以自己選擇著裝、經(jīng)理們也穿著很休閑的工作領(lǐng)域,下屬穿西裝打領(lǐng)帶會(huì)被認(rèn)為搶領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的風(fēng)頭。”
'There is also a risk that management might perceive them as not understanding the culture of the organisation or their role.'
“而且,管理人員還會(huì)認(rèn)為他們不理解機(jī)構(gòu)文化和自己的位置。”
DESIGNER
大牌服裝
'A business manager or leader wearing a beautiful and well-fitting suit or appropriate fashion brand will give off an air of style and class which may set him or her apart from subordinates,' says Professor Mair. 'This may be the reason for choosing to wear such clothes.
梅爾教授說(shuō):“業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)理或領(lǐng)導(dǎo)身穿漂亮且合身的套裝,或者合適的品牌服裝會(huì)體現(xiàn)出時(shí)尚氣質(zhì)和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)身份。這也許是他們穿大牌服裝的原因。”
'What we wear is part of our identity, it allows us to show who we are to others. Wearing luxury says we have spending power.
“著裝能體現(xiàn)出身份,讓我們向他人展示出自己是誰(shuí)。穿大牌服裝代表我們有消費(fèi)能力。”
'In some situations (for example, working in social services, for a charity or NGO) this could be considered insensitive, in others (like working in the fashion industry), it would be considered exactly right.'
“在某些工作場(chǎng)合(比如在社會(huì)服務(wù)領(lǐng)域,為慈善機(jī)構(gòu)或者非政府組織工作),穿大牌服裝會(huì)讓人覺得冷漠,但在其他一些工作場(chǎng)合(比如在時(shí)尚業(yè)工作)這樣穿再合適不過(guò)了。”
如何挑選職場(chǎng)服裝顏色?
