in western business the concept for dress is conservative. this means nothing too flashy, too provocative, too casual, too tight or too revealing.for ladies, the following dress items are common: pant suit, knee-length skirt or full-length dress, blouse, dress pants, jacket, high-heels and dress shoes. for men these are the accepted norms for business attire: suit and tie. the recognized business colors are black and gray（dark or light）, but some companies have established others as their recognized colors, such as blue. the following items are usually not acceptable in most white-collar environments: jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, open-toed or low-cut shoes（low-cuts）,loafers and sneakers. however, many western businesses have adopted what is commonly referred to as casual fridays or dress-down fridays. they allow employees who are not dealing directly with the customers to wear casual attire, including some of the usually non-acceptable items mentioned above.
西方商界对于上班着装的观念比较保守，衣服不能太浮华张扬、太随便、太紧或太暴露。对于女士而言，比较常见的有长裤西服装、齐膝短裙或长裙、衬衫、正装长裤、夹克、高跟鞋和时装鞋这样的着装。而对于男式来说，大家认可的商务着装是西服和领带。公认职业装的颜色是黑色或灰色（暗色调或浅色调），但有些公司采用别的着装颜色，比如蓝色。以下罗列的着装在大多数白领工作场合通常是不被接受的：如牛仔裤、t恤衫、圆领背心、露趾或低帮鞋、平底鞋和运动鞋。然而，现在许多西方公司中都实行周五便装日，他们允许那些不直接接触客户的雇员们身着休闲装，包括上述一些在白领工作场合通常不被接受的服饰。
