Like many here have said, it's best to do as you are told on company time, as they are the ones paying you... wear what you will on your own time.

Not to take this off topic too much, but in the same vain. There are many on the board who wear the kilt for non family related reasons, and feel that they should feel free to wear what they like, when and where they like; work or not. Now not to single out anyone here, and this is just an honest question, nothing more... but to the Americans here.. how whould you feel if a co-worker with no family or religious conection started to wear Saudi types of dress to work, how do you feel your co-workers would feel? Do you think an answer of "I like the freedom of it" would stop the boss from sending them home to change.. do you think your co-workers would not think them strange?

If the Mods think my last bit is too much, feel free to remove it. But I was just trying to put this in a different light so that people can see the other (boss, co-workers) side of this.

I've got to agree. Everybody's vision falls short of 20/20; we are all tainted by our life experiences and see things as we want to.

If one can strip the personal prejudice out, quite often they will slap you with 'Health and Safety' from which there is no appeal.
