The dress code conversation continues as we examine the next crop of articles discussing dress code madness. Articles from Canada, England, and the United States are featured today, showing that #dresscodewars is happening both near and far.



I don't know about you, but I have noticed so many dress code stories in the news of late: the lady who got kicked out of the Golden Corral for wearing a crop top, Tommy Lee getting kicked out of Emeril Lagasse's restaurant for wearing a hat, and the Houston Principal who instituted a dress code for the parents. Dress codes have been a part of the National conversation recently.

In today's video, I'm examining three more articles on dress:

Austin ISD revamps dress code to allow hoodies, halters and hats

Police and teachers have been criticised for locking school gates to schoolchildren who protested a new 'gender neutral' uniform policy this morning, leaving pupils to wander the streets of a Sussex town.

Is ‘modesty’ no longer the best policy? On dress codes, Canadian schools begin to change their approach

Two articles focus on the lax dress codes in schools and one focuses on the new gender neutral uniforms.

Why do you think dress codes have been featured news items lately? What is behind the dress code wars? What are your opinions on the articles discussed? Join the conversation and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog.

Comment of the Week
Rebecca K. asks, "Jennifer, do you use a diaper bag or just your large purses? I have a 2 year old and 4 year old so I have been using a backpack style diaper bag to have both hands free, but it doesn’t feel particularly chic."

Hi Rebecca, I get this question a lot. Yes, I do just use a large handbag instead of a diaper bag. I tried a traditional diaper bag with my first two children, but really found them to be unnecessary. Everything I need can fit into one of my large tote bags or I just use a canvas bag. Many people requested a dedicated handbag video so I could do one of those soon. Thank you!

I hope you enjoyed today's video. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all three articles discussed down below. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on The Daily Connoisseur. I'll see you next time for The Chic Assignment check-in.

Welcome to another episode of 3 Articles on Dress. Today we are discussing the athleisure trend (is it dying?), looking good in loungewear, and another dress code violation... but this time from a famous rocker.



Here are the three articles discussed in today's video.

Loungewear as ‘Aesthetic’ Is a Symptom of Constant Self‑Optimization

Athleisure is losing stamina in the fashion world

Emeril Lagasse laughs off Tommy Lee's complaint that he was kicked out of his restaurant

I would love to know your thoughts on all of the articles discussed today. Do you think athleisure is losing steam? Do women struggle with self-optimization in their loungewear? What are your thoughts on all of the recent dress code violations? Let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week.

Comment of the Week
Comrie P. writes,"Jennifer, I am a high school English teacher (American Literature), and I so appreciate that you offered the unconventional insight about "The Road Less Taken." I used to assign students to bring a poem to class to share with their fellow students, and I cannot count how many times I have seen this Frost poem as a student selection. When asked why, the students almost always quip the standard American individualism answer (even if not using those exact words). I believe this can be true because a good poem (like rich classical orchestration) speaks to us a various depths and with different strains of melody and harmony. The interpretation you share seems much more accurate to the body of Frost's work, and this analysis is a good reminder to challenge the majority way of thinking...something I think Daily Connoisseurs all appreciate. Thank you!"


Hi Comrie, thank you for sharing your perspective as an English teacher. It's amazing how truly looking at the poem brings to light the alternative interpretation. You're right, challenging the majority way of thinking is always eye-opening. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hello friends,

I am back with another 3 Articles on Dress video. Today we are going to explore gender neutral dress codes, dressing well for air travel, and the surprising latest fall trend.



The first article discusses the recent Gender Neutral Dress Code implemented at a Virginia Public School.

The second article, which I have discussed before on the channel, shares an argument for why we should dress well for air travel via Slate.

The final article discusses the surprising fall trend: bourgeoisie "boring" dressing.

Be sure to watch today's video to hear the details on each article and my thoughts. I would love to know yours too!

Please note: this is the headband I am wearing in today's video.

On Facebook, Sandie B. writes, "Hi Jennifer, Just to let you know, following on from your video regarding compliments...
I have received three different complements on three different dresses that I’ve worn in the last week, as well as my teenage daughter telling me one of my outfits was cute!
Dressing nicely boosts confidence, and each outfit was secondhand so didn’t cost a fortune!!"

Sandie, this is so wonderful! I'm thrilled you are feeling great in your flattering dresses. Thanks for letting us know!
