Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted global norms, revealing both systemic flaws and new efficiencies, chief among them the shift to remote work. As businesses moved online, traditional boundaries between public and private life, and fixed working hours blurred. While employees are expected to work toward organizational goals, remote settings call for a reassessment of rights and obligations of both the employer and employee, considering the nature and location of work. Dress codes, historically tied to professionalism, safety, and branding, are now being reexamined in light of evolving freedoms of religion and expression. Clothing, as a form of personal identity, gains stronger protection within one's home. As virtual workspaces become the norm, this article traces the jurisprudence behind the enforcement of dress codes and whether that enforcement holds valid in an online workplace.
