If you go to Barbados for a trip, a holiday or leisure, it is imperative that you be prepared with appropriate clothing. It's sort of Barbados is warm all year and I have the right clothes should be an essential part of planning your trip. Tips Barbados Dress Code: Beach Wear: There is no nude or topless beaches in Barbados, you have to bring shorts or bathing suits for kids and a bikini or swimsuit for the ladies. Guys, if you intend to bring a bathing suit to get a second opinion on whether you look good in them, or you'll be laughing stock on the beach. Ladies, if you have a big belly and the need to lose weight, the lost bikini. As I said before, there is no topless beach in Barbados, including the form from time to time on the beaches of several here see these out of shape 40 + ladies in the UK or the U.S. to be whenever they can get forms by flash boobs at the beach. Do not know if it's a kind of mating ritual of trying to attract a man renting a few weeks. Here are some tips for free, you do not need flash, you will find a car by a man, no problem, many of them go, how to find the form and you're ugly! Day Wear: I would say the best clothes and can be worn during the day, when you are on travel or tour, is to use a pair of shorts and a light jacket, because believe me that is heated in Royal day. During the day, whether at the beach or a trip I recommend a pair of sunglasses, hat, sunscreen and tanning. I know from experience that even when the sun shines, it is easy to burn if precautions are not taken. I also believe that crocodiles are ideal for shoes are perfect for the beach and both the day walking. Evening dresses: The last thing you want to use during the festival in Barbados is a pair of jeans. Guys I would recommend either a good pair of shorts or light pants and a cotton or linen shirt loose, and needless to say underwear wholesale. For the ladies, "and a light cotton dress or linen, and there is much less to keep you cool. If you find a restaurant that expects you to wear a shirt and tie and jacket, I suggest you go find another place to eat. Even if the temperature cools down a bit once the sun in Barbados, we must remember we are in the Caribbean, there is still enough all the time whatever the time of day. Business Use: If you are on the island for business I would recommend a short-sleeved shirt and lightweight suit, ladies fancy dresses and make sure your clothing is light. Always carry a handkerchief as the night or a business meeting, are perfect to clean the sweat of your brow. When in Barbados, if you dress appropriately for the heat will have the experience and take appropriate precautions to avoid sun damage to your skin, you should have a good trip. One last tip you've heard a thousand times, drink lots of fresh fruit juice and water to prevent dehydration.

Every year public school boards across the country debate the issue of implementing school dress regulations and what level they will enforce it. In an ever growing trend, the school uniform is being pushed as a way to stop violence and promote order in schools. Does it actually work?
So far, there is no proof that the way a child dresses for school will increase there ability to learn or to curb violence in the school setting. If your child’s school doesn’t have a uniform rule in place, it does have a dress code of some sort. All schools have a dress code, some school seem to enforce more strict rules than others but each year before the bell rings this topic comes up for debate.
This is not a new issue. This issue has been around as long as we as human beings started wearing clothing. Each religion and country has its own ‘dress code’ more stringently aimed at women 90% of the time.   If you ask the populous what their feelings are about some of the dress restriction in place in foreign countries, general consents will agree this is an oppression of freedom of expression. But if you refer to ‘dress code’ in schools it seems politically more correct. Ask any high school student and their response will definitely scream freedom violation.
The problem is that the school boards should not be spending their time making these decisions and enforcing them. The schools time and our tax dollars are better spent on educating the children in question rather than fashion critiquing. But they are! They are because the school board doesn’t feel parents are doing their job  anymore and are grasping at a way to get it back. The school system has lost the hold they once had on order in the classrooms. Sadly, the idea that a dress code or uniform will bring back the days of order in the classroom is very mistaken. The problem isn’t what the kids are wearing; it is what they are or are not learning in school and at home. It’s a society issue that has been growing for years. Regardless the dress code pro’s and con’s debate will continue so we have to look at the issues.
What is reasonable? How should it be enforced? Is it a breach of freedom?
Some of these rules are forged from common sense; some are old etiquette and some I have not found a reasonable explanation for. Here are some of the restrictions in debate:
- No hair bands, kerchiefs
- No caps or hats
- No unnatural hair colors
- No make-up
- Big jewelry
- No flip-flops or sandals without a strap at the back
- No outdoor shoes that make black marks on the floor
- No tank tops or spaghetti strap tops that show shoulders or arm pits
- No shirts showing the midriff or belly button
- No shirts with offensive language or promoting violence
- No shirts or shorts above the knees
- No pants with underwear showing
It’s common sense that if movie and TV have to bleep out the adult language and violence as a rating that wearing an offensive language t-shirt would be offensive and shoes that leave black marks are damaging school property, both of these rules I can agree on 100%. T-shirts with “Harley Davidison” or a skeleton is not dangerous just artistic to some. Kerchiefs have been banned from wearing because of its being used by inner city gangs as a way to indentify gang allegiance. Being a parent of a child attending a small rural school where this is not an issue for grade school children, I find the rule odd to even spend time enforcing. But if it helps save lives by banning bandanas then I am definitely in agreement with it. The need to remove gang activity and violence from the school setting should be a top priority but we need so much more than a dress code to do that.
Removing your hat when you are inside was an etiquette rule centuries old. Men removed their hats indoors as a polite gesture and in reverence when entering church. This etiquette rule is lost to the new generation. They see hat wearing as fashion and a way to hide bad hair and nothing else. So when adults tell them it’s rude to wear their hat inside they don’t understand. I mean it’s only a hat; it’s not really rude to wear a hat. It’s just something of the older generation understands the meaning of and has no stands in today. How can we remove so many more important traditions such as sing the ‘National Anthem’ every morning and tell children a several hundred year old hat rules still applies?
The same goes with clothing etiquette. I personally do not allow my daughter to go to school in clothing I find too revealing. As a parent I get a few years to have a say in some of her dressing choices because I pay for them that gives me a little leverage as a parent. The school board on the other hand does not pay for her clothing and therefore I feel they should have limited say. As a young girl, I wore cute sundresses my mother handmade for me, they had spaghetti straps, they showed my shoulders and my arm pits and there was never an issue. Were they inappropriate to wear? Well even the strictest of teachers never said a peep about them other than to compliment my mother’s sewing skills. But today my daughter is not allowed to wear the same attire because apparently showing her shoulders might distract the boys from learning. Give me a break! If the girl were dresses in blouses up to their necks and long skirts with petticoats the reaction would be the same. Actually I believe if you read ‘Anne of Green Gables’ you’d see even then school was a melting pot of hormone reactions between boys and girls. How they dressed did not change the fact ‘boys will be boys’ and ‘girls will be girls’ whatever the fashion. Back then showing your ankle was the dress code issue, things don’t change.
The responsibility for clothing decisions needs to be left to parents, not schools. As much as I feel some of today’s fashion is quite wild and not to my taste, I do not believe the power to decide what my children wear should be in the hands of the School Board. In the end it all comes down to a matter of personal opinion. I believe everyone, children alike deserve right to express themselves through their style. Living in a democratic country where I strongly believe in supporting freedom of expression, these beliefs outweigh my personal fashion preferences.   Living in a country where we have choices and a voice is the reason this debate will probably continue every school year for generations to come.

Advertisements for Polo Ralph Lauren show a world populated by beautiful trust-fund families on their leafy estates. But how far should a company go to propel that image into the public consciousness? A few current and former employees say Polo crossed the line. Two onetime sales associates joined a class-action lawsuit this week alleging that image was, in part, crafted illegally, by forcing salespeople to spend thousands of dollars a year on the company’s latest outfits to project a “lifestyle image. ” The hired help, in other words, struggled to keep the shirt on their backs, even with the in-house 65% discount. Accusations against the posh clothing company ring true for many salespeople, but few have taken their case to court, said Dean Friar, spokesman for California’s Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. The law says employers who require workers to wear uniforms must provide that wardrobe at no cost. “But we see, instead, discounts given out,” Friar said. “That’s very common. ” Industry experts, including representatives of the National Retail Federation, the largest retail trade organization in the world, have never heard of a lawsuit similar to the one filed against Polo. They say salespeople are traditionally expected to look presentable and sport some of the designer’s product, but no one reached by The Times had heard of an employer forcing its staff to invest heavily in wardrobe. “This strikes me as a unique lawsuit,” said Peter Arnold, executive director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The complaint against Polo was initially filed in federal court last month in San Francisco by Toni Young, a 31-year-old sales associate. Attorneys for Polo have until Nov. 4 to respond to the complaint. When contacted for this story, Polo spokeswoman Ellen Maguire said that the company does not comment on pending litigation. Plaintiff attorney Patrick R. Kitchin says Young, who earned $22,000 last year, has receipts that show she was required to spend more than $6,000 a year on Polo purchases since she began working at the store in 1997. “It’s a ton of money,” he said by phone from his office near the Polo store where Young still works. Young’s lawsuit also alleges that Polo managers conducted “strip searches to ensure that all of their clothing is from the defendants’ product lines. ” “They would ask Ms. Young to take off her sweaters – she had a shirt on underneath – or take off her shoes, so they could check the labels,” Kitchin said. “In late August, all employees in the San Francisco store were told they needed five new outfits from the fall collection. They had to come in wearing the outfits so they could be photographed and those photographs could be kept in a file sent on to headquarters in New York. ” Kitchin has posted the Web to attract additional plaintiffs. One of the newest plaintiffs is 26-year-old Janika Goff, who worked at the same store as Young, where both Ralph Lauren Designer Clothes and Polo clothes are sold. Over five years, she sold shoes and clothes full time and made about $24,000 a year. Each season, she was entitled to an 80% discount off two pairs of shoes and a 65% discount off everything else, including the Polo clothes she was expected to wear every day. “They wanted you to be in current season and wanted the shoes to look nice and not scuffed, but I was running up and down stairs, doing stock work sometimes, so I would buy comfortable shoes,” said Goff, who now works at a bank in San Diego. Goff estimates that after five years at Polo, she had accumulated 65 pairs of shoes, most of which she considers in great condition but that were too scuffed for store’s management to consider acceptable. When Goff showed up in sandals one day, a manager made her choose a pair of loafers to wear. “The price of $50 was deducted from my paycheck,” Goff said. For Young, the store’s expectations were clearly out of line with what she knew about retail. She had previously worked at the mid-range clothing chain Bebe while she worked toward a court stenographer’s degree. “I did have to buy Bebe clothes, but they were a lot more lax about how current you had to be,” she said. “You could actually go to a secondhand store and buy a Bebe outfit for work and not be questioned. ” Another former employee who confirmed he has joined Young’s class-action lawsuit is Troy Greene, a former sales associate for eight years at Polo on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Greene was earning $87,000 by the time he resigned last month over a dispute about new payment structures. He was immediately hired by Prada, also on Rodeo Drive, which provides its employees with uniforms – at no charge – that must be returned at the end of each season. “We get two pairs of trousers, four dress shirts, four knit tops, two pairs of shoes and a belt. All paid for,” said Greene, 40. “Gucci does the same thing. ” According to Young, Polo management received commissions on the “sales” they made to their staffs. Young, who is black, also filed a racial discrimination suit against Polo in San Francisco Superior Court last month. Kitchin says that in addition to being subject to cruel racial remarks by superiors, Young has not been promoted during her five-year career at the store, despite glowing reviews from managers. “She was told her hair was too nappy, and she needed to straighten her hair,” Kitchin said. “Managers call out to her with an exaggerated African American urban accent. They call her ‘Ms. Thang. ’ ” This is not the first tussle Polo has had with its staff. In February, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Polo Ralph Lauren Clothing Corp. denied minorities the same pay and opportunities as whites even as it promoted a “blond hair and blue eyes” image. The commission’s conclusion was related to another lawsuit pending in federal court by two former Polo employees.
