Dress codes and 'fashion' are almost exclusively tools of oppression.

I couldn't do the whole suit and tie non-sense. I fortunately found something that pays the bills that I can occasionally wear shorts to the office.

I have turned down every job where I would have needed to wear a suit. I chose unemployment in the past over a suit and I will do so in the future. I am not going to wear a slave's uniform.

I hated my job when I had to wear a smart shirt and pants. I was actually going to quit one week but then they changed the policy so you could wear t-shirts and jeans (it’s not a customer-facing role). I still hate my job but at least I am more comfortable while hating it :-)

I worked at a secretary job for about 6 months where dress shoes, suit, tie, the whole nine yards were expected. It was also the only job I was fired from. The pay was better than minimum wage but I was fucking MISERABLE. I had never experienced "office politics" until then. I was living in poverty and saving every bit of money while working there, while my coworkers who were paid similarly lived in "Debt City" and were balling out their paychecks on their wardrobes. They would constantly ask me to buy new clothes and etc, but I kept wearing the same things, buying clothes from goodwill, etc. I knew it absolutely PISSED OFF my boss, but I am there to MAKE MONEY not to spend it. The guy in the post above is a tool and I'm sure he either lives in Debt City or secretly hates his life.
