Professional Dress

I received an email today from our class rep detailing what our proper attire should be. Apparently there have been a number of people streaking across campus, as this is the 3rd email we've received on "what not to wear." Here's how the email goes:

I have been asked to clarify and give examples of what inappropriate dress is... (Who needed appropriate dress clarified?! Didn't we learn this where we were 5?)

1.) Skin showing between your shirt and your pants. (Don't dress like Britney Spears, gotchya.)


2.) No "cracks" or thongs showing from the back of your pants. (But but butt two of the clinicians here are guilty of that?)


3.) No showing of boxers or underwear. (Whoever is walking around without pants sure keeps a low profile!?)


4.) No bras showing (We need to stop coming to class topless? Darn.)

5.) No wearing bathing suits under see through clothing. (LOL, we can swim after school on the campus beach. We are on an island. I wonder if we can just wear the see through clothing without the bathing suit? She was not specific about that, so it must be okay.)


6.) No wearing shorts that are so short that they look like you are wearing underwear. (Again, don't dress like Britney Spears, gotchya.)

So to wrap it up... we are supposed to be dressing professional. If you go in to an exam room with a client guys...are going to wear jeans that are falling off you showing your boxers and a shirt with holes in it? Ladies are going to wear no bra and a shirt that shows your midrift?

So... I take it we're liberal enough here to throw our bras to the wind, but everything else must be covered. Do they really have to tell us this?
