Let's not forget many businesses have a dress code that doesn't allow for shorts and sandals or any summer comfortable clothing for men. The dress code for women is normally conducive to hot weather. Sometimes I feel sorry for upper management in wool suits in 90 degree weather, and then I remember how much they’re paid.

Why don’t we talk about that? It should be a part of the discussion. If we’re all allowed to wear lighter clothing in summer would that raise the temperature in offices??

It's easier to get warm if you're cool than to cool off if you're warm.
