Dressing for success is still important

Published



Dear Mr. Walberg: We are living in a dress-casual environment that seems to be out of control. At my job, co-workers think dress-casual is cotton khakis and golf shirts (with logos). Even my employer hasn’t a clue on presenting a businesslike image. Now, my daughter, a freshman in college, complains that all the girls wear to classes are workout shorts and flip-flops or sneakers, and in cold weather they add tights under the shorts. She thinks it’s a sorority dress code, but hates it! What is your take on dress-casual in the workplace, or “dress-sloppy” as my daughter calls it at school?
