The things you miss while at the office in a dress....

Well, I'm afraid I must agree with Mr. Will and the minority of posters who long for a return to better dressing. I've gone to skirts (okay, two are denim, but one is dark wash with a cute kick pleat) when leaving the house. Unless I'm going to a hockey game, hunting for a Christmas tree or moving a relative, jeans are not an option - by choice. I work in a building which houses a prominent architectural firm. Their employees stick out like sore thumbs because they always look like slobs. Not my style. Even at symphony rehearsal tonight, the number of instrumentalists who looked as if they were homeless was ridiculous.

Oh, and sandals - only if they are metallic leather and after I've had a good pedicure. Ugly feet are not attractive.

We? Split personality or the proverbial mouse in your pocket?

Oh, if we could only convince everyone to wear slacks they’d magically start voting for Republicans again, no, wait, sorry, *conservatives*.

It is dolts like you that make people NOT want to vote for conservative candidates. I thought Will’s column was the stupidest thing I was going to read today, but you easily outpaced him. Congrats.

*the denim defenders seem to be awfully sensitive....*

You people sure have reading comprehension problems. This is not about ‘denim’.

If you’re tumescent for a dress code, try converting to Islam. This is America—and unfortunately for the octogenarians, the days of the Fedora and the 10 cent cigar are long gone.

I don’t know what’s sadder, that George considered this worth writing, or that the Post considered it worth printing.

Yet another magnificent and witty response. This repartee is invigorating.

A Poindexter looking dweeb who wears bow ties is the last person I would look to for fashion advice.

Making your kids play that lame sport is child abuse.

Would you take fashion advice from this man?

While we’re at it, what’s with the Opie Taylor haircut.

Does George think he’s a 10 year old boy from the ‘60s in Mayberry?

I suppose that the kid who beat him up and took his lunch money every day wore blue jeans, instilling a life-long case of denimphobia.

Anyone wearing that belt has no business critiquing anyone else’s dress.

This is just testing the waters for sharia. Making women give up jeans will be a tuff sell though...

Women will purchase pistols and blow those funny little caps right off the heads of the male muslims before they give up their jeans!
