Dress Code

It's winter -people wear clothes- so this should not even be an issue.  But no we have leggings!    If you are  built like a Kardasian or fat NO LEGGINGS with out a dress or sweater to mid thigh or below please! It is just gross!   While we are at it if your are over 25 you should follow the above even if you have the body for it- MLF is just gross.  If you are in an office you should also follow  number one.   Looking like a high price call girl instead of  a legal assistant will not gain  you respect- maybe a date with the  young male attorney or  start of your sexual harrasment case.

Dress Code

No white after Labor Day  even if you live in Florida put away the shoes, purses, belts and pants

You Look Awful!

A lot has been said about attire in the work place. See below:

Recently a law firm I know decided to enact a dress code.   While I may not agree  with  certain provisions of the code such as the foot attire, it comes down to you do what the boss says and shut up.   I personally would like to add a few items, and remove a few  from the code!  I don't see how thong sandles and tennis shoes are a no no but you can have a receptionist full of visible tats and facial piercings.   Hello!  What looks more trashy!
 
Now having had my own law firm for a  number of years and worked for various organizations this is my basic dress code for you:
 
No visible tatoos!
No pierced faces!
Long hair- tie it back!
No boobs, No butt, No belly!  COVER IT!
No skirts shorter then 2 inches above your knee (see above)!
Wear a bra!
Wear underwear!
No shorts!
Be clean and neat and groomed.
When in doubt, err on the side of conservative.
