- Professionalism is about results not expensive clothes
- Dress codes exclude people who can't afford them
- What you wear has nothing to do with competence
- It's just arbitrary power flexing by management
Disagree
- Presentation affects how clients perceive credibility
- Shared standards create team cohesion and identity
- Looking polished shows respect for the workplace
- Some jobs genuinely require specific attire
