Innovation in the fashion industry often sparks a revolution in how we look and changed the way we think about clothes. Yet, it still has to be based on the real world and reflect what people wear on a daily basis. So, what could the changing standards of dress codes across the planet mean for the industry?
Dress Codes Are Becoming More Relaxed
Today, dress codes in establishments outside of the workplace have been shifting to allow more and more freedom. Casinos, for example, were once noted for strict dress codes. Part of the reason for this was to give them an air of exclusivity and luxury, fitting in with the overall brand message given out by the big casinos in places like Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, and elsewhere.
Over the years, the switch to online casinos has allowed more people to try these games without worrying about what they wear. We can see how new customers from all backgrounds are welcomed by looking at a no wagering site like Mr Q, which offers a wide range of slots and appeals to players with different tastes and lifestyles. Interestingly, their live-streamed table games maintain an opulent setting as the human dealer is typically smartly dressed.
Perhaps we’ll start to see new fashion collections based on the clothing that players can wear while using an online casino at home. With many land-based casinos now having more relaxed dress codes too, it wouldn’t be a major surprise to see this lead to a new era of comfortable yet stylish casino-inspired attire.
Offices Now Encourage Dressing Down
The days of dressing up to go to work have ended for many people, with office dress codes relaxing noticeably in the last few years, also partly thanks to a shift to remote or online working. Offices that perhaps only had a dress-down day once a week are now letting staff decide how relaxed they want to be every day they go to work. This has led to a greater variety of clothing being used, as everyone gets to express their own style.
Because of this, we can expect to see fashion collections increasingly aimed at giving people the variety they need to go to work feeling good five or six times a week. We may see different trends emerge, as some workers decide what style they want to project in the office, while others decide to diversify and choose a different style each morning. This should present numerous opportunities for designers to create new types of stylish work outfits for us to enjoy.
Stricter Dress Code Will Always Remain in Some Places
While establishments like casinos and workplaces have become more relaxed, exclusive restaurants and clubs may be among the places that maintain their dress codes or even make them stricter. This is a way of making entry more exclusive and promoting a feeling of luxury.
Therefore, the people who enjoy going to these places will continue to look for clothes that meet the tough dress codes.
The success of the fashion industry will continue to be based largely on predicting and promoting new trends, so a good understanding of the changing dress codes across the world is essential for designers and manufacturers.
