That has been going on for many years, at least in SoCal, in businesses with personnel that don't have public contact. I can remember in the mid-70s working for an insurance company that mandated coat and tie for their male employees but had given up on dress codes for women. The result is that the men had to come to work in coat and tie, while the women were sashaying in their jeans and T-shirts. Wearing coat and tie is no hardship if you can afford decent apparel, but the pay there was niggardly in the extreme. We could afford nothing but cheap clothes, which took all the pleasure out of it!
