We have all been lectured at least once in our lifetimes that we should work on our inner selves instead of physical appearance. If you focus too much on how you look, you\u2019re vain, and that\u2019s a negative thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, we get that. But we also know that in reality, many people are still judged on their attractiveness and how they present themselves. In a professional world, wearing the right clothes can lead to success at work. Since what you wear matters, it\u2019s time to reassess traditional office dress codes and find out which ones we\u2019re saying hello and goodbye to this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a job search engine, we analyzed over 27 million job postings across various industries in the US from March 2019 to March 2023. In this article, you can find the dress codes employers are embracing and ditching and which area in the US is keeping up with the big trend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ditch suits and ties<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re tired of adding muted-color dresses or white shirts to your shopping basket, you\u2019re in luck. Most US workplaces are saying goodbye to the \u201csmart dress\u201d dress code.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Statistically, the proportion of job ads referring to a \u201csmart\u201d dress code dropped from 2.7% in 2020 to 0.2% in 2023. Meanwhile, we\u2019ve noticed the demise of the \u201csmart casual\u201d dress code as well. Precisely, the proportion of job ads referring to a \u201csmart casual\u201d dress code nearly halved since the beginning of the pandemic, from 0.9% in 2020 to 0.5% in 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

And which industries are saying goodbye to business attire? Customer service tops the list of sectors advertising the most casual positions, with 86% of job ads\u00a0 now specifying casual attire. IT and Accounting & Finance come next, with 40% and 57% of job ads respectively indicating a \u201ccasual dress code\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
