For centuries, clothing and body adornment have served as forms of nonverbal communication to indicate identity. Now that so much of our lives has been documented online, appearance has become more important than ever before.
Uniforms can provide a shortcut as to what a person’s profession is. Even if a particular job does not have a specific uniform, employees typically conform to a dress code to fit in the company culture.
