I think his boss had a point. Wearing a suit in itself is not always enough. I have a few basic set rules for the men in my office - 1. No fashion suits/shirts/ties please. Suits should be conservative in style - preferably dark grey. Shirts should be plain and preferably white and no striped or fashion styles allowed. I advise colars and cuffs to be starched though I know some of the men do not always follw this and I don't chase them about it. 2. Collars must be fastened at the top button at all times with no exception. Ties must be knotted in full windsor style and should be plain and conservative in style - no fashion ties. My only concession with ties is that for the office party or occasional 'celebration' days, novelty, fun ties are acceptable. 3. Hair - hair should be neat and short but I don't want men with shaved heads in our company and the 'skin head' look is definitley a no no! Sideburns are also not allowed and I ask the guys to shave them completely so the hair line is level with the top of the ear. You'd be surprised at how few people rebel from these rules. I general, the men seem to like the guidelines and are always quick to rsepond to their colleagues if one of them is slacking! Interesting comments from the above. I think his boss had a point.
