They want to put a dress code now for a person who absolutely loves wearing dress clothes I’m very happy 😊 but to those who don’t I’m very sad 😞 you are forced to do something you don’t want to do

Dressing up is just a concept, like stop signs, mere suggestions … dress for comfort and safety, and come as you are 👊🏼🥷🏻😉

Dress code: conquer the day… and steal a few glances along the way💕

We should first recognize that gender codes are socially constructed. Clothing is not inherently masculine or feminine—codes are contextual and can change over time. Aristocratic men once wore bright red heels. Then they became womenswear until that notion was challenged again.

Granted, it helps to have some basic things to get started, so I wrote this post. I don't think that everyone has to dress in any particular way. I encourage you to think of dress as cultural language and learn to *express* yourself in that language putthison.com/the-springboar…

It's impossible to separate discussions of class, gender, and politics from clothes because clothes are inherently expressions about those dimensions. To understand how to dress better, you have to think about the history of social groups and creation of meaning.

1. Think of Style as Social Language I don't believe there's a single "correct" way to dress. Just as there many languages, each with their own unique grammatical rules, there are many aesthetics, each governed by their own ideas about fit, proportion, and styling.

The idea is to understand the design language of each of the things you're wearing, and allowing that to inform your dress decisions. All of this is rooted in social language and culture. I'm reminded of a story Antonio of 18 East once told me.

So when choosing colors, it's helpful to take into consideration certain factors. What will be the time of day? What is the occasion? What is the season and climate? What do you want to express? This is what I mean by "dress is a kind of social language"

I have always been against the idea of respectability in dress and the idea that someone's more important inner qualities can be read off their clothing choices. Have written endless articles about this. Here's a random one in 2020. dieworkwear.com/2020/01/16/res…

IMO, the prob with having your dress sensibility governed by notions of respectability and propriety is that this often chains you to an ugly aesthetic (e.g., slim fit button-up shirt and chinos), rather than allowing you to explore culture and aesthetics in a richer way

IMO, dress should say something about you. It should work for your personality and lifestyle. That means learning how to use clothes as language. I once wrote about two friends with very different styles, but each suited for their personalities. 🔗: blst.to/PynzUNR

Some people naturally dress well because their dress is a reflection of a scene with cultural capital. If you've ever been into any kind of scene, you know there are certain dress norms, even if no one articulates them to you. These norms form an aesthetic.

Congress: Hijab in exams? Why not! Leading by example or just chasing votes? Oh, and remember the days when hijab was rarely worn? Thanks to 'progress', it's making a comeback! 🙄 #DressCodeDynamics #RetroProgress #PoliticalTrends

one of the funny things about this type of dress code is that barring ppl wearing sneakers was par for the course, but now that middle-class ppl wear "dress sneakers" they can't do that. which shows how these codes are more about enforcing class norms than upholding aesthetics

"Am I supposed to wear dress shoes to the office? Dress sneakers? Regular sneakers? Are my khakis too slim or baggy? Will ppl make fun of this shirt?" It's not true you can wear whatever you want. We've just swapped out hard-written dress codes for softly coded dress norms

Meh. My take is that you should dress to show respect if that's something you want to communicate, but you should not judge others if they don't do the same. Respectability in dress is a third rail & unique from other style judgments bc it touches on who's "deserving" in society

So now what you end up getting is a new type of dress code—a dress shirt, some chinos, and sometimes a vest. It confers none of the flattering effects of tailoring and none of the creative expression possible through good casualwear.

This dress code - from a Physics conference - is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen: No trousers for women!! No patterned shirts (that's me gone!) Dark leather shoes (nope) Neutral colours (nope) Clothes pressed (nope, I'm a single dad) No tattoos/piercings Long hair tied.
