"They need to be trained to dress properly and to give people a good impression of their appearance. If we do not have a good appearance, who will listen to us or respect us?" ~ WL.

I believe the current dress standards in the training do not match the intended reason for the dress standards which is to enable the truth to be spoken with less distraction.

Most of the gospel work occurs on the campuses and is business attire the most appropriate? I would say not. A more casual dress style may be appropriate.

Also, in business people are dressing more and more casually. Mark Zuckerberg and others really set a trend. I think the training centres will need to re-evaluate their dress standards at some point in order to remain relevant.
