When a heatwave hits Britain,Secret Tutoring (2018) choosing an office-appropriate outfit that doesn't make you sweat buckets is a huge predicament. When one call centre worker was sent home for wearing shorts to work, he hit back in an act of brave defiance.
SEE ALSO: I'm a guy and I will wear shorts to work until the day I die, don't @ me20-year-old Joey Barge from Buckinghamshire, UK, got into trouble at work after wearing shorts in the office during this week's heatwave.
He posted a photo of his navy shorts, asking his Twitter followers: "If women can wear skirts/dresses at work can I wear smart shorts like so?"

Moments later, Barge posted an important update, stating he'd just been sent home from work.
"I got sent home and told to change into appropriate clothing but it said females could wear dresses so hey ho!" Barge told the Mail Online.
Outraged at the injustice of not being allowed to wear shorts in the workplace, Barge fought back. He donned a dress, which was in line with his employer's workplace attire policy for female employees.

But, it looks like his employers took heed of his protest.
"They said it was a bit too colourful and asked if I wanted to go home and change because they were letting us wear shorts because of my 'protest' -- but I said I was happy to stay," Barge continued.

Could change be on the horizon for the much-maligned shorts-wearers of the working world? Let's hope so.
