Have you ever opted for casual attire when going to the office? Most of us would say ‘No’ to this. Corporate Dressing or attire is something every individual wears when going to office, on business trips or for client meetings. But, this seems to be different for Chinese nationals. As per the New York Times report, China’s Generation Z (Gen Z) is opting for comfort over couture. Wearing pajamas to work is now a fashion statement among young professionals across the country. Ditching formal outfits, sweatpants, sleepwear, and other comfortable clothing that make them appear is fast catching up the trend there. Several employees have been posing pictures of them wearing pyjama pants, slippers, and sleeping socks, along with the explanation of the ‘work look.’
What Is Gross Outfit At Work?
The inclination of gross outfits at work has gained popularity on Xiaohongshu, China’s social media platform akin to Instagram. Here, young workers showcase their disdain for traditional dress norms, embracing everything from sweatpants to sleepwear. A 30-year-old interior designer from Wuhan, Hubei province epitomizes this trend, proudly flaunting her “gross” pajamas in the workplace. “I just want to wear whatever I want,” Luo told The New York Times.
