She's supposed to be a professional journalist. You've got to dress the part.

Other women have worked hard to be taken seriously at the same job.

where is the professional journalist dress code set forth? cause there are plenty of dudes who don't meet it either -- nm - bugsy Sep 14, 15:50 15
- what's the guy equivalent of barely-there tops and skintight pants? - b. Sep 14, 15:54
- She has to wear suspenders and a fedora with a piece of paper sticking out of it that says PRESS -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 15:52
- Mostly it's to look "professional" - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:52 12
  - that has absolutely no meaning. professional can mean a million different things from profession to profession -- nm - bugsy Sep 14, 15:53 9
    - if she's the stripper at my bachelor party I'd be very happy to see her walking through the door wearing that -- nm - dogbert Sep 14, 15:59 1
      - And if she was a stripper that would probably be professional wear. -- nm - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 16:01
    - Yup, and when you're a professional attention-getter, anything goes. -- nm - mara Sep 14, 15:57
    - Actually, for office jobs there is a basic standard. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:57 5
      - i guarantee you what is "office professional' on the west coast is 180 degrees from the same thing on the east coast - bugsy Sep 14, 15:58 4
        
        I don't think it's necessarily coastal as much as by field or even company or division. - b. Sep 14, 16:04
        
        at my office, jeans and a t-shirt aren't uncommon. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 16:01 1
        
        (We do have rules, though: No crocs, no peeing in the shower, no swim trunks, no going barefoot) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 16:01
        
        There is still a basic level that's expected. After that it changes from office to office. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 16:00
  - I think the dude equivalent would be dressing like a slob. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 15:53 1
    - Guys tend to get more leeway than women in this. - the liioulu with silver Sep 14, 15:57
