Along that line of thinking, shouldn't dresses and skirts that don't go
down to the ankle be considered saftey hazards as they leave the legs
exposed and nylons should be banned because they would tend to hold
materials in contact with the the skin?  Long, flowing skirts and dresses
are a problem too, as they can catch on things as you walk by.  If jeans
can't be worn in the lab, this leaves only scrubbs or dress pants.

Seems to me uniforms would be the way to go.  But do uniforms make you
look professional?

Just curious.
