Unit 1 Text A 职场时装潮流许多人每天都在捕捉职场时装的潮流，以便能与那些衣着时尚得体的人们步调一致。
他们认为按最新潮流穿衣打扮能为自己赢得时尚和时髦的好名声。
尽管这样做合情合理，你还是要小心谨慎。
许多人并没有意识到，追随职场时装潮流有利也有弊。
好处之一，正如上面所提到的，穿一套时髦的衣服去上班，很可能会得到一堆夸奖。
这种感觉很不错，也让人引以为豪。
然而事实上这种追随弊大于利。
例如，职场时装潮流往往不区分工作和职业。
在一家新潮的咖啡馆或零售店工作，着装要求很可能是休闲服。
而在一家法律或保险公司上班，着装则需要更职业化。
不幸的是，很多职场新潮时装是为工作中的一般大众而设计，而非为特定职业设计。
因此一不小心就可能出问题。
在追随这种时装潮流之前，要好好地仔细审视一下所谓的潮流。
比如，潮流是不是时兴半身裙或连衣裙，而不论其长短呢？如果确实如此，那么最重要的是要考虑自己的工作性质。
如果是办公室的职业白领，连衣裙就非常适合。
但如果是在零售店当经理，连衣裙或半身裙则可能会妨碍工作，影响工作效率。
很多人会因为穿了时髦的职场时装而备受称赞，但事情并非总是如此。
最不希望的是不但没有受到夸奖，还落下坏名声。
正是因为这个原因，你必须考虑别人对你的看法，你必须确保给别人留下的是个好印象。
到底要不要将职场最时髦的潮流带入衣柜，这个决定得自己做，但在做出决定前请考虑考虑上面提到的问题。
