Title: Gross clothes for labor.
Age: This is a pattern, but new.
And what does it imply? It means casual, everyday, cozy, some might say clumsy clothes. Nightwear also – pyjamas, boots, that sort of thing.
In the office? That’s taking gown- down Sundays to a whole new level. It’s outfit down every time!
Where? China. And Taiwanese social media. On Douyin ( Chinese TikTok ),” Kendou S” posted showing off her work outfit: slippers, PJ bottoms and a brown sweater dress, set off with a pair of holey woollen gloves.
I’m watching it then – there’s also a robe! Yeah, she probably does n’t want to get the sack. She claims that her employer told her to “glow” with her work clothes and that she needs to” smartize” the company’s image.
Do n’t tell me, it’s gone viral? Yup –. The hashtag “gross outfits for work” spread across Weibo ( China’s version of X ), Xiaohongshu ( similar to Instagram ) and other platforms. Thousands of young employees are defying convention by showing that, for them, job clothes presently means sweatpants, hoodies and, yes, nightgowns.
It’s a revolutionary! In its own little way, certain.
And is there any connection to the economic condition in the entire nation? Good problem. You are probably aware of the “lying toned” movement.
AKA” Tangping” ( as formerly ), which eschews an ambitious work ethic in favour of a simpler, simple- going life? Yes, that. As growth slows, chances are fewer, and younger people are beginning to get things a little easier, even those with work.
Could it also be connected to the crisis? Well that has undoubtedly been happening somewhere. A study found that people are dressing more casually and singularly at job.
Almost surprising, after all the distant and hybrid working. The distinction between home and work has, to be exact, became a little fuzzy.
Pyjamas though, is that not stepping over the series? Also, a second of English employees acknowledged using PJs while working from home. And we’ve always done the class work without getting dressed, also if. The business must be the next logical action, right?
Would say:” I’ve got a gathering now, I’ll wear my best velvet PJs”.
Do n’t say:” Oh, it’s on Zoom? then only the top…”
