Default Do Clothes Make the Man/Women?



A September 10, 2015 decision handed down by the Florida Supreme Court ruled that robes worn by judges should be solid black and unadorned. The Court's reasoned that the courtroom wasn't an appropriate setting to make a fashion statement, fearing that less austere attire could cause litigants to doubt a judge's seriousness. Surprise! Surprise!

Do you believe the same rationale applies to nurses who shed their white and pristine uniforms? What about Catholic nuns who shed their white and black habits?

In the corporate world men once competed for the opportunity for a white collar job and then.... Silicon Valley offered causal dress as a perk and it spread like wildfire through all industries. I was a hold out. I believed in the motto "dress for success. "I liked wearing a suit and tie. And when causal dress gained acceptance it wasn't enough and managers now found themselves playing fashion police.

So what is your view is their a correlation between dress and performance?
