I workout and enjoy looking good but I did I do it for me. I work as a front receptionist in a real estate office. They want me to wear short skirts that show my buttocks and portions of my thighs. Can My Company Require Me to Wear Clothes That Are Sexually Provocative Even If I’m Uncomfortable In Them?
By Deskin Law Firm
The law says that grooming standards or appearance codes that are intended to be sexually provocative and tend to stereotype women as sex objects such as requiring a female to wear a uniform that reveals portions of her thighs and buttocks may constitute sex discrimination.
I work in a café and they require all the women to wear makeup and bows in their hair. Even though both the men and the women have to uniforms, only the women have to do something more with their hair and face. I think this extra burden on the women is discriminatory. Is it against the law?

Many employer’s have what they call a “Personal Best†grooming policy where they require their male and female employees to wear the same uniforms but differentiate between the men and women when it comes to hair, hands and face. Men may not be permitted to wear makeup and might be required to have their hair short while women might be required to wear eye and face makeup. If the "requirement" is imposing an undue burden on the woman as to time and cost to comply and the policy was created to make people conform to sexual stereotypes, then it may be discriminatory.
