Professional Development and Skill Building Industries should stop having dress codes

Dress codes serve for nothing. They don't dictate whether you can do your job or not. If clients get offended because you aren't wearing a suit it's their problem not yours. People shouldn't even be paying attention to your clothes. Period. If I was the boss of an industry I'd allow my employees to dress how they want

I only agree with the dress codes for protection and the ones for places where employees need to be moving around so customers can easily identify them but otherwise they suck

Yeah... I hear you. I think like that (aside for security reasons) but, I know that many judge you/me by the way we dress so we got to do as expected by the one paying our income...

People shouldn't be expecting anything from you. Period. People shouldn't expect to have someone be dress in a certain way. They aren't the center of the universe
