they can’t fire you for wearing shorts.
True, but they can disrespect you for failing to fit in with the corporate culture. Honestly, I’d rather be fired.
There are plenty of workplaces where you can wear “whatever you want”, and I’m happy to work at one of those… But the clothes you choose to wear still has consequences. I can totally turn up to work in a full suit/tie/etc if I want. But I’d stick out like a sore thumb.
Hooded towels are totally a thing. And they’re awesome.
