what is dress codes really good for.?

Answer 1

Cuts down on the "distractions" in the classroom or working environment -- helps to develop a feeling of 'professionalism' in the work place -- helps to ensure that members of each sex are treated with dignity and respect -- establishes a sense of pride/camaraderie in the organization -- to meet health and safety standards ...

All these are reasons why dress codes may be established.

Answer 2

Dress Code-a set of rules specifying the correct manner of dress while on the premises of the institution (or specifying what manner of dress is prohibited).

There are many pros and cons about dress codes. Some clothes really gross me out. Like the really really really low cut shirts and dresses. Here are a few comments about dress codes from actual people of schools:
Goth-Hello, My name is Andrea Nelson. I'm a freshman and I am considered a goth. I have black hair and a pierced nose. I wear eyeliner dark, and I wear all black clothing. Our school is trying to prevent all of that. I have had absolutely no disciplinary problems at school. I'm a pretty good student. So what's the big deal? I like the way I dress because I feel confortable and feel myself. I do not dress obscene so I don't see the big deal. People are saying that I am a distraction., but I don't see how! They are the ones making a big deal out of this.
Disiplined girl- I think wearing a uniform for school is extremely important and the more it is uncomfortable and severe, the better it is for the schoolgirl wearing it I wore very strict uniform during all my school years , from age 5 to 18, in countries like Belgium, England, Israel etc. I always wore a buttoned up stiff and tight starched collar, a tightly knotted tie, pleated skirts and blazers.

I think that to make a young girl wear something that is highly uncomfortable, that has to be worn in a very uncomfortable way for a very long period of time, will actually discipline her and make her self discipline greater. I imagine knowing you hate to wear that terribly tight stiff collar and still wear it as tightly as possible in the morning . knowing that your school tie will be tight around your neck all day long and still wear it as tightly as possible - this is pure self discipline.

So you see? The second girl wears a school uniform, dress codes like that are very strict, but the dress codes that just forbid really short skirts and shorts are ok for me. Dress codes are good because they keep the school in order and dress codes keep the performance up in school.

Some work places require a dress code,especially if you deal with the public.
Schools on the other-hand have a dress code.Our local school has a strict dress code.
We have some financially disadvantaged students,and it creates a hostile environment when they get ridiculed because they cannot afford name brand clothing.The school district does not allow logos that are visible.
I read an article where NIKE shoes stated that it costs them less than $25.00 to make their shoes and they turn around and sell them for over $100.00 a pair.Who's the sucker here ? ?

Answer 4

it puts everyone on an even playing field....

example: no one can tease you for wearing a dumb looking pair of pants, and no one can lord over everyone else because they have a designer pair of pants... also no gang colors can be worn if the colors are strictly the school colors... etc...


in a work place it usually has to do with dealing with the public. Many people will be turned off by staff who dress sloppily or wear clothing with potentially offensive images or words. This type of dress can also have a serious negative impact on employee performance as well. If a coworker proves to be a distraction, the other employees will have a hard time concentrating on their work.

Answer 5

Sometimes dress codes signify the solemness or frivolity of the occasion. As an example,sometimes I tell people when they have to don't have to dress up,so that no one causes a fuss by showing up for a barbecue in a tux or gown. I feel that whoever is in charge of the event or tourist attraction(Yes,some of them have dress codes)gets to make the rules.If you don't like it,get promoted as someone in charge and make up your own.
