  • What to Do When Your Child Refuses to Put on Winter Clothes
    www.autism-mi.org 40th Anniversary 1976-2016 email: [email protected] Autism Society of Michigan 2178 Commons Pky Okemos, MI 48864 517-882-2800 What to Do When Your Child Refuses to Put on Winter Clothes Many people—kids and adults—find putting on winter clothes to be a pain. But sensory processing issues can make it a real misery. Kids who are hypersensitive or who are tactile defensive may literally scream if they put on clothes that don’t feel right. The clothes might be too tight, too bulky, too itchy or too hot. And that can make everyday life difficult for the whole family. Getting your child with sensory processing issues to wear winter clothes isn’t impossible. But it can take time, compromise and some creativity. The strategies you use will depend on your child’s age and his particular challenges and sensitivities. But giving him choices and some sense of control is key. Here are some tips to consider: Buy sweaters and sweatshirts with loose collars. (If your child prefers his clothes to be close to his skin, do the opposite and get tighter-fitting items or even turtlenecks.) Settle on hoodies instead of a coat. Hooded sweatshirts are a great compromise item because they can be layered over T-shirts and worn unzipped. If your child doesn’t mind warmth or weight, buy some extra-fleecy ones. Remove all tags. That goes for hats, mittens, scarves, sweaters—coats, too. Even if a tag is touching a layer of clothing rather than skin, it can be annoying to some kids.

  • Business Professional Dress Code
    Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

  • MS Dress Code 2021-2022
    Webb School of Knoxville Code of Dress & Appearance Middle School, 2021-2022 The Webb Middle School uniform allows students to dress neatly and comfortably for the activities in which they engage during a normal school day. All students are expected to be in school uniform every day. We hope the student uniform will help diminish the sartorial competition and peer pressure that is frequent among younger adolescents. Webb’s Middle School is a place where students should be confident that they are accepted for their character and personality, not for what they wear. Special Update for 2021-2022: The formerly instituted formal dress uniform requirement for Middle School is suspended for this school year. Please see below for this year’s Code of Dress & Appearance. All uniform shirts must be purchased from the following providers: Educational Outfitters <http://knoxville.educationaloutfitters.com/find-my-school/webb-school-of-knoxville/> Tommy Hilfiger <http://www.globalschoolwear.com> Lands’ End <https://www.landsend.com/shop/school/S-ytp-xe8?cm_re=lec-_-global-_-glbnv-school-_- 20160525-_-txt> Shirts, pants, skorts, skirts, and shorts also must be purchased from Educational Outfitters, Tommy Hilfiger, or Lands' End. Approved items are located on the Hilfiger site under the Middle School menu; Educational Outfitters has a list of all approved Middle School uniform items. When purchasing uniform items, please consider that your child will probably grow during the school year. This is especially important for eighth graders, who sometimes have to purchase new clothing to meet the dress code with only a few months remaining in the Middle School.

    Notes to Introduction 1. See especially the methodology issue of Fashion Theory 2.4 (1988); Stella Bruzzi and Pamela Church Gibson, eds. Fashion Cultures: The01ies, Explorations, and Analysis (London: Routledge, 2000); Fred Davis, Fashion, Culture, and Identity (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1999); Shari Ben stock and Suzanne Ferriss, eds., On Fashion (New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1994); Elizabeth Wilson, Adorned in Dreams: Fashion and Modernity (Berkeley: University of Califor­ nia Press, 1987);Jane Gaines and Charlotte Herzog, eds., Fabrications: Costume and the Female Body (New York: Routledge, 1988). I understand "social bodies" as Elizabeth Grosz uses the term to refer to the body as "the political, social and cultural object par excellence, not a product of a raw, passive nature that is civilized, overlaid, polished by culture." Rather the social body is "a cultural interweaving and production of nature," Volatile Bodies: Toward a Corporeal Feminism (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1994), p. 18. 2. See Tori!
