Dress for Chauvinism
The Bank of England are teaching their female staff how to walk the thin line between dressing for success and not looking like a sex worker. A recent memo, posted on Jezebel tells female employees, “always wear a heel of some sort — maximum 2 inches; always wear some sort of makeup — even if it’s just lipstick.”
On the other end of the scale it warns against pitfalls including double pierced ears, white heels and ankle chains which are “professional, but not the one you want to be associated with,”
I’d like to know if there are any rules for male staff at the Bank of England. I’d rather switch gender than follow these guidelines.
