Well...in my former life, some of the female members of the management team would come to work dressed as if they were ready for a night out, covered in sequins and bling. Hence a memo from the retail director reminding management of the need to dress appropriately for a professional working environment.
Yeah, fair point. The old gender-inequality-work-dress-code scenario.

In my work now, it's pretty relaxed but for guys it's at least shirt and shoes - while the women can basically wear what they want (the only exclusion t-shirts really)
Surely it depends on the workplace, the task and the interaction with the customers.
If I dress smartly to interact with customers, then I end up dusty if I'm in the warehouse, so I wear company t-shirt and denims, but I wouldn't like to deal with a scruff like me in a posh clothes shop.
One of the local call centres insists that male staff wear collar and tie - to answer the phones. What's the point?

True, true! I remember being a bit shocked one Xmas at work, when the whole mgt team rolled up in black t-shirts and trousers the week of Crimbo, but it made sense as we all got filthy mucking in filling, and moving things. I adopted the same thing the next year, in a different store, and was met with shock horror by my colleagues!

Welcome to my world: I sit in an office all day (doing important finance-type works, obviously) and never see anyone outside the company, yet we all have to be fully suited-and-booted at all times.
my work has a casual dress code, which for IT means that we can get away with pretty much anything from shorts, t-shirt and flip flops, to trousers and shirt (when meeting customers)
The MD at my old company never employed women in the senior department and he used to joke in our meetings (senior dept meetings), that at least he knows everyone would dress appropriately in our department.
All the women on his floor had to wear to a shirt; however, one the other floor it was a different matter - at times, t-shirt, jeans and trainers :-0

You don't work on my floor do you?
I don't think so......
One advantage of said lunatic dress code is that there's never any doubt about what one should be wearing. It's all the really petty stuff like not even being allowed to loosen your tie that gets effing irritating.
(Dark brown tie today. Quite sombre for such a fine sunny day.)
