Let's talk about unnecessary dress codes. Sure, there are certain jobs where the clothing you wear is important. Healthcare workers and firefighters are a couple of professions that come to mind.

For instance, do all finance bros need to wear a jacket and tie for their jobs? Absolutely not. It should always be about the work before the presentation. If you feel like you genuinely want to wear a jacket and tie to work, go for it! That being said, in reality, the work should speak for itself and the uniform shouldn't speak for the work.
