Well, I wish you well, but I would seriously suggest mentioning it to your manager ASAP! HR will contact him or her, and it is better if you have mentioned ahead of time that you will be pushing the dress code in your company. Otherwise, I agree with your approach. Search the archives and you will see that I went through a similar experience about a year ago, as have others.

Good luck!

My HR rep seems open to the idea and is going to run it up the HR flagpole. She really isn't sure what the reaction will be.

Didn't run it by my manager yet since HR would be the ultimate arbiter if anyone yapped. I suspect he'll support me as long as I'm not doing it for the sake of attention-getting behavior.

Here's hoping I'm among an enlightened crowd.
