It seems that there is no end to dress code dramas as there’ll always be conflict between the management of certain premises wanting to enforce dress codes versus members of the public who think such rules are simply nonsense.
Recently, The Exchange 106 TRX management drew backlash after they released a notice to remind all tenants and guests that they have to observe a business or smart casual dress code as outlined in the building’s Tenant Handbook.
In a post shared on Twitter, a netizen posted the notice, which explained that the dress code was to reflect The Exchange 106’s status as a Premium A Grade building.
Exchange 106 at TRX doesn't want tenants to wear certain clothes.
They say that even guests must match their image as a "Premium A Grade building".
No slippers, no shorts. Or they will restrict access to common areas.
IMO this is ridiculous. ?
What's their occupancy BTW? pic.twitter.com/OQx5v34jEh

This means attire like slippers, shorts, and tank tops are not allowed or considered inappropriate, and the management would not hesitate to restrict access to those dressed inappropriately.
The dress code divided netizens as some had found the dress code to be silly whilst others believed that it is appropriate considering the nature of the building.
“The dress code is just hilarious. It would mean that a lot of start-ups CEO will be barred.”
Another user commented, “This is an office building. This is a good policy, office building wear properly lah.”
What do you think of the dress code? Let us know in the comments.
