For some people, suits are back. For some people—particularly in the boardrooms (董事会 议室) and comer offices of the biggest companies—they never went away.
The old saying "clothes make the man" is as much of a truth as ever. Today, as always, a well-made suit is not just a crucial business necessity; it also sends a subtle message that distinguishes the wearer as a person of taste and, in many cases, as someone with many zeroes in his yearly income.
What suits don’t do to the same extent they once did is to reveal the wearer’s background. In our age of equality in dressing, one doesn’t need to be a blue blood or an Ivy (名牌大学) graduate to occupy the comer office or know the name of the best tailors. The result is that suits have become less a uniform than an expression of individual style. If you’re conservative in outlook, the odds are you will dress that way too. Like to be a bit flashier? Most likely, so are your clothes.
What has also changed is the way men buy suits and the occasions on which they wear them. Around the turn of the last century, men of all backgrounds and careers wore ties and a suit pretty much everywhere. These days men are more selective about when and where to dress up or dress down. A board meeting? Wear a suit. A business lunch? The same. A relaxation at a hotel by a lake? Not if you don’t want to look like the hotel manager.
There are three key elements that go into choosing suits: price, style, and quality. Suits can be broken down into three basic styles: European (i. e. Italian), British and American. Many designers cross cultural lines. For tailoring options, the made-to-measure is the finest. Made-to- measure suits are created by highly skilled tailors to fit your every inch. They may ask you to try on five times before they complete and the starting prices mn upwards of $ 3, 000.
Which is the least likely occasion for a man to wear a suit?
选项
A、A meeting with other board directors.
B、A business appointment.
C、A weekday at the comer office of big companies.
D、A holiday at the seaside.
答案
D
解析
本题考查推理判断。第四段最后说“出席董事会或商务午餐要穿西服,若在湖边的旅馆中度假,你要不想穿着的像旅馆经理就不要穿西服了。”因此D为正确选项。C中的corner office是公司角落里的独立办公室,即经理办公室。
