Mini-Skirts Banned From The Office

I work in a warehouse office where one co-worker dresses like a hooker most of the time. She wears skin tight tank tops and daisy dukes everyday. Her excuse is that it's 100 degrees outside. Most of the guys certainly appreciate her wardrobe, although a few have complained. However, I get tired of all the skin. BTW, we have A/C in our offices.

For most work places I agree minis should not be worn, some women work in bars and restaurants that require them to wear skimpy outfits. You should wear the appropriate outfit for the situation.

I agree, as a Human Resource professional, I do not think that mini skirts are the appropriate attire for the workplace.

who wears mini skirts to work? women should wear decent clothes to work. they can sure wear skirts as long as they are not provacative. short skirts provoke lots of controversy!

sometimes they abuse the policy and wear skirts way too short for their own good. i agree that it must be at a REASONABLE length is all. you are at a work place, what happens if a woman drops something and goes to pick it up, yeah, that mini skirt will ride right up...this should have been addressed a long time ago...

humm i don't think women should wear skirts that are to short or to sexy for the work play, i mean it is a place of bissness, people are there to wore and ever one should be dresses for work. but seem like sometimes womens bodys ( vary atrative or vary unattrative ones inparticalarly) are sometimes seen as public propordy and its every ones right to pass judgment on it and its not,

I think there is a time and place to wear certain clothes, and as adults we should know that by now. For example you wear a bathing suit at the beach or pool. (Not to Work) So there for you should know not to wear a short mini shirt to work.. Work place should be professional and on friday's some company let you dress down which I enjoy considing I had to dress everyday for work..

I agree with this ban completely. It is bad enough to have to see women on the street making an "object" out of themselves, but the point is that a job is just that..... A Job. When an individual is not dressed appropriately it causes unneccessary attention that distracts from the task at hand. Also, rumors are started and all sorts of nasty things come of it. I do not believe I have ever seen something like this have positive benefits.

I think that, though people should be somewhat reasonable about what they wear to work, this ban is going a little overboard. They should make sure that no one is dressed too inappropriatly, but still give their employees a little freedom and creativity when it comes to their clothes. We all express ourselves through our clothing, so to put such tight restrictions on people's clothes is a little unfair.

I believe that people in the professions mentioned should dress more conservatively. If you are representing a child or a family you want to put your best foot forward and if someone is focusing on your mini skirt how can the family be the main issue?

I cannot disagree with it at all. We all need to work in environments that are professional on all levels. Attracting attention can also cause problems and friction among coworkers that is unneccessarily detrimental to the the efficency of work production.

Unfortunately, there are a group of people who do not know the appropriate dress for their particular workplace. I have seen office people who are in the public eye come to work wrinkled from head to toe or in clothes that need to be laundered, extremely tight short skirts, flip flops, tube tops, shirts with key holes at inappropriate places, and extremely low cut pants. There is an image a business would like to project and the image these workers are sending is not professional. Unfortunately as well, sometimes management doesn't want to say something because it will hurt the employee's feelings even though it is in the employee manual. Just as you would be sent home for something else in the employee manual, you should be sent home to change or rethink what's appropriate to wear to work.

Cannot really blame any one for pulling the plug on this. Mini-skirts are indeed too short. They are not very professional. The only thing that they are good for is unwanted attention from others whether it is sexual or intended to hurt one's feelings. The work force anywhere should be professional, unless....you work in a strip bar. I do think if one is not in proper dress attire for work, then he/she should be sent home to either change or take a decision day.
