Tyreshia Morgan went viral on TikTok this summer because of her fashion choices for a job interview. In the August heat, she wore a pair of shorts—which turned out to be a big mistake. Upon seeing her outfit, the recruiter asked for her to reschedule the interview and come back in different clothes. Morgan refused.
The video of Morgan describing the incident and showing the outfit she wore—black shorts, a white top, and cardigan—has racked up more than 6.2 million views and 144,000 likes so far. It also kicked off a debate about how to dress for work these days, bringing in more than 30,000 comments that held a wide range of fashion beliefs. “Shorts aren’t even allowed in the office let alone on an interview” one commenter wrote. But another countered that there was “nothing wrong with this in warm weather.”
