Swiss banking giant UBS has issued a strict dress code for employees, calling on them to wear "skin-coloured" lingerie and to ditch "fancy and coloured" artificial fingernails.
In a document of over 40 pages, UBS underlined details from head to toe, including permissible hairstyles, what cut of skirt and which type of socks to wear.
Women should not wear "flashy" jewellery or skirts that are "too tight behind."
Underwear must not be "visible against clothing or spilling out of clothing. "Rather, they should be "skin-coloured under white shirts."
Employees should ensure that natural roots are not showing if they have coloured their hair.
Men should wear a "straight-cut two button jacket and pants that make up part of a classic professional suit."
They should not wear ties that do not match the "morphology of the face" nor socks with cartoon motifs.
"The reputation of UBS makes up our most precious asset. Adopting an irreproachable behaviour implies having an impeccable presentation," said the bank, which has been trying to rebuild its reputation since it was embroiled in a evasion scandal that lead to UBS paying the U.S. government $780 million in fines.
The move is part of a test UBS is carrying out in Switzerland across five pilot branches in an attempt aimed at re-establishing confidence in the Swiss bank's brand and mending relations with clients according to the Wall Street Journal.
