"French elegance isn't just about wearing the TGV Inoui uniform. For teams that don't wear it, such as those in Remote Customer Service, Supervision, or any other non-customer-facing role, French elegance is also part of the brand's DNA. It's lived, felt, and expressed at every moment. This guide is a tool at your disposal to support you, whether you wear the TGV Inoui uniform or not."
"A woman with a triangular body shape should avoid 'a tight skirt, large pockets on the hips' and favour 'a light or coloured top, structured jacket, shoulder pads, or wide collar' in order to 'rebalance the silhouette in the upper body'."
"The employment contract for sales agents stipulates only the wearing of the regulation uniform. Period. The company has no right to judge its employ[ees]."
SNCF commissioned a 40-page guide offering employees advice on dressing and applying makeup to embody 'French elegance' according to their body shapes. The guide used illustrations to show different body types with specific clothing recommendations, such as advising women with triangular figures to avoid tight skirts and favor structured jackets, and suggesting men with rounder figures wear dark, structured clothing to appear slimmer. Although the guide imposed no mandatory dress code beyond the regulation uniform, it provided styling suggestions for both uniformed and non-uniformed staff. Rail unions, particularly Sud Rail, objected strongly, arguing the company had no right to judge employees' appearances beyond uniform requirements. SNCF subsequently withdrew the guide.
