"Next time you&amp;#39;re feeling bummed out about your office&amp;#39;s no-open-toe-shoes policy, remind yourself that things could be a lot worse: Your company could regulate everything from how much perfume you wear to the color of your skivvies (really!)...\nPinterestFacebookBusinesswoman on Cell Phone\nPHOTO: Getty Images/Radius ImagesA new set of guidelines just released by the Swiss bank UBS is a whopping 43 pages, according to the Wall Street Journal, and gives Dos and Don&amp;#39;ts that seem pretty preposterous to your average fashion blogger. Aside from the obvious &amp;quot;no short skirts&amp;quot; type of thing, the rules dictate the following:\n\nWomen should not wear new shoes\n\n\nEmployee underwear should be skin-toned and &amp;quot;always made of superior quality textiles.&amp;quot;\n\n\nWomen may wear no more than seven jewels, men no more than three\n\n\nMen are encouraged to wear watches, since they suggest &amp;quot;reliability and great care for punctuality.&amp;quot;\n\n\nSuits have to be charcoal grey, black, or dark blue, and dress coats must always be buttoned when employees stand, and open when sitting\n\n\nPerfume should only be applied directly after showering\n\n__Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox __\nThe dress code is currently being tested in a few UBS offices in Switzerland, and the bank hopes to eventually roll them out to all of their Swiss branches if they have success with the &amp;quot;pilot&amp;quot; project.\nI&amp;#39;m all for professionalism, and I hate the thought of cleavage in the office or overly-aggressive fragrances, but this borders on downright invasive!

If you work in finance, do you understand why this kind of code is necessary? Or do you think people who have gotten far enough to work at a prestigious bank ought to already know this kind of stuff?
