Some Gen Zers are prioritizing their personal style in the office, whether their coworkers like it or not. That includes, in these cases, dressing in a "goth" style.
  • The '"corporate goth" tag on TikTok has over 25 million views.
  • Gen Z workers are reaching for all-black clothing and white face paint when dressing for the office.
  • For some, the freedom to be themselves at work is nearly as important as pay.

Some Gen Z professionals are saying they're not afraid to express themselves at work — and the "corporate goths" of TikTok are a prime example.
