Instagram boss Adam Mosseri is 'pro' wearing shorts in the office: 'When it hits, it hits'
Rising temperatures and virtual work have pushed some office workers to wear shorts. Instagram head Adam Mosseri is in favor of them.
Instagram's chief Adam Mosseri has declared himself "pro" shorts in the office, though he acknowledges not everyone can pull them off effectively. Mosseri shared his stance on the subject during a podcast called "Throwing Fits," where he discussed a heated debate within his company's office. He firmly believes in the trend, asserting that when it "hits," it truly hits.
However, he clarifies that not all shorts are suitable for the workplace, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right style. The concept of wearing shorts to work was once frowned upon in corporate America, but the rise of warmer temperatures and remote work has shifted the conversation. A 2023 survey by The Wall Street Journal revealed that 60% of respondents believed shorts were acceptable attire in the office, with millennials leading the approval at 75%, while only 57% of those over 58 years old agreed.
Despite being a subsidiary of Meta, Instagram's fashion-forward approach has led to a more relaxed dress code, as its staff members tend to dress better according to Mosseri. He admitted that his opinion wasn't a one-size-fits-all rule, acknowledging that different individuals have different preferences when it comes to workplace attire.
