In response to MANY emails from you all, Gaby delves into the classist and racist background of the work dress code. First, they interview reporter Amanda Mull who is the author of the article "After The Pandemic, The Office Dress Code Should Never Come Back." What should you wear to work? How was business casual invented? What will we wear post-Covid? Then, Gaby interviews Stanford professor Rich Ford, author of the history of fashion tome "Dress Codes: How The Laws of Fashion Made History." Ford gives the history of "proper dress" from the 1300s until today's lawsuits about Black women's hairstyles, trans peoples' work clothes, gendered school uniforms, and all the ways that dress codes affect work. Plus, a personal story about Gaby's history with dress codes and shoplifting.
This episode includes a conversation with Black author Rich Ford about anti-Black racism and use of terms that may be troubling. Please take care while listening.
