No shorts allowed on dress down day

There's a dress down day at my work place this week, but it's not too dress down as the wearing of shorts is forbidden, despite the warm weather. A couple of strange things come to mind.

1.Dress shorts can be smarter looking than a pair of scruffy jeans.
2. Women are allowed to wear short skirts on any day, but on this one day they won't be allowed to wear a pair of shorts, which could be longer and more modest than a skirt!
