Dress Code / Business CasualClothing is an aspect of human physical appearance, and like other aspects of human physical appearance, it has social significance. All societies have dress codes, most of which are unwritten but understood by most members of the society.

This message may include information about the person's social class, income, occupation, ethnic and religious affiliation, attitude, marital status, sexual availability and sexual orientation.
