[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but it looks terrible.  On their own time, in social settings, I dgaf what they wear, but I hire teens to work at my business and a lot of the girls show up for work in our company t-shirt and, apparently, nothing on the bottom.  I can't say anything because I don't want to be accused of body shaming, but it's unprofessional and doesn't represent my brand well, and I really really hate this god-awful trend.[/quote]

If they work for your business, you have every right to have them wear long pants or have a dress code. That is not "body shaming." It's really weird that you have not instituted a dress code rule. Every job I had as a teenager or young adult had a dress code for this very reason. Usually it was no shorts or jeans.

With that said, I really don't care what the kids wear to school. When they go to work, they need to wear what the job requires. [/quote]

Would love to do that, but what would I say exactly that wouldn't come across as body shaming and sexist?  We work outside and need to be comfortable, so long pants are out of the question in summer.  So what would our dress code say that wouldn't focus on covering up women's bodies?  [/quote]

Everyone wears a non-graphic crew neck tshirt that has sleeves to just above the elbow and is long enough to cover the waist band of their almost knee length shorts. The skin showing is from the neck up, sleeves down and knees and below. No vnecks, no tank tops, no crop tops. No skirts or dresses. So what you want with your hair and shoes. Dress code applies to everyone.[/quote]
