Everyone today is obsessing over the 43-page UBS brochure setting forth an elaborate dress code.

"Dresscode UBS à l’attention des collaborateurs PKB" is the formal title of the document.

It's a very typically obsessive Swiss document, with advice on everything from how many pieces of jewelry to wear (maximum of 3 pieces for men, 7 for women) to what color underwear should be donned. There's also some weird stuff, like a ban on women wearing new shoes.

The dress code is being tested out in five branches in Switzerland but may be rolled out worldwide, according to the Wall Street Journal.

My favorite part consists of advice on how to wear a tie.
