Meh. A lot of offices require "business casual", but that is getting relaxed all over too due to the break from workwear during the pandemic. It is common sense at this point. I am glad I haven't had to stress over corporate dress code for a few years now. I felt like I was in highschool agonizing if someone would freak out over a sleeveless shirt or if stretchy black jeans would get called out.
As for uniforms proper, I have seen a tiny bit in the trades, mechanics, etc with jumpsuits or shirts. I just think of it as provided safety gear and clothes that can get dirty without destroying your own.
After working in an industry for over a decade where I had to wear safety vests, shoes, and hardhats, I got over how I looked. The number of idiots that would complain about having to wear a bright safety vest because they didn't look fashionable was ridiculous, and that included me right at first. I at least never refused to do something I was being paid and expected to do because I would get my precious work clothes and bright pink safety "vest" dirty.
ADHD rambling aside, but as long as the clothes are not uncomfortable, sexist, and restrictions are loosened during extreme weather, I will wear whatever within reason. My hair though? Fuck you it is my body and I will do what I want with it, barring having to pull it back at a job site for safety reasons.
The pandemic has permanently changed my perception of dress codes. All of us worked perfectly fine in hoodies and shorts. Because of not needing to dedicate time in the morning to my appearance, I can sleep in a bit and be better rested too. I'm happier and more effective.
So naturally the old executive guard disagrees at large corporations, but we'll see if that lasts.
