When does a dress code become sexist?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Last month a new high-end sushi restaurant in Surrey came under scrutiny for publishing a dress code that asked women to wear ‘sexy black ankle-strap heels with a form-fitting top’ or ‘bodycon dresses’. The restaurant has since apologised and changed the ‘sexist’ uniform requests. 91¸£ÀûÉç Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour presenter Jessica Creighton spoke to Anna Sebastian, a Hospitality Consultant, and Claire Curzon, the Managing Director of Brighter Directions, a marketing and communications agency, about how attitudes towards women and dress codes have changed.
