Annotation: Based on modern concepts of fashion theory, the analysis of evolutionary changes in the corporate business dress code of the period 1906-2020 from the standpoint of the influence of political and foreign economic factors is carried out. Ambivalent reactions from the participants of the dress code to the change of corporate style at each stage of evolution are revealed. It is established that the tightening of the corporate dress code is characteristic of the stages of macroeconomic recovery and is due to the increased intensity of competition, which confirms the consideration of examples of the evolution of the dress code of blue-chip companies. The rethinking of the dress code policy, up to the rejection of formalised requirements, is cyclical and occurs during periods when the appearance of employees ceases to be an effective method of increasing competitiveness, including due to the growth of "unspoken" violations – manifestations of ambivalence on the part of employees.
Keywords: uniform, dress code, fashion theory, ambivalence, costume design, business attire, corporate dress code policy
