The workplace can consist of a diversity of people, and a diversity of workplace fashion. Let me tell you about the diverse workplace fashion I observe at my place of employment, South Padre Island City Hall. Being the front desk receptionist, I see most of my coworkers throughout the day and have categorized the fashion at my workplace as follows: The Business Professional, HR Inappropriate, Casual Islander, The Flamboyant Fashionistas, and Office Uniform. In an organization that consists of at least 10 different departments and one hundred and fifty plus employees, personality is displayed through a variety of workplace fashion. The Business Professional. Slacks, suits, and formal dresses or skirts should be worn when there are important meetings being held at City Hall. While City Council meeting days are designated days that business professional attire must be worn by all, there are employees who wear business professional attire throughout the entire week. Our City Manager is fairly new and came from the City of Tyler. Her preferred workplace fashion is business professional with black being the color she wears the most. Within the first few months for working for the city, the City Council advised her that she should try incorporating more color into her wardrobe since the city is an Island as well. She has taken the councils advise and has incorporated a little more color into her wardrobe, but still, black is her go to color. The City Manager’s office and much of

Christy Chandra Professor Tom Goldstein Media Studies 103/ Journalism 141 5 March 2015 Bias: E! Network “Fashion Police” Fashion Police is a show on E! Network. Hosted by fashion experts who are celebrities themselves, they gather on every episode to put comments on dresses imposed by stars on the red carpet in Hollywood.
There is strong controversy regarding whether casual wear should be allowed in the workplace. The disagreement between the two articles read, “Dressing for Creativity” and “The Myth of Casual Friday,” questions if attire can affect one's productivity or if it is a form to inspire one's confidence and talent. Although both articles have different points of views, I believe that one’s attitude towards work goes far beyond attire and more into one’s own personal moral code and values.
Students in high schools that do not follow the fashion trends are generally looked down upon for not fitting in with the majority. In a study from the NPD Group, which does fashion industry analysis shows that Kids who are “fashion outcasts” are 60% more likely to be bullied in high school. In the adult world, wearing expensive and nicely fitted clothing to work makes you look sharper, which changes the impression that other colleagues have over you. In another study by the NPD group, adults who work in Ralph Lauren dress shirts are 3 times out of 10 more likely to gain a raise within the first month of working than those who work in generic brand dress shirts with the same education as those who wore Ralph Lauren dress shirts. These two studies show that the way you present your fashion has an impact on how people accept who you
Dress codes is a standard of clothing for school, office, club, or restaurant. Schools have dress codes to promote professionalism and a distraction-free learning environment. More standards of dressings are set in place for girls than males. This causes an unequal amount of bias towards women and sexism to occur in the dress code.
When we are completing our day by day obligations at work we once in a while consider our demeanors, we are drenched in work itself and frequently stay uninformed of exactly how diverse our states of mind could be to others around us.
School dress codes have become a very large issue,though it always has been, but now that students have been protesting against their school's dress code there have been many more problems that are surfacing between the school district and the students. School dress codes are taking away the purpose of school, students come to learn, and to be educated, but instead are forced to change their clothing because it doesn’t fit the school dress code. The dress code solely takes away students creativity and their right to explore with clothing. The administration also tells students to “not care what others think” then take students out of class and tell them that the length of their shorts is making a
Glamour in the Age of Kardashian has an overall theme of how “glamour labor” has evolved in recent years due to changes in technology, work ethic, and fashion. “Glamour labor”, a term thought up by Wissinger, is the work an individual does, so that they are perceived as the carefully crafted image that they create and place online. It is the effort and time of shaping one’s body in order to look as put-together as they do online in their day-to-day life. “Glamour laborers” are the individuals who are practiccing glamour labor daily. Typically, glamour laborers are celebrities, because they have the means to put in the work; however, anyone can be considered a glamour laborer. Glamour laborers are those individuals who are constantly going
Since I was young I've wanted to work at NASA, and based on research I've noticed that there is a sort of unspoken intellectualism and professionalism that goes into working at NASA, and of course both this professionalism and intellectualism influences employees and their actions. People of course are given the freedom to do as they please at NASA, however they are told to do things according to their projects and their management. This rule resonates along with Google's rule, however due to the aforementioned intellectualism in professionalism at NASA employees dress differently and do things differently. For example, very little of the employees at NASA wear loose-fitting clothing and often work along scheduled regiments, despite the similar premises, NASA's and Google's employees view their workspaces
The dress code at Anaheim High School should be eliminated for all students. The school should be more focused on a student education than on what they wear. students have been told to change for wearing jeans that have holes in them and have missed lectures only because the teacher made that student go change because they have to uphold the decision of the school. In the District Website of Anaheim High School it informs the community about what their children can or can not wear according to the policy. It tells every person that they can not wear shorts showing girls buttocks or shoulder less tops as to not provoke anybody. Why do cheerleaders get that privilege to wear short skirts were they show there buttocks but for a non cheerleader
What can I wear to work? Some employers have a strict dress code, while others are very laid back. According to the type of business, the organization does could dictate the type of attire and grooming that is expected from the organization. Does the employer have a right to tell you what you can and cannot wear to work or even how to be groomed? In my opinion and through my experiences in life I would say yes they do, they have a business to run, and customers require certain expectations and those expectations are handed down to the employees. Employee rights must be taking into consideration in the process, along with other reasons for the policies implemented such as setting guidelines for dress and grooming that could be
The Victorian Era is a remarkable time in history with the blooming industries, growing population, and a major turnaround in the fashion world. This era was named after Queen Victoria who ruled United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from June 1837 until she passed away 64 years later in January 1901.When Victoria received the crown, popular respect was strikingly low. The lack of respect for the position she had just come into did not diminish her confidence. Instead she won the hearts of Britain with her modesty, grace, straightforwardness, and her want to be informed on the political matters at hand even though she had no input. She changed Britain into a flourishing country. She also impacted how women interacted
When working in the health care setting, I believe that it is the responsibility of everyone to dress in a manner that conveys confidence and professionalism to the patients. Today, when it comes to appropriate attire and policies on dress and appearance, organizations now must consider body modifications (piercings and tattoos), jewelry with religious symbols, and styles of cultural dress. As a nurse in my hospital, we wear seal blue scrubs that differentiate us from the other employees. In my profession, it is important to come to work with a clean, neat, and unwrinkled scrubs or uniforms. We only use white or black color type of shoes. We can only wear white shirt or long sleeves underneath our scrubs. Our lab coat should be white, clean,
Children and Teenagers express themselves by what they wear. That is one of the biggest arguments schools have and the overall biggest problems is dress code. Teenagers and children like to feel free and wear things that make them unique. Dress codes does not really affect the way students learn. I think that children should be able to wear what they want to school and not get sent home for it being to provocative or inappropriate.
As stated before, psychology is a form of self-expression, and a form of visual communication. The way one dresses may put one in a fashion subcategory. These subcategories are thought of as a whole and are subject to judgment and discrimination of sorts. For example, a person with many tattoos and a vintage style of clothing may be viewed as a “hipster”, and hence the viewer may assume many things of the individual. The fit of garments say many things about oneself. Made-to-fit clothing on men in the business world is more respectable than non-tailored clothes. With women, skirt suits create the balance between attractiveness and masculinity in order to appear respectable, much more than the overly aggressive pant suit. One may see the effect of clothing when one researches on how to dress for an interview in order to make an impression upon the hiring manager.
