It should be almost every employer's expectation to ask their employees to maintain a professional appearance for the line of work they are in.

Many don't realize this (unfortunately), but professional appearance is important in every single step of an employee’s working career.

An employee is a representation of the company who employs them and it is the employer’s objective to have their employees project a favorable image (if they are concerned with their "brand").

The manner and general appearance of an employee can greatly influence an employee’s measure of success within a company.

Agreed. I guess telling someone they dress like shite is like telling them they need to lose weight.

What management textbook did you copy/paste that out of?

I find that professional dress is a largely outdated concept for jobs that aren't public facing. Is there really a reason why Joe in accounting has to come to work every day with a shirt and tie other than that's because it's how it has always been done?

I have sent employees home to dress correctly. Never had to do this 20 year ago

Stitch fix
