Fashion sense and modesty can absolutely go out the window as the mercury rises. Workers will wear anything -- or practically nothing at all -- in a futile attempt to beat the heat. But scantily clad workers in a professional setting can create real dilemmas for employers, says labor and employment attorney Audrey Mross of Dallas-based Munck Carter. "A coworker who is revealing a little too much can make colleagues uncomfortable or, intentionally or unintentionally, attract attention that forms the basis of a harassment claim," Mross says. "Supervisors are often loathe to confront the situation since it can come off as an attack on personal taste or style. That's where the value of a consistent, basic dress code comes in."
