Clothing Dress

Is it legal to not be given an opportunity to interview based on clothing?Jeans and a dress shirt?
A friend of mine went for his second interview today with Dish Network. Before he was given a chance to be interviewed, the manager started verbally attacking him regarding his choice of attire. He was wearing a dress shirt and pair of nice jeans. The manager did not even give him a chance for the position. He told my friend he would give him a second interview if he comes back wearing a suit. Plus the manager made him wait patiently for the interview for two hours.This does not sound fair to me.Please advise.Thanks!
Your question is it legal. Yes. There is no law that says any employer must give an interview. And if dress is a criteria for them then they need not give the interview. As to fair. Well, the suit or at least a nice pair of slacks would have made a better impression. If formal business attire is expected it should have been stated in the advertising or at the first interview. But legal, yes.
Edit: I will point out that at my current job manufacturing hydraulic equipment, I knew full well that it would be a dirty messy job. ( Hydraulic oil, machinery). But for my interview I showed up wearing nice slacks, a pressed shirt and a tie. I doubt anyone there has worn a tie to work in the last 20yr. But the first impression is important. A guy who knows he will be doing hot, dirty manual labor but dresses well for the interview is showing an interest in THAT job as opposed to "just" a job. I did wear my steel toed boots however as I knew they were a requirement for the job. Even the office workers have steel toes.
There are many events that encourage people to participate in fancy dress competition. Schools organize different types of programs and events. Fancy dress competition is getting more popular. Children love to participate in such kind of events. They look cute and sweet in fancy dresses.
Parents need to keep in mind one important thing while preparing their kids for fancy dress competition. Children need to rehearse properly so that they can walk without any hesitation wearing fancy dresses. Not everyone can win the competition. It is better not to goad the child into winning. Parents and teachers need to make it sure that the children are uttering the dialogues in the right way. Body language is also important. They need to be confident while walking the stage wearing colorful dresses. Comfort factor should be considered while preparing your kid for fancy dress competition. You need to make it sure that your child is feeling comfortable in the dress you have selected for him/her. While choosing the clothing, layers and props, you need to keep this thing in mind.
Older kids are quite enthusiastic about fancy dress competitions. They show eagerness in participating in such kind of contests. But toddlers feel little uncomfortable in fancy dresses. You can make them feel comfortable in many ways. You can show them some pictures of the participants wearing fancy costumes. Theme based fancy costumes are also gaining much popularity. There are several fancy dress themes (including sports, animals, tradition and ecology) to choose from.
You need to do some research on the subject. It will help you to prepare your kid with appropriate dialogues. Animal themes are quite interesting and exciting. You can select the "Dalamation" dog theme for this kind of event. You only need to organize a white full pant and a white T shirt. A string can be used as a short tail. You can also opt for the caps that are designed with hanging cotton ears. Black fabric color can be used to paint the uneven spots all over the costumes.
You could also give Harry Potter look to your child. You need to arrange spectacles, cloak stitched, a wooden wand painted in black. Dialogues and verses can be plenty with expressions and chants. Dress your kids as a 'Baker' with the cookies in a tray and chef hat. You can also make a cardboard tree and give the message on 'save the environment' and 'nit to cut trees'. Another great idea is to do face painting, flare skirt, beads-necklaces and dress the kid as a 'Red Indian'.
Most of the children love participating in fancy dress competitions. They feel excited and enthralled watching others dress in colorful costumes and perform on the stage. You need to encourage them. Lots of clapping and cheering is the best way to increase their confidence level. There are many fancy dress costume ideas. You can select one that is suitable for your child. You can also scroll through the net to get more fancy dress ideas.
However first and foremost you need to find a reliable store that has a huge collection of fancy accessories and dresses for all ages. They are designed with great styles and colors. You can make the party special by wearing these costumes. From Halloween costumes, Christmas costumes to other seasonal costumes, you can get everything in such stores.
