The only "dress code" that I would prefer is that the hosts should wear clothing sold on QVC with that info prominently displayed.  It might cut down on the endless "do you know what the host is wearing" posts that appear here.

they are starting to do this, why it has taken so long is beyond me

I find it interesting when they say that the prices are better at QVC for whatever they are selling.  I do very well shopping by color and style elsewhere at much much lower prices. 

I do wonder if a $59 top is better made than one I can get for $14,99,

No, QVC hosts should not have a dress code.  They are all adults and should know how to dress.

Sometimes what they wear does not do them any justice, but it is none of my business.

We, as customers and QVC as employers should not  be able to have control over some things.

What's the matter with jeans anyway?  They're now considered professional attire in many places.

I don't watch enough to notice.

I think that some of the hosts need some guidance. I don't watch any longer, though I often tune in to HSN because they seem to have retained some professionalism. It's also the reason I like to shop at Marshall Fields, Saks or Lord and Taylor. If QVC wants to charge those price points they need to walk the walk and talk the talk. A sales team that has hair that is dirty looking and hanging in their eyes, looking disheveled and like they just climbed out of bed is not going to gain my confidence to buy expensive diamonds, gold or handbags. I want to buy those things from Kathy Levine, she presents herself well and exudes class, confidence and pride of her profession.

I am with Burnsite, I live in jeans.  That said, I do not watch to see what a host is wearing.  They are salespeople not lawyers or CEO's.  They have to be able to change quickly since they have to try everything they sell on. It doesn't bother me at all. You must live in the past when everyone dressed up. 3/4 of the people who go to church today wear jeans.

A dress code for hosts would be fine but the thought of a dress code for one's neighborhood takes it too far.  It was suggested on the Nextdoor app.  The person was serious.  He thought it would make property values "skyrocket over the next 12 - 19 months" and wanted to discuss the idea with neighbors on Zoom.

I live in jeans now too, but I am not selling to the public.

Just got a message from Lord and Taylor, they are closing stores.

That is hilarious! I mean, it's not, but it is!

I think it depends upon the jean.
