. You need to make sure that the impression that you would be making is a good one.很多人會(huì)因?yàn)榇┝藭r(shí)髦的職場(chǎng)時(shí)裝而備受稱(chēng)贊,但事情并非總是如此。如果是辦公室的職業(yè)白領(lǐng),連衣裙就非常適合。Before relying on workplace fashion trends, you will want to take a good, close look at the trend in question. For instance, does the trend require the wearing of a skirt or a dress, no matter what the length? If so, it is important that you look at what you do for a living. If you are in a professional office setting, a dress may be perfect for you. On the other hand though, if you work in a retail store as a manager, a dress or skirt may actually get in the way and hamper your efforts to work and be productive.在追隨這種時(shí)裝潮流之前,要好好地仔細(xì)審視一下所謂的潮流。不幸的是,很多職場(chǎng)新潮時(shí)裝是為工作中的一般大眾而設(shè)計(jì),而非為特定職業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)。在一家新潮的咖啡館或零售店工作,著裝要求很可能是休閑服。But the truth is that there are many more cons of relying on workplace fashion trends than there are pros. For instance, workplace fashion trends do not always distinguish between jobs and careers. If you work at a trendy coffee shop or retail store, chances are that the dress code would be casual clothing. However, if you work at a law office or an insurance pany, you may be required to dress more professionally. Unfortunately, many workplace fashion trends are designed for the working population in general, not specific careers. This is where you can run into trouble if you are not careful.然而事實(shí)上這種追隨弊大于利。好處之一,正如上面所提到的,穿一套時(shí)髦的衣服去上班,很可能會(huì)得到一堆夸獎(jiǎng)。盡管這樣做合情合理,你還是要小心謹(jǐn)慎。Unit 1Each day, many people are looking for trends in workplace clothing, so that they can “fit in” with the fashionable or welldressed crowd. They believe that dressing in the latest fashion trends may give them the reputation of being fashionable and trendy. While it is more than possible to do this, you need to display caution. 許多人每天都在捕捉職場(chǎng)時(shí)裝的潮流,以便能與那些衣著時(shí)尚得體的人們步調(diào)一致。他們認(rèn)為按最新潮流穿衣打扮能為自己贏得時(shí)尚和時(shí)髦的好名聲。What many people do not realize is that there are a number of pros and cons of relying on workplace fashion trends.
