President Trump has allegedly enforced a dress code upon female members of staff in the White House, insisting that they need to ‘dress like women’.
A source, who worked on Trump’s campaign, also stated that the President places an exacting emphasis on appearance of his staff and insists that they ‘look the part’.
The source also suggested that most women feel pressure to wear dresses in order to impress him and commented that even if women deign to wear jeans, ‘you need to look neat and orderly’.
Trump also reportedly pays close attention to men’s ties. A source who has worked with him suggested that ‘If it’s not a Trump tie, you can get away with Brooks Brothers’ or Armani.

However, it is the sexist implications behind the female dress code that have caused uproar. In a week that saw discriminatory dress codes at the forefront of debate in the UK (who could forget Piers Morgan teetering into the Loose Women studio in silver heels), the issue has gained worldwide traction via Twitter.
In response to Trump’s alleged dress code, thousands have taken to the social media platform to tweet images of women in the workplace, alongside the hashtag #DressLikeAWoman
Both famous figures and civilians have gained exposure, from Hilary Clinton and Serena Williams to doctors in scrubs and soldiers in uniform.
Here are some of the tweets:
