Rivas filed a harassment complaint with her company's HR department. Her boss then sent out a memo that stated a new dress code that bans " [visible bra] straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, back out, lace, and even...cultural head wraps."

She's is not the first woman of color to be targeted for a hairstyle, either. For instance, one Zara employee posted about her experience after two managers told her to take out her braid and "fix" her hair into a straightened up-do. And a waitress in Toronto was sent home because she kept her hair in a tight bun when working.

We thought Rivas looked great in a suit, but we're seriously digging all these dress code-approved looks.
