Some companies have uniforms for their staff which must be worn at all times. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this.

Some companies require their workers to wear

uniforms

at all times.

This

rule aids in creating a professional

work

environment and it is more convenient for employees.

However

, it costs a lot of money and the

colours

of the

clothes

are not always suitable for everyone. On the one hand,

uniforms

help in creating a professional workplace. If employees are wearing the same

clothes

, it shows that they have respect for the place and

people

.

In addition

,

uniforms

provide convenience to employees.

In other words

, it is easier to have a set of

clothes

to wear every day to

work

, because time will not be wasted on finding a comfortable and appropriate outfit. It does not require thinking but

instead

simply just opening the closet and wearing the uniform.

For instance

, the CEO of Snapchat has the same

clothes

he wears to

work

every day and

this

makes him look respectful at

work

and saves time.

On the other hand

, the cost of

uniforms

is high, especially for low-income workers. Most

people

buy more than one uniform as extras for emergencies,

also

people

buy new

uniforms

every few months because

clothes

tend to worsen in shape and colour after constant wear. For these reasons,

people

buy more

clothes

and

thus

require more money.

In addition

, the

colours

of

uniforms

are not suitable for everyone. Light

colours

are suitable for one person but not for another. As an example, colour theory suggests that

clothes

with lighter hues are more suitable for light-skinned

people

while

dark

colours

are better for darker-skinned individuals. In conclusion,

although

it is more professional and convenient for workers to wear

uniforms

in the workplace, it costs money to purchase and colors of

uniforms

are not suitable for everyone.
