Nothing that keeps eyes on the dressing or lack of it for more than 10 seconds per look or cries for more than 10 looks per lesson.
Nothing that is visually shocking.
Anything else should be fine.
Except cross-dressing and nothing.

I taught several thousand college students in the last 10 years. I don't think there was ever a problem. Sometimes some of the women wear some scanty tops. Usually they get enough of a message of dispproval from their classmates (ya,the guys like it at first, but they know it's distracting, and the other women hate it) that they quit doing it pretty soon. We have a dres code for one event a year - Career Day - 250 companies show up in the gym for recruiting. The Dean stands at the door, if you aren't in "business attire" you don't get in.

Frankly, by the time young people--or even old people--get to college, they are responsible for their own education. No more secondary level spoon-feeding: they show up to class, or they forfeit on their academic purchase. They study, or they shoot themselves in the foot and get kicked out. They like or go along with school policies, or they go elsewhere.
At the secondary and primary levels, it is at least partially the responsibility of the school to maintain an environment conducive to learning, thus greater regulations. Public schools are obligated to do the best they can for the public. Higher education would be *wise* to do the best they can, but they must do whatever is conducive to funding, really, whatever will attract and retain more tuition checks--I mean...students.
College students should be past making excuses for their own lack of concentration, and while they should also be learning how to present themselves, it is silly to force them to do so, as college is that last stop before being stuffed into suits and the daily grind.

I have no problem with dress codes, unless they are too relaxed. If standard street clothes are causing issues then a uniform may be needed. College or any school for that matter is not a fashion show nor party like many claim it to be. Education should be the main focus, NOT the color coordination of the guy sitting next to you. : )

well, the problem is in the mind of the looker - the person is going to look at you no matter what you wear...

I'm not sure if there should be any. If there had to be some kind of dress code it should not be strict at all. the student is already paying to attend but then again you don't want to sit next to a bum in class.

complete waste of time. standards should be the same as those for free speech. so long as it does not incite fear or hatred it should be allowed. the supreme court has a long line of precedence regarding freedom of speech and expression in dress.
if something offends you don't look at it.
