To those who are concerned about being allowed to wear a kilt to work...

'Nuff said.

Ha! The only catergory that I even relate to is the blue jeans part.
Remember that these girls wear a Toga for their work uniform.

You say that like it's a bad thing... They're just celebrating their Italian heritage...

Actually, this is not the casino itself... Looks like it's a fashion boutique IN the casino. Which really boggles me -- if this is supposed to be some kind of high-class fashion shop, to have your staff wear DENIM?

I would guess that you have never been to Vegas!

I guess from the dress code we know how willing this company is to hire male employees. The dress code for everyone is right at the top and it specifically states that you must wear make-up, get manicures and pedicures, and wear nail polish.

No kilts in our office either. The men's dress code, while lenient, has always been clearly defined: khaki pants with either polo or button-up shirts.

Recently, our director announced that women are officially allowed to wear capri pants at work. The previous director had declared them unsuitable for the office. A lot of ladies were very excited about the change.

During the announcement, they sarcastically added that men, however, could not wear capris. A few lame jokes were exchanged. Suddenly, the assistant director chimed in with, "And no kilts either, guys!"

I don't think anyone knows I wear kilts when not at work. I'm not sure what provoked that comment, but it irked me. They probably thought the idea was so ludicrous that it would be a funny thing to say. I never would have worn a kilt to work, but that only makes me want to now.

Okay. </rant>

Kind of like throwing down the gauntlet, eh? Did you ask "Why?"

I didn't question it. I suppose I could have. I'm confident the argument would've been that a kilt doesn't maintain our professional appearance. Add to that, our director is fairly conservative. While I think a kilt is, at minimum, as professional-looking as a pair of Dockers, I doubt he would share that point of view.

Or they would maintain the kilt would be a distraction. Or ... pick from a host of excuses.

With my luck, it would have backfired and the dress code would have been made more strict and professional. At least, we're only business casual.

Besides, they just agreed to capris. Clearly, the administration is slow to change. We'll have to take baby steps.
