DesdeTrabajando.com se reveló, mediante un informe, que el 42% de los trabajadores en Chile afirmaba que su compañía les pemiría vestir ese día informal, como una forma de hacer un quiebre al finalizar la semana y generar ambientes más relajados y distendido.MBA&Educación Las zapatillas se toman las oficinas MBA&Educación Las zapatillas se toman las oficinas

Most respondents agreed with this measure.54% assured that this measure allows to work more comfortably, which generates greater productivity.However, 69% of respondents who were not benefited from this initiative wanted their company to adopt it.

In search of this comfort, several executives are choosing to wear shoes in their work.Of course, the trend is still shy in Latin America.

María Paz Blanco, image consultant and creator of the Effortless Chic website, says that while in the United States and Europe the large multinationals are more flexible and do not emphasize the clothing, in Chile, for example, it is still associated with formal dress with being goodprofessional.

For María Pía Estebecorena, Image Advisor of Ceimagen and president of AICI Argentina, although you have to be attentive to the degree of formality that has the area where you work, it is convenient for the Executive to wonder how far she is willing to sacrifice her personal styleor comfort for your profession."You cannot occupy a hierarchical charge without the clothing accompanying us because we would be giving a contradiction message," adds the advisor.

Blanco, also adds that while the youngest look for more comfortable and casual shoes, and they know how to better combine the look, 40 -year -old men have a hard time incorporating the shoe.

For executives who decide to venture to wear shoes, Estebecorena and Blanco advise:

A purpose."A key is to dress with a purpose.If I go to a meeting where I have to deal with a client, the most advisable is to adapt to that purpose and transmit strength, security and trust.None of that is transmitted with the shoes, ”says María Pía Estebecorena.

Closeness.Estebecorena says that although the shoes are not seen formal, if it is the boss, they can help transmit closeness, adhesability, equality and modernity.

Suit.María Paz Blanco says that you have to look at the suit, because if it is about dressing a tailor suit, the shoe can be seen out of place.Not so if the pants is from gabardine fabric, hopefully with a not so straight cut it can be seen well with a more casual shoe or shoe.

You can try to innovate with the same lines, perhaps more innavorams, which offer more casual shoes.The white sole, for example.

Color: according to white, the ideal colors are black, gray and brown.And if it is a more creative job, the white shoe is a classic and always looks good

This doesn't even think about it.If these are executives, Blanco recommends not using the shoes with which it goes to the gym, performing sports or neither a very casual material, such as canvas.
