The last few sentences are as follows and I have added by own emphasis in bold on the very last sentence.
"But with so much emphasis on expressing yourself through the clothes you wear, and formal dress codes crumbling all around us, surely we are finally free, in the West at least, to wear what we like?
Robson is not so sure.
"Sometimes with relaxed standards, there then comes an ability for employers to have more bias and to say that someone doesn't look professional or doesn't look right," she says.

The only answer, she suggests, is to have no rules at all."
