Dress codes

My wife came home from work tonight, quite annoyed with her boss.  Apparently today he decided to tell her that he felt that she was not dressing appropriately for work.  That was based on the observation that she was wearing knee length cargo shorts, whereas the other women at work were wearing capri pants.  My wife thinks that capri shorts look stupid, and I agree.  They DO look stupid!  But the dress code DOES say no shorts allowed, and apparatenly capris are not technically shorts.  So, what’s a lady to do?  I guess she’ll be buying some capris!
