At my office, which is business professional, it seems that men have less options for "lighter" clothing than women though. I have to wear a long sleeve, pressed shirt and tie, pants, and dress shoes no matter what the temperature is (although the coat is optional). Women can get away with short skirts and dresses that are much cooler.

- discreteevent 11y agoThe article states: " “If it is too warm, the behavior thing you can do is take off a piece of clothing, but you can only do that so much. You could also say let’s keep it a very cold building and women should just wear more clothes.” But his study offers another solution: Change the formula." But then it completely fails to mention how that solves the problem of men not being able to strip naked in an office.
