In most of the western world if a man wants to visit the office he has to hide his knees whereas it is accepted for women to wear clothing suitable for hot temperatures.
- ghaff 4y agoFor better or worse, in most western business settings--tech only loosely qualifies--men historically had a uniform (and now have maybe a few potential uniforms--but they had lots of tie options, I have a closet full of them). Women have/had a lot more options which I assume is both a blessing and a curse.

- dfc 4y agoI wear shirt sleeve button up oxfords to work all the time. I have never heard anyone say anything about them.
- atyppo 4y agoI'm just guessing by the demographics of this site that you work in tech. I don't, unfortunately.
- daniel-cussen 4y agoYeah so they found if the boss wears short sleeves (reliably experiment John T Molloy, in Dress for Success which is like the biblical source on such matters, true social scientist) his employees slack off. He didn't investigate the causes, but it's a very marked difference. Now, shorts are allowed even in funerals in the Caribbean, there's this special suit with jacket n shorts, long socks, because the heat is unbearable even the political monarchs wear that suit, like that suit is checkmate.
