Who decides what’s “appropriate” to wear — and why does it matter so much? In this powerful episode of Wardrobe Memo, we unpack the history, politics, and personal stories behind dress codes. From colonial uniform policies to office attire, from gendered school rules to global protest garments, we uncover how dress codes shape power, reinforce inequality, and spark rebellion — sometimes quietly, sometimes with sequins.
You’ll hear deeply personal listener stories, global perspectives, and thoughtful reflection on how our clothes speak before we do. Because sometimes, the most radical thing you can do… is get dressed as yourself.


In this episode:
The real purpose behind school and workplace dress codes

How dress policies have been used for control — and for protest

Global dress-code resistance from Iran to Nigeria

Listener stories of rebellion, identity, and survival through clothing

Why dressing for comfort is more political than you think

A final reflection on what your clothes say when you’re not speaking

The revolution may not be televised, but it will definitely be worn.
