I was dress-coded for wearing a tracksuit to go and grab a coffee – I was fuming as my joggers cost me £2K | The Sun

WHETHER it's popping down to the local store or grabbing a coffee, sporting comfortable clothes should be your top priority when running errands.

But one woman was left infuriated after she was dress-coded for wearing a tracksuit set which cost her a fortune.


Cori Scherer (@coriascherer), from Texas, the US, took to TikTok where she explained what had happened just moments before.

According to Cori, who works as a mortgage lender, she had popped down to one of the more nice hotels in the local area.

Her plan for the day was to get in the festive mood and admire all the Christmas decorations whilst sipping on a hot beverage.

But much to her surprise, the joys didn't last long, as a member of the team had approached Cori to tell her she was not wearing appropriate clothing.

''Ma'am, this is an Aritzia sweatsuit, please,'' the woman hit back after being dress-coded.

''lady we’re just trying to grab a latte and politely sit at the bar,'' she went on in the comments under the now-viral video.

But whilst Cori may have been convinced she was in the right, the £2,000 tracksuit set caused quite the debate online.

Some reckoned this was outrageous, others – that she should've known better.

Recently, many people have come forward with their dress-coding stories – one woman claimed her workplace attire led to disciplinary action at the office.

She attributed the complaint to her curves as her outfit did not exactly bare it all.

Marie Dee is a digital content creator and serial dress code violator.

Her TikTok has garnered over 197,000 followers under the handle @notmariedee.

She took to the social media platform to share her latest run-in with human resources at her office job.

"Update," she wrote over a video of herself. "HR girl wrote a note that this outfit was 'pushing it' on the weekly report."

She wore a snake-print short-sleeved turtleneck top with a pair of black slacks.

"I'm covered head to toe tho," she added in the caption.

Viewers shared their two cents in the comment section of the viral video.

Many people suggested that Dee's curvaceous figure is what offended HR, not necessarily the outfit.

"The way people think that having curves is unprofessional is so frustrating," one wrote.

"Are we supposed to get reductions for work like ????" another added.

"Used to get dress codes weekly at school because I’m big-chested," a third commented. "Other girls would wear the same stuff and no one would bat an eye."

Others said that the HR manager is clearly operating out of jealousy towards Dee and her enviable physique.
