In my cubicle farm, the only prohibition I know of, clothing wise, is
shorts. Which isn't always observed.
Dresses and skirts are somewhat rare I guess, but feminine clothing is
not. I wouldn't say most wear drab jeans and t-shirts.
Furthermore, non-ear piercings, fluorescent colors of hair dye and
tattooing tantamount to murals are also perfectly acceptable.
Also, people flirt, not to mention sleep with each other, gossip about
it, and so on.
So no, I don't observe anything like your blather. I think the world
you're writing about is as fictional as Orwell's 1984.
