Wearing underwear, using deodorant and covering wounds are definitely “in” for employees of Brooksville, Fla., but tattoos, halter tops and abdomen-revealing clothing are definitely “out” under a new city dress code.

Workers in the city about 50 miles north of Tampa, Fla., also are not permitted to have body piercings anywhere other than in their ears, according to news reports.

The city council recently approved the code on a 4-1 vote. The lone dissenter was Mayor Joe Bernardini, who pointed out possible enforcement challenges.

“They said you had to wear undergarments,” news reports quoted Mayor Bernardini as saying. “Who's staring to see if that person doesn't have underwear on?”

Multiple violations of the policy that bans “distracting, offensive or revealing” clothing, which also includes Spandex, could result in termination.

City Manager Jennene Norman-Vacha said the code, which is part of Brooksville's revamp of its personnel policies, “is there if something becomes an issue or problem. Then we want to be able to address it.”
