    As a bakery clerk, I was expected to wear a bright red button-up shirt, black or tan pants, shoe covers, and a bright blue apron and hat baring the Meijer logo. Wearing this not only reinforced the feeling of deindividuation, it also formed subcultures (or parts of a society that have distinctive values rituals etc.) based on the company 's hierarchal level of organization (page 69). Red shirts performed the more “low-leveled” skills such as working bakery, placing products onto the sales floor, and cashiering. Blue shirts consist of upper management positions that told the red shirts what tasks to perform. Finally, those in Meijer wearing white shirts and ties were the upper management, which controlled both those with blue and red shirts. Interestingly enough, although these uniforms were established to ease employees into conforming to their assigned roles, it lead to social tensions within the red shirt (“lower class”) and blue shirt (“middle-upper class”) levels. While the managers attempted to assert their dominance through humiliating acts such as public shaming and punishment, a small group of red shirts formed a counterculture ( a group that is against certain aspects of a society) that opposed the store and openly defamed it (page 70). They refused to properly wear their uniforms by sagging their pants, smoke weed in…

    Exquisite Adversity His blue striped tie rested against the navy silk-like dress shirt he chose to dress himself in for the occasion. The color complimented his combed red hair as it shined, more so from the sun, while its natural state was a shade darker. He had tucked the tails of his shirt into a pair of black dress pants held on his hips by a black belt accenting the shined black shoes that put the final touch to his attire. The cuffs on his sleeves were buttoned, and the collar of his…

    The triangle would be lined by fringes and decorated with an icon in the center. Some shirts would have an attached triangular flap instead of a painted one. The main symbol located within the fringes was usually accompanied with set of motifs that would be equally spaced from each other, but the motifs were not always identical. The sleeves were long enough to cover the entire arms of the patron and were often decorated with fringes as well. The dresses shared a similar design. They also had…

    The men's ideal body changed in the nineteen thirties. The ideal body for a man was very athletic looking. If a man wanted a job, they would work out to look bigger and stronger so that job would hire them. Most jobs during The Great Depression required a great amount of strength (Vintage Dancer). The ideal look during the summer for men was a short-sleeved shirt that was a button down. Most summer shirts were tan colored. Winter shirts were dark blues . Each button down shirt had four pockets,…

    As well as being able to wear things that have sexual comments towards women. For an example a young student wore a piece of clothing that said “You have to be this tall to ride me”. But when a girl wears a shirt that shows her shoulders she is told to change immediately or put something on that will cover her body. Why should wearing certain things be such a big deal when guys are able to wear muscle shirts and show their arms and shoulders? Many female students are fed up with the fact that…

    scene in the early 2000’s (Listal RSS). Although he has done editorials in Out magazine, he has never ‘come out’ as LGBTQ+ himself. It is, however, strongly rumored that he is gay (vooxpopuli). In the ad itself, Perovich is not wearing a shirt, but he is wearing white sailor pants and a “Dixie Cup” sailor hat (the latter of which has been used by the Navy since 1886). The background of the room is blurred out to bring focus to the model, but it looks almost reminiscent of a standard military…

On a hot day of practice guys are allowed to wear things like muscle tees, or at some schools no shirts at all, but if a girl's shorts are too short or their sports bra is visible, even through a shirt, they have to go change (Roshell). This applies to casual clothes as well. At school they focus on how much skin a girl is showing, or the length of her clothes but, with guys schools focus on things like if they have on a belt, or if the garment has…
