Companies in Russia have become easier to handle the office dress code

The majority of companies (35%) limit themselves to style recommendations without strict control, while 30% maintain an official dress code. Every fifth employee can choose clothes freely, and only 12% face unspoken expectations. This was reported to Izvestia on July 25 by SOKOLOV analysts and the <url> job search and personnel service.

It turned out that the trends of the last year indicate a relaxation of the rules: 42% of Russians note a democratic approach to office clothes, and 22% observe an increase in loyalty to self-expression. Only 8% of respondents noticed the return of formality.

"Modern office style requires less and less rigid framework. Jewelry and wardrobe details become tools of self-expression, while maintaining relevance. The main thing is the balance between individuality and accuracy," said SOKOLOV Product Director Elena Rakutina.

The influence of style on a career remains ambiguous. For 30%, it is important only in public roles, 25% believe that excessive extravagance can get in the way. At the same time, 22% are sure that clothes form the first impression, while 23% rely solely on professionalism.

Analysts noted that modern companies are gradually abandoning strict standards, allowing employees to emphasize individuality within the framework of their business style.
