▍原文

Companies understandably want workers who deal with the public to look respectable.

Workers shouldn't wear clothes that wouldn't be appropriate if visiting a prudish grandmother or a child's teacher.

And yet no one should be expected to turn up at the office as if dressed for a wedding.

The most important item to bring to work is a dose of sartorial common sense.
