They are not mutually exclusive.
Yes they are. If a finite percentage of your evaluation is based on how you dress, then it is a logical necessity for other things to count for less. I have worked for a business that required ties. I have also worked for companies that required slacks and collared shirts. I currently work for a company that is fine with shorts, sandals and tank tops. The tie company was a defense contractor, that sucked up lots of tax dollars, but never delivered a working product. The collared shirt and slacks company had lots of time wasting meetings, and was always six months to a year behind schedule. The shorts and sandals company ships code daily and has lots of happy customers, who also tend to wear shorts and sandals.
