I totally agree. The WH is not an amusement park. It doesn’t take much effort, time or money to wear something reasonable. And the women don’t necessarily have to wear skirts or dresses when lightweight pants will do. I don’t even wear shorts when I;m in the desert in your great state. I wear lightweight pants and am just as cool and more comfortable than if I were in heavyweight jeans or shorts. When I was in your state last week, I work a pair of stretch pants and a stretch tee (a little dressier material) and also wore lightweight khakis and a short-sleeved collared shirt. How difficult is that?
And people who dress well behave accordingly. People who dress like slobs act like slobs. It takes no effort at all to appear neat.
