In Brazil, workplace clothing varies significantly by industry and company size. Large corporations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro typically enforce formal dress codes (business formal or business casual), while smaller companies and creative industries are increasingly adopting more casual policies. In the United States, workplace clothing norms have shifted dramatically post-pandemic, with many companies adopting hybrid or fully remote work policies, leading to greater flexibility in professional dress standards.
