If you do 't understand what I mean, I can't do or don't care to help you understand it. I'm not much into forum pedantry.
It's not "pedantry". I'm honestly curious what bothers you exactly in the way people dress and why.
It was you and your female cohort who made your admissions:
Wearing jeans and trainers when going shopping or to the park is "revolting" to you?? :D 🤦
This is such a problem that even HR departments try to address it
Maybe in the US. I haven't noticed such a problem where I live. Where do you live, Poloniusz?
Have you ever worked in a 21st century office environment which tried to formally publish and enforce a dress code? No, clearly you haven't.
I worked in a 21st century corpo and the dress code depended on what kind of job you were doing. The management was wearing typical office attire and IT people - pretty ordinary, casual clothes - nothing inappropriate or revealing though. My female boss had short hair and wore bland office attire, no make up and no jewelry even.
