Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employers are able to have workplace dress codes as long as they do not violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. There is nothing in Title VII to prevent an employer from prohibiting men from wearing makeup in the workplace. Note, however, that the EEOC has interpreted discrimination against transgenders as a violation of Title VII based on gender.
