No, you work in a place where everyone is smart.
Sounds familiar... women really do kick up a fuss with dress code. At the old job women went batshit crazy because they were told they had to wear tights when they wore skirts, and that they weren't allowed coloured shoes, and certainly not allowed high boots with short skirts. At the same time men were pulled aside for wearing shoes without laces and told they needed laceup shoes with their suits...

Overall, it worked out that it was far stricter than my school uniform ever was (I did come from a sink school however, so turning up and not setting fire to stuff was applauded). However, turning up in a shirt and trousers with a blazer type thing seemed to suit me fine: lazy and easy, especially with no-iron blouses and trousers.
