This is what Generation Z girls wear to work (tiktok)

As the sons and daughters of Generation Z returned to office work with the waning of the Corona, many of them began to share on social networks photos and videos of themselves from a "normal work day at the office" that usually inspire envy.

However, the adults among us (Generation X and below) could not help but raise an eyebrow when they noticed how the young female workers dress for the office today, when they give up formal clothing in favor of a casual and even bare look that is suitable in the eyes of older people for going out to the club.

In one of the videos recently posted on TikTok, Dani Cleric, a young interior designer/creative director, shared her everyday look: a white mini skirt, an open top with short sleeves that reveals a yellow lace bra, and transparent yellow knee-high socks.

"If I had a corporate job, this is how I would dress for work," the TikToker said confidently in a post that has garnered more than 200,000 likes.

She added: "Because who will tell me anything?".

The New York Post reported that by traditional standards, the younger Generation Z and Y definitely don't dress for office work - and you can see it in the thousands of videos tagged with #workoutfits.

Female network influencers are seen dressed in short skirts and see-through blouses and tops - which in the not-so-distant past would have earned them a scolding call in human resources.

"I understand dress codes, but I think they've become outdated," said Kaylee Burunkel, 31, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and works in a corporate job.

Burunkel, who has warmly embraced her figure and likes to show it off in bright colors, said clothing shouldn't be a significant issue - as long as the person is doing their job.

"How a person dresses is his statement about and with himself," she said, "I want to look good so I can feel good."

The older and more conservative workers will observe the younger generation's approach to office wear with a mixture of bewilderment and longing.

"I've noticed some problems among younger people," said David Bradshaw, 45, president of Northstar PMO, a Boston-based human resources outsourcing firm. "Young workers dress casually. They don't have strict dress codes."

Cindy O'Pake, of O'Pake Human Resources and Consulting in California, has long been in favor of looser dress codes in the office, but she thinks the younger generation sometimes takes it too far.

She claims that sometimes this indicates a lack of awareness: "In some cases, they come to the office dressed in clothes that are more suitable for clubs than for a professional setting."

Clothing brands, meanwhile, have been quick to notice the trend and market according to the changing norms.

Trend-driven brand Reformation caused an uproar online last month with an email from the advertiser about their "office version," with models wearing strappy dresses, open blazers and shorts.

"Add 'best dresser in the office' to your resume," the email said.

Susan Smallshaw, the senior director of fashion and styling at Rent the Runway, a company that rents out designer clothes and accessories, told the Post that when employees returned to the office, they noticed a significant drop in the number of "business formal" rentals, almost in half from 2019.

"Men are breaking away from the basic black suit and opting for bolder, printed options," Smallshaw explained, adding that the use of jeans has increased by 56% since 2020, indicating a more relaxed dress code in workplaces.

Smallshaw said some companies don't complain about the blazers and crop tops — and simply let workers wear "pretty much whatever they want" as a "one-of-a-kind perk."

She added: "Expression is a very important thing in certain industries - especially in the creative industries. People want to bring not only their work to the table, but their personality, their style and their creativity."
