How come so many women get away with violating the dress code at work?

Question

I don't know about everyone else, but I live in NYC and just about every place of employment (mostly office buildings and dept. Stores), women come in wearing stuff that is either too revealing or too tight/form fitting. You don't have to wear a miniskirt with hooker boots, it could be a normal blouse with "cameltoe" business pants and that's enough for distraction.

I was recently at job orientation and the female trainer who was speaking to the class about how wearing tight fitting attire is inappropriate yet here she is wearing a black blouse tight enough for her boobs to be defined and super tight black business pants that outline her thighs, labia and rear-end. Lol

Dept stores are the craziest, take bloomingdales (which I used to work at) and macys. Its like they dress in professional attire but they dress themselves in a way that the skin is covered but the "goodies" are still noticable and stick out underneath. Walk down the cosmetics/fragrance section in either store and trust me u will not care about what product they're selling. Either the person who hired them was a male or female pervert. "Wanna do sales? You got boobs and butt? You're hired!"

Even a professional blazer and knee level skirt could be manipulated here as long as the skirt is tight enough for the butt to stick out.

This is so ironic considering many women wonder why guys bother them saying disrespectful things when they're the ones showing themselves off and denying it.

Now I'm not saying I have a prob with working at a place where women dress sexy in a "non hooker way" (cuz that's what this is), but I just find it so weird that this goes overlooked where they work at. Why is this?

P.s. Don't mean to offend any women reading this but there is a lot of truth to this and I'm not saying that all women are like this, but a good number are.

Answer 1

I'm on the Left Coast (near San Francisco) but I've noticed the same thing. I think it is foreign style influence, as I saw similar dress code infractions when I lived in Buenos Aires, rgentina 10 years ago, but in the US decorum in the business environment was still the general rule.

As a woman, I wonder what they're thinking. When more than half the women in any environment expose enough to leave nothing to the imagination, it actually makes the ones not exposing everything more attractive by comparison.

Hey, I'm old school- I believe being a lady is leaving something to the imagination - besides I wouldn't want to attract the "wrong" kind of attention - so I play my cards close --- and not only that, but I'd be offended if someone said or did something that was disrepsectful based on the way I look - So, I'm fashionable - but I'm a bit on the conservative side -
