#dress-code

Dress codes are stupid.  Especially when the job is not customer-facing in any way.  Like, who cares what people wear as long as it’s not showing body parts that are unacceptable for work?!  But Companies still persist in trying to micromanage employees.  Also, dress shoes legit hurt my feet and slow me down.  So I wrote a letter to leadership at my corporation.  It was persuasion to just go…

My company recently changed the dress code to make it more casual.  Yay!  We can wear jeans every day instead of twice a week.  Hoodies are in play once a week.  Everyone was happy.  Except, they said sneakers can only be worn on Friday (I have been wearing them every day) which seems like a step backwards.  I have been devastated about it and at a loss what to do:  Take my chances, hope I…

Strict dress codes are nothing new, especially for teenage girls, but one school in Los Gatos, California, might actually change its policy after this dad spoke up for his 13-year-old daughter.

Around the beginning of the school year last month, Demetra Alarcon was pulled out of class for wearing a romper her teacher deemed too short. Tony, her dad, didn’t have a problem with bringing her a change of clothes — but he was completely fed up after being told that the new outfit was still inappropriate. Now he’s speaking out against Fisher Middle School’s dress code and how it unfairly targets girls.

About her first outfit, Demetra was told that it was too distracting to boys.

School staff didn’t accept the second outfit either because the shorts didn’t have a four-inch inseam.

“I mean, today it’s 90 degrees outside and she’s wearing leggings because she doesn’t want to be dress coded for wearing shorts,” he said. “We have to have dress codes that are fair and reasonable and that don’t cause them emotional issues; cause them to question their bodies or feel like they’re sex symbols at 13 years old.”

If you saw a little girl wearing a sleeveless summer dress, the least likely thought to enter your head is that what she’s wearing is too revealing.

That’s why a father from Las Vegas, Nevada, is so confused about how his daughter was treated at her school. Jonathan Lillis says the six-year-old, who is autistic, carefully picked out her outfit that day and wore it proudly when she went to class — but by the time she got home, she was upset and crying.

Here’s the dress she wore to school. Cute, right?

Well, people at Harriet Treem Elementary school didn’t seem to think so, because they pulled the girl out of class, took her to the office, and made her wear gym clothes over the dress.

“My daughter said ‘they made me look ugly.’ I told her, ‘no you’re not ugly. You’ll never be ugly. You’re beautiful,’” Lillis said. “I didn’t see anything inappropriate with this [dress], and I don’t have anything from the school that tells me that, for whatever reason, this dress is not okay for school.”

This Guy REALLY Wanted To Get Into This Pub, But His Shoes Didn’t Fit The Dress Code

Back in my college days, I was super committed to my favorite pub. I’d arrive early to get a seat on game days and stay late to keep the bartenders company. What this Irish guy did, though, deserves a round of applause. Recently, Ruaírí Brannigan went to his favorite pub to get a drink, but there was one problem: His sandals weren’t up to dress code. So, Brannigan did what any logical person…
