What is proper work attire?

[wazup]

The occupation I'm in doesn't have me working around women, anyhoo I was in a ff restaurant today and a Manger in her early 20's had an incredibly tight pair of slax on showING off a perfect ass. It was impossible not to look at it, would be very distracting to work with.

Is this considered innapropriate attire or is it sexist to even mention it. Can men dress over the top too, as in tight pants. Does anyone have coworkers that are dressed distractingly? Is it OK in some venues and not others, restaurants, discos, bar restos, clothing stores etc., as opposed to more family friendly conservative places?

I will not say where even though pm.

Short answer..... depends on the type of work.

 

[rhuarc29]

If part of your job is to look good, then alluring clothing is appropriate. If not, then it's not.

As a general example, if you're front facing for the company or brand and/or dealing with customers, it's often important to look good to better represent your brand.
If you work behind the scenes, it's more appropriate to wear clothes suited to your task.

You could get fired for mentioning it. Just like women can talk about dicks and cunts all day to you if they want, but the minute you say something she doesn't like, you're fired for cause. Because it's 2017. An even more current year.

If she was at my workplace, productive time will suffer and many trips to the washroom would occur.

There was a case recently about restaurants like Joey's and Earl's telling their young female wait staff to dress provocatively.

A group of the female staff took them to the human rights commission arguing that it was wrong for the restaurants to tell them to dress provocatively. And I agree. I don't think restaurants should have the right to tell young women to dress in such a way as to be very revealing frankly. It's wrong. If she wants to dress like that, then fine, knock yourself out (larger tips and come ons from guys she might want to pick and choose from, who knows) But Mgt. telling them to wear dresses too small with plunging neck lines? That crosses the line.

IMHO.

What if they tell them to tone it down, what are the consequences for the business?

A woman can "look good" without having to dress like she's at a bar in her slinkiest of slinkiests.

I don't think management has the right to demand that.

Now that said, often times restaurants do "hire beautiful" without regard to ability. Who among us hasn't been to a restaurant to be greeted by a very beautiful young woman in a revealing dress only to watch her struggle to the point of frustration (on my part) trying to figure out that I have a reservation and where to sit my ugly ass. Want even more fun? Walk into to said restaurant and watch her completely shut down when you DON'T have a reservation and ask for a table and even though virtually every seat in the place is empty, she won't be able to figure it out. It's like giving the girl at Tim Hortons the 24 cents on your $7.24 order after you've handed her the $20 bill and he's punched in $20.00 amount tendered.

Agreed - though I don't think it would be all that flattering on me!

I've witnessed it. I could care less myself, I know enough to stay out of the line of fire. However I do think double standards are wrong, even if some men think the manly thing to do is to automatically side with the woman in a dispute.

And this one what I call totally appropriate.

Unfortunately, without a dress code for their employees, this is a tough question to answer, so you assume a more ethical code of conduct then.

As you state, she was wearing tight fitting slacks, not yoga pants, so she is dressed semi-professionally. The tightness of the fitting can't be questioned, as there is no dress code, but as a stylish young woman, she is wearing appropriate attire for her. How we view it does not count. As long as they weren't low-riding slacks, showing more of her pubis, low down on her vag or showing her T-bar, there is nothing wrong with the fit as far as I see.

So you are saying that Hooters should be closed down.

I see plenty of this in the investment industry. They usually bring along a couple of women like this to the client sales meetings

..Can men dress over the top too, as in tight pants. ..

I don't think men can ever dress over the top like women can. With women, takes more than just tight pants (not as stylish as it was back in 70s-80s with men) to distract them. With men we can easily become distracted by a receptionist smile reminiscing of our last MPA's session.

And virtually any male-dominated sales-related field (real estate, development, etc...)

Hooters Canada gets around this by offering the waitresses several variations on their outfits. The US-style hot pants aren't mandatory; there are high-waisted longer shorts available.

Still a decent place for wings. Gets expensive fast if you order beer.
