While I don't have a problem with this in principle, so ethnic clothing, or menopause friendly clothing etc. Where are the boundaries?, for example if a naturist wanted to wear nothing at all, due to their lifestyle would that be permissible.
Indeed, tjis also gives staff the flexibility to dress according to their health, as long as people look decent who cares.
My argument is if you are say a web designer, and I need a website, when we meet to discuss you look professional, and you can expect the same from me being the client. What you choose to wear when you make the website is up to you, you could wear a expensive dinnner jacket or nothing at all, who cares as long as the job is done properly, if working from home, dress code becomes even more non important and probably reflects the current conditions so in 35c heat, you wear less.
@zleap Back when I worked in the City, the dress code was a single sentence: "Dress for your day". People were trusted to exercise their own judgment, and they did. Not sure there's any kind of slippery slope or Daily Mail-style "whatever next?" argument here. Generally, if you trust people to be sensible, they are.
