You ever see a sign outside a business that reads "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service"? A bar that bans construction boots and jeans? A fancy-shmancy restaurant downtown where men must wear a dress shirts and ties? A high school that doesn't allow short-shorts, bare midriffs, or muscle shirts? Those are Dress Codes. Anytime a place has rules for what people should wear and shouldn't wear. This can include uniforms, but in that case the code is simply to wear the appropriate uniform. Places that require uniforms include: Boarding School, private school, military bases and police stations. Actual dress codes allow more freedom, especially depending on the situation—and on the creativity of people trying to "bend" the rules. For example, at a posh gala that requires ties, a Cowboy may wear a skinny bolo tie and try to get in (though the Bouncer may view this as Loophole Abuse). At a fancy bar that bans hoodies, a rich Tech Bro CEO may try to claim that his $500 Versace hoodie should be OK. This trope applies just as much in Real Life as in fiction. Three of the most common places for dress codes are schools, workplaces (particularly offices), and fine dining establishments. Schools which enforce dress codes may carve out exceptions, i.e. "spirit wear" or casual wear allowed as a reward, on birthdays, at regular intervals, or in exchange for a small donation to charity note and sometimes a combination of the latter two Students may be Chafing Against the Dress Code, especially in a Boarding School with a strict code. Some entire plots in school-set stories are about hating the official school uniform. Workplaces often have "Casual Fridays" and at a Wacky Startup Workplace, employees wear flip flops, and yoga pants and hoodies every day. There are still limits, of course, although on many shows the characters will take their sartorial freedom to hilarious extremes. Some workers may wear outlandish garb and others may wear Stripperiffic outfits that turn everyone's heads (this plot point may be a way to show skin and add Fanservice). Posh restaurants, wood-paneled clubs, and fine bars where Luxurious Liquor is sold may require men to wear a suit and tie, and women may be required to wear dresses and high heels. These requirements can even end up screening out a Millionaire Playboy on vacation who's wearing shorts and a t-shirt or a wealthy socialite wearing a designer pantsuit and sandals. This can also be in other formal situations like black tie dinners, gala events or Standard Royal Courts. In fiction, three reasons for stating dress codes are: To ensure an elite, highbrow ambiance, such as at a fancy Classical Music opera concert. To delineate status, such as in a Decadent Court full of wealthy Blue Blood nobles, where only top royalty can wear a certain item, hat, or color. To show that a character is going to violate the code, and get in some form of trouble over it. (In which case compare Rules of the Road.) Occasionally a part of Dress-Coded for Your Convenience (when at least one side actually had a dress code). In Real Life, some dress codes have been disallowed as they were deemed racist or sexist. For example, some schools that banned dreadlocks were told by courts that this rule discriminated against Black students. In the UK, courts ruled against workplace dess codes that required women to wear makeup and reapply it throughout the day, and against workplaces that required women to wear high heels. In the US, the ACLU has defended students from schools seeking to punish them for wearing certain clothes to school. In most of the legal cases, the crux of the case is that the rules are discriminatory towards certain groups. For example, in one ACLU case, a female student was punished for wearing a tube top. The "no tube tops" rule was struck down because it only applied to female students. Dress codes and workplace safety rules may overlap. For example, a warehouse worker's uniform may include heavy-duty coveralls and a construction hat. These items are not merely for appearance's sake, as they also protect the worker. note Since workplace safety clothing and safety hat requirements provide protection, workers who want to seek religious exemptions, such as Sikh men who wear a turban who request an exemption from construction hat rules, are often denied by tribunals for safety reasons. Contrast Underdressed for the Occasion and No Dress Code. |

One Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode has a (male) judge chewing ADA Casey Novak out for wearing pants in court and ordering her to wear a skirt in the future. She then proceeds to kick his ass. Casey Novak, everybody. The whole point of the episode is said judge's "traditional" (i.e. sexist) views on women in society, and how Novak is able to reveal the ways he lets those views affect his judgment in court. For example, a married housewife is automatically assumed to be a good person, despite the evidence that she tends to shake her baby; on the other hand, he convicts a single mother of killing her baby mostly because he sees her as little more than a slut. |

In the Honor Harrington series the standard court costume imposed by tradition on the Manticoran nobility during formal events, having been created by a society with essentially de facto gender equality, is unisex and includes such things as tight brightly striped pants which look unfortunate on people without the physique to pull it off and mildly ridiculous otherwise. Duchess Harrington herself, choosing to exploit her title from the planet Grayson as an excuse, decides to wear a much more comfortable and fashionable looking dress (Grayson having a more "traditional" view of women and fashion), this causing a minor social uproar when Queen Elizabeth III decides that's a damn fine idea. | |

The Berenstain Bears: The Big Chapter Book "And the Dress Code" revolves around one; the plot starts when the annual run of new spring fashions (or "rad clothes") starts getting out of hand at Bear Country School, in part out of rebellion after Stern Teacher Miss Glitch orders Queenie McBear to go home and change due to disapproving her choice of clothing (a very short miniskirt) despite only being on hall duty and not being Queenie's teacher, and not even sending her to the principal's office first. Vice-Principal Grizzmeyer, who becomes acting principal while Principal Honeycomb is out of town on school-related business, fully supports Miss Glitch because he also disapproves of the rad clothes, and institutes a dress code specifically aimed at banning them, along with roping other adults outside the school into the movement against them. When the cubs turn to Loophole Abuse to get past the rules, he keeps updating it to try and close the loopholes, until it boils down to "Any cub who shows up in clothes I don't approve of will be sent home, no exceptions". The cubs respond by threatening to refuse to come to school unless he backs down. Finally, some other adults persuade both sides to agree to debate, which the cubs win handily via revealing the three lead adults in the anti-rad movement were no better in their youth. After the anti-rad group concedes, Principal Honeycomb reveals he's returned early and declares an end to the dress code, along with instituting casual Fridays, which satisfies the students and leads them to tone down the clothes of their own free will. | |

NCIS has Lab Rat/Perky Goth Abby wearing clothing that ranges from stereotypical Goth to Stripperiffic. When called out on it and forced to wear normal office attire, she ends up in a great deal of emotional distress and loses some of her brilliance. Naturally, Papa Wolf Gibbs stands up for her and she is allowed to revert to her...less than business casual wardrobe. | |

Usually averted in SpongeBob SquarePants (mostly because Patrick, who wears neither a shirt nor shoes is one of the Krusty Krab's regular customers, not to mention, most of the characters on the show don't wear shoes), but the episode, "The Algae's Always Greener" has Spongebob scream, "No shirt, no shoes, no service!" while firing a cannon armed with clothing at a naked Mr. Krabs. | |

Beetle Bailey: Miss Buxley often flouts the office dress code. PVT Blips has remarked that General Halftrack won't say anything about her pants being too tight because it's hard to speak with your tongue hanging out. In one strip, Miss Buxley wears a matching mini-skirt and cropped top to work and explains to PVT Blips why she's wearing that outfit: In this strip◊, she wears a bikini to the office. |

When Tiffany is nearly trapped in a Fairyland dream of a fancy party, however, it takes them a while to show up, because the dream won't let them in unless they're in evening dress. | |

El Goonish Shive: Moperville North implements a strict dress code after the principal catches "a fight caused by students wearing opposing gang symbols" (actually just Tedd poking fun at Susan's Star Trek: The Next Generation shirt). No one is happy about the uniforms, especially Susan who begins a protest over the sexist female outfits (they have a mandatory skirt and superfluous vest). The protest stretches over multiple arcs and five real-life years, until the principal unceremoniously removes the dress code after Susan shows up on the news - not because of the sexism, but because of the extra laundry every kid had to do. | |

Little House on the Prairie: The Season 7 episode "Goodbye, Mrs. Wilder," sees snobbish temporary Schoolmarm Mrs. Oleson demand – not suggest or request, demand – a dress code for the students – a white button-down shirt, ties, slacks and dress shoes, all to assert her authority. Uncaring that most families are from farming backgrounds could not afford expensive uniforms, and poo-pooing the notion that Walnut Grove School was not a large private or boarding school – hoping to draw more business to the Mercantile (since it was the only dry good store in town and it would be the point of delivery for the uniforms). The school did not have a specifically-written dress code, although it was expected they'd dress appropriately. | |

The way the system works, you can get away with stuff like wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses in a fancy restaurant just so long as the rest of your outfit is nice enough to make up for it. | |

One of the smaller "offenses" in Rockstar's Bully is to break the dress code. By itself, the ping on your Wanted Meter won't even get the power-tripping prefects doing anything more than yelling at you, but if you commit other infractions, it can push it over a dangerous line. | |
