It is stupid.  I feel your pain.  I don't see anything wrong or "sexy" or unprofessional with simple capris and nice top.  At my other work we had stricked dress code.  But at this office its ok. We don't have casual days at all, but we can wear sandals and capris and skirts (not mini skirts).

I wear PJ's    (different situation I guess) LOL


 


Even when I have had office jobs I would be the one stepping up to the "boss" and starting my own trend on what to wear for everyone.....I was good at what I did so he did not wanna let me go.....and I took advantage of that .....I wore whatever I wanted but kept it respectful enough when I had clients and I was representing his company.....but that was my choice....it was not forced upon me.....


BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO ANYWHERE....SUCKS!!!  


Keep it respectful and logical.....it's common sense really....


I hate being restricted on dress code whether at clubs, work or wherever....I feel it's a way to snatch your freedom of having a choice....but it's a form of respect to the OWNERS or people in charge of the venue or workplace or whatever....it maintains a certain image.....some think that "suits" are more respectable than just Jeans and a nice business casual top...even if both people are getting the same job done.....the one with a suit gets taken more seriously.....


The one choice you do have is QUITTING YOUR JOB!

We can pretty much wear anything to the office.  Fridays are offical dress down days, but they are pretty good about that here.

We have these Friday meetings to apparently voice opinions, communicate, bla bla bla.  Anyway, it has been suggested so many times to have a summer dress code and casual Fridays, but the suggestion never gets followed up on.  So I dont know why they ask for suggestions and input if they`re not gonna do anything about it.

Same for us, everyone's gotta look sharp.  Only business casual days are our Fridays.

It's cool here!  If I am not meeting with clients I can pretty much wear whatever I want but I have a meeting I must dress up same with if the big wigs from Boston are here.


I must admit I am way too casual when I am not seeing clients sometimes I wear flip flops

I work in a call centre. It's pretty casual and clothing is optional since you deal with clients over the phone only

Yeah Capri, that's silly, it's like try to forbide skirts BELOW the knees. What do they want, mini skirts ?

And nothing about tube tops o escotes, open backs, blusa de tirantes delgaditos (estilo) Zara


It was like that where I worked before so, I am not surprised but wait and see, I doubt that it will be respected. At least, I didn't as well as many pple and nobody ever said anything.
