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?

I feel that if a person wants to be successful in his or her field that he or she should dress with the same degree of formality or informality as the people in charge. Be clean and try to fit in, rather than "stand out" with over the top or extreme attire. I don't think anyone should do anything to change their body permanently. In other words tattoos are "in" now but so were Afro's once.
One disclaimer;
If you read about an elderly village woman being arrested for pulling down a young man's drawers when he was wearing them at "half mast', it might be me.
