I think that a lot of Gen Z and people in general want to invest in pieces they can wear anywhere and really get their money's worth.
So if you're buying a blazer, you want it to be like your office blazer, your going out blazer, your running out to brunch blazer.
Workwear, like all clothing, is emotional.
One of the women I interviewed for this story about how Gen Z is dressing said that a lot of Gen Z thinks that going into an office would be more fun if they dressed well, and I think that's
something that anyone in any generation can probably relate to.
Even before the pandemic, you saw office dressing getting more casual.
I was looking at some old journal articles.
And in 2016, we wrote about how JP Morgan said that employees don't always have to wear suits.
But then, of course, you had the pandemic and everyone's in comfy clothes and
sweatpants all the time.
So I think you both have people wanting to be more casual and comfortable, but then you also have people who, like the woman I just mentioned, want to be able to express themselves with how they dress for the office and they want to feel fashionable and they don't want to feel like this is my buttoned up office look that I would never wear out to dinner with friends.
One of the most interesting parts of reporting this story was learning that a lot of women, especially young women, are shifting away from having like a work section of their closet and an everything else section of their closet.
I think that a lot of Gen Z and people in general want to invest in pieces they can wear anywhere and really get their money's worth.
So if you're buying a blazer, you want it to be like your office blazer, your going out blazer, your running out to brunch blazer.
I think that for all of these things, there are people who are wearing crop tops to the office.
The Journal did an entirely separate article about that.
I wrote...
a story a few months back about women wearing pajama pants as regular pants and sometimes to the office.
And I think with all of these things, it's kind of like you make the judgment call, right?
I also think a big part of it is styling.
