If you're up for a fight you could ask them why there is a different dress code for men and women, and how they think that stands legally.

Apparently this sort of thing is legal. I queried the tie policy with my employer.

Apparently this sort of thing is legal. I queried the tie policy with my employer.

Schmidt v Austicks Bookshops (1978) established that it is legal to have different dress codes for men and women provided they are equally restrictive. As I understand it, that means that if women can wear clothing that shows their lower leg, such as shorts or dresses, then so can men.

Probably the same clan as Alan Brazil!

wear a skirt like the train drivers in Sweden.

That was brilliant and got them lots of publicity! How many people in the Western world haven't heard of this one?

I like the look of the Uni-Kilt just wish I had the figure to carry it off.

There is talk of us in the office wearing a polo shirt with the company name on, my boss is horrified, if you can't buy it in next she won't wear it. The jury is out on this one, can't see it happening.

I had to wear a tie for many a year as my boss deemed a chap undressed without one. I bought round neck sweaters and wore my tie with the top button of my shirt undone and the ruddy tie pulled down, so you couldn't see it. After a year with nobody asking me where my tie was I left it off. Ten years later in that place nobody had noticed I wasn't wearing a tie. As my room was the coldest in the place, like Siberia in mid winter on a hot summer's day I had no reason to be seen without a pullover.

Since i left that place sixteen years ago, I've worn a tie for three funerals and a wedding. (Different one for the wedding in case you are worried.)
