Becker | @teego1967: I was thinking the same thing myself, the usage of 'immodest' has religious connotations... but it would fully explain the OP's concerns. If this is about company policy, it all becomes very cut and dry, and HR can address this without any subjective grey area ... but it wouldn't explain the reason the OP posted the question, since such a black and white designation doesn't require very subjective adjectives like 'immodest'. | |

If it is all about "company policy" and not your own then why do you concern yourself at all? Your point of view would be remotely fathomable if you had some strict religious sensibilities. | |

It's not a difference of taste (they're clearly objectively breaking the rules), so what do they know that you don't? Or you know that they don't? Figure that out and the way to deal with it might jump out at you. Your discomfort is irrelevant -- if company policy is to wear blue then their clothes could be "too red" and the approach is the same. | |

| Jun 27, 2014 at 20:27 | comment | added | Stephen B. | I appreciate the comment, and the behavior I am talking about is breaking company policy, not my own. | |
