Most companies have a dress code in their HR policy. The joining or appointment letters to employees have clauses to adhere to this policy.
Like say, bathroom slippers, torn jeans, round neck t-shirts, ethnic outfits, skirts above knees are clearly mentioned as a reason for the security personnel so as not to allow such dressed individuals entry into office premises (unless for officially sanctioned skits or fancy dress or fashion themes).
An HR 'all employees' e-mail can be sent quoting the HR policy. This generally seems to works in dissuading some employees who are 'testing the waters'

Dear Kamal,
Do you have a dress code policy implemented in your organization ? Is it functional and shared on the intranet and employee handbook ? Under any circumstance , before taking an action on an employee on the basis of a dress code, please make sure that there was enough effort made to make sure the employee is aware of the policy .
Incase there is no dress code policy implemented so far, please write and implement it as early as possible . This will help you to maintain a professional environment within the company .
Do keep following facts in mind:
1.Inculde the basic formal outfit from Monday to thursday and Informal for Friday. Maintain minimalist view and avoid including any hard guideline.
2.Do mention the do's and don't
3.Try to keep a liberal view with professionalism in sight . If this is the first time you are trying to implement it , go slow . Make employees a partner in this process and invlove them with suggestions and implementation.
4.Finally do get the Management team 's buy out with your idea
Wish you all the best . You are doing this for the betterment of the company to maintain morale and professionalism.

My friend,
I appreciate the fact that other HR Professionals have recommended that you come forward with a well structured dress code in your company.
Keeping this in mind, you need to also mention the area of activity you are in. If it involves glamour and sex appeal (for example casino / resorts) like in Vegas, then it is the industry norm that the attire and grooming is glamorous/sexy but not vulgar.
Also, bear in mind that your company culture will influence the dress code of your employees a lot. Asking them to wear suit and ties from Monday to Thursday and have them to come in in jeans and polo shirt on Fridays only to stay up at work until very late at night may not prove useful at all. It will be at most, a "cosmetic" gimmick that you would have brought to your organisation.

wearing short skirts in corporte world is not at all relevant because of this culture in org.we girls face lot of cases of sexual harassment and than we blame other factors.so it should not be applicable in corporate world.

I think there has to be some dress code for the company itself. And it has to be implemented with some strong conditions. Reason for this is that each & every employee is reflecting the Brand of the company, so i think it must not be jeans & tops.
