"Should there be a dress code in places such as school, restaurants, and places of business? Why or why not?"
I think there should be a dress code in place in most places you go to. At school, I like wearing a uniform, it gives the class a sense of unity, and we still get a lot of room to flex our styles inside of that. My uniform is good looking too, so it's not like downgrading clothing just to go to school.
In businesses in SL, it's hard to do a dress code aside from not showing any naughty bits, but IRL, there really should be. People shouldn't be going to the store with their butts hanging out of their shorts, like on People of Walmart. I don't even like it when people go to the store in their PJs because PJs are something you wear in your house and in bed, not outside. There's a difference between having your own style and just looking trashy, and while having the fashion police running around would be bad, people need to have some sense when they walk out the door.
