Weird Trend, Gen Z in China Prefers Wearing Pajamas to the Office

Weird Trend, Gen Z in China Prefers Wearing Pajamas to the Office.

Dream - Usually, when we go to the office, we will dress neatly and politely. The chosen attire tends to be formal, such as shirts, blazers, blouses, and pants or skirts made from flowing materials, to create a professional appearance.

Especially if you have to have a meeting with superiors like CEOs or clients. There are also offices that have more casual dress codes. Usually, start-ups where most of their employees are Gen Z and millennials tend to dress more casually, like wearing t-shirts and jeans.

As relaxed as our attire to the office may be, we usually still pay attention to the aspect of politeness. Who would have thought that in China, there is currently a trend of office attire that is far from formal and excessively casual.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "Gen Z in China now prefers to wear pajamas and home shirts to the office. They prefer to wear comfortable clothing rather than formal and expensive ones."

"Until there is a term for them as Generation CoZy or the relaxed generation. This trend went viral on Douyin and Weido, popular social media platforms in China. Cindy Luo, 30, an interior designer in Wuhan, revealed that she indeed prefers to wear pajamas to the office."

"\u201cI just want to wear whatever I want. In my opinion, there's no point in spending money to dress up for work because I just sit there," said Luo. The trend of wearing pajamas to the office went viral when an account named Kendou S posted a video of herself on Douyin. In the clip, which has been shared over 1.4 million times, the anti-fashionista is seen wearing a brown sack-like sweater over checkered pajama pants with a layered jacket, and furry house slippers."

This trend is said to be a Gen Z response to economic slowdown, high youth unemployment, and excessive work culture. According to them, there's no need to wear expensive and neat clothes, because it's too wasteful to spend money on fashion shopping.

On the Chinese social media platforms Douyin and Weibo, hashtags #grossoutfitforwork and #uglyclothesshouldbeforwork have sparked a "pajama revolution" in the workplace. This trend has ignited both support and opposition. Those who agree tend to believe that as long as the work is done and completed, it doesn't matter what employees wear. On the other hand, those who oppose it believe that fashion style also reflects the company's image, and wearing pajamas gives the impression that the office is unprofessional.

Observers believe that the COVID-19 lockdown is likely to make actions more normal. In the past, when they had to have online meetings, workers usually only wore shirts while wearing shorts or pajamas underneath because they were not visible on camera.
