Personally, I try to dress better than I am required to. To avoid problems.
In this circumstance, the woman says there is NO dress code at her workplace. It's been her manager who has criticised her, not the owner of the company or higher up boss. I don't know what her workplace is like but it does not sound like a very large company if there is no actual dress code.
If I was in this situation I would probably ask the manager for an outline of what clothes are appropriate for work and what are not. Ask her to post it in the break room where I could refer to it when needed. Then there would end up being a dress code for the whole workplace. The woman's gripe here is partly that her co-workers are not being held to the same standard. There needs to be a specific outlined standard that would be required from every employee.
She could be fired for other reasons possibly but if they were to fire her for 'inappropriate dress' then she could probably fight it if there was no set 'appropriate dress' standard. Why would you want to work someplace that was unfair as that though, anyway?
