Nonsense ideology that dates back to medieval times. I subscribed to it for years until I realized it had no bearing on my work. I tell my interns and staff “dress appropriately,” meaning be comfortable - unless we’re meeting with clients, whose expectations may not align.
Comment on Really shows where their priorities are, doesn't it?

When are we going to move past costuming for work?

Dress codes serve as class signifiers. Like most rules of decorum, they’re cultural artifacts used to delineate the haves from the have-nots. They don’t dislike the fact that Fetterman refuses to wear a suit. They dislike the fact that he dresses like the people the common people he actually represents. Whereas they dress like the people they represent - capitalist oligarchs. They’re wanting to close ranks and keep people from realizing that not everyone in the senate serves the same masters.

Isn’t the logic that it’s an easy thing to use as a sign of conformance? A check to see if you’re willing to compromise your personal choices for the groups mandate?

People with their little collars and jackets and ties to make them feel important

Probably never. People will always judge others based on how they are dressed. We subconsciously attach a certain image of what people should look like. And these dress codes are often enforced by society indirectly. 99% of people would not want to have a lawyer dressed casually to court and will pick someone else even if the alternative is by all accounts not as good as the casually dressed lawyer.

Thats right. I judge them by how they are dressed. Fetterman is a working class american, and the others are my enemy.

I’d be happy to have a lawyer in casual attire if it wouldn’t bias the judge and jury against me.

My knee jerk reaction to seeing anyone in a suit is “Asshole”.

I feel like there some that do and most that don’t but the some that do are such cunts they try to force the most of us to do what they want
STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For most people it’s subconscious. Society presents the image of a lawyer that constantly wears a suit. Most lawyers do wear a suit. So when they see a lawyer without a suit it puts them off because it clashes with the image of what a lawyer is suppose to be. But like I said it’s subconscious no one just thinks to themselves “all lawyers should wear suits or else they are untrustworthy”.

Time to dress up like it’s 1799.

I never got what the tie (leash) is for. Probably a reminder of a dog leash, to remind themself that they are dogs.

The only costume I wanna wear for work is a mascot costume for a sports team that named themselves after an animal.

I still think instead of changing their name, the Red Skins should have changed their mascot to a potato.
