While some have questioned their style of doing things, for example in the workplace - the group has broken away from practices common with previous generations, especially Gen X and the Boomers, such as working at one employment station for the better part of their working years - and have embraced the 'do you ' mantra.

For them, it is not enough to have a salary. For many Gen Zs, work has to be meaningful for them to stay with an employer. And even then, it is not uncommon to have them switch employers every so often, sometimes after a couple of months.

This generation doesn't take the 'dress how you want to be addressed ' slogan to heart and will show up to work in jeans, a crop top and even crocs or sneakers. After all, it's the talent that counts, right?

On the subject of dressing, Gen Z have been easy to spot in the recent protests that have rocked the country as a section of citizens protest against the contents of the Finance Bill 2024.

Clad in sneakers, black crop tops, and cargo pants and other trendy wear, many Gen Zs have been captured exercising their democratic rights to protest in the streets. From Nairobi to Eldoret, the youths have been hard to miss, making up the majority of protesters. 

However, the group, and all protesters in general, have been warned against showing up to protests in certain attire.

Specifically crocs, tank tops and any other attire that leaves the body exposed.

In an X Space conversation held on Monday night ahead of today's expected protests against the Bill as it heads to the committee of the whole house, protesters have been advised to dress appropriately, with clothes that fully cover their bodies to reduce the effects of teargas.

"Please dress appropriately. Cover yourself up. I know it's baddie season, crop tops and shorts... but  cover yourself as much as you can. Remember teargas goes for moist surfaces. You're going to be sweating so as long as it lands on your skin, it's going to irritate your skin," Dr Hope, a medical doctor, said during an X Space titled 'Dos and Don'ts during protests' organised by Eric Muriu, an advocate of the High Court.

Hope advised protesters to refrain from wearing open shoes and crocs, and instead opt for sneakers, which are functional and comfortable, or boots. 

On jewelry, protesters were advised to wear the  most dainty pieces if necessary.

"Avoid wearing loops or jewellery that can put you at risk of someone grabbing it or it getting attached to something" she said.

"Avoid wearing makeup because once the teargas gets to your face, you'll have to wash it and it will irritate your eyes more."

She went ahead to advise the wearing of personal protective equipment (PPs), whether the N95 ones, or the basic masks. 

Protesters were advised to have situational awareness and behaviour aware of their surroundings. 

The protests today come amid an uproar following a series of abductions of online influencers who have been criticising the Bill.
