I'm afraid I must disagree, cultural dress does not carry the same protection as religious dress and an employer may specify a dress code that they feel is appropriate for their business. Discrimination based on culture is not protected the way sex, religion, national origin etc. are.
The Sex Discrimination Act has not been used succesfully in most cases for men to wear skirts or kilts. Also it is perfectly legal to require an employee to wear what is considered conventional dress for any employee that may come in view of customers.
