WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO YOUR OFFICE THESE DAYS?

I am having an argument in the office about Dress Codes. My Team Leader has requested in writing, at our weekly meetings and through emails, that agents coming to work in the office should dress appropriately. He has asked us to dress for success and and has requested NO JEANS. This request went over well for about a month, and now a certain group of young gun agents and even our front desk receptionist have slipped back into their bad habits and are showing up to work like they are going to a beer party...or worse! Not only are they wearing blue jeans, but they are tattered, ripped and frayed at the heels. The receptionist wore hip hugger jeans today and her BELLY was sticking out. She lamely attempted to cover it up with a short jacket! The older agents in the office were pretty shocked!

So my point is, do we as REALTORS need to look professional when working in our office, can we wear anything we want to anytime-anywhere and who does what out there? Does it really matter? Can young agents be so cavellier and disrespectful because of today's culture and just get away with it?

I guess I am old school. Is there an OLD school? Am I missing something here?
