Should your job be able to dictate what you wear for work, apart from enforcing a uniform?

Yes, I think your job should be able to dictate a dress code, there are many professions where your attire could spell the difference between making a deal or losing it.

No, I don't think your job should have any power to dictate a dress code. We're a meritocracy where your talents are the only things you need to succeed.

I don't know. I've never really understood fashion.

In the spirit of the condescending reality shows on fashion, the Chicago Bar association held a fashion show to demonstrate what exactly you shouldn't be wearing in court or dealing with a client.

Though the law profession is similar to the corporate world in terms of formality and dare I say it, stuffiness—would wardrobe really detract from a brilliant legal mind? Or is this yet another shot from the bow of a largely misogynistic boys club who can't really distinguish between harassment and harassment.
