The Bangladesh Bank has mandated that its employees wear "professional and modest attire", keeping in mind the "social context" of the country.
According to the document, both male employees and female employees have been given guidelines on how to dress, but the prohibitions mainly targeted the latter.
Most instructions remain simple, relating to wearing formal clothes and avoiding casual outfits.
While men can continue to wear short-sleeved formal shirts, women have been prohibited from wearing any article of clothing that has short sleeves, a bizarre decision, especially considering the country's hot and humid climate.
For female employees, short dresses and leggings have also been prohibited.
Instead, they were asked to wear sarees, salwar kameez, simple headscarves, and other "professional, modest and simple clothes".
Men have been instructed to wear formal shirts with long sleeves or half-sleeves alongside formal pants and footwear.
They, however, have been instructed to refrain from wearing jeans or gabbardines.
