I guess every preacher and congregation must make their own decision as to whether or not to run off people over standards that are not even in the Bible, such as men must wear a suit in tie in church, women are not allowed to wear slacks, etc.
The very few mentions of dress codes in the Bible may be cultural things that are not a requirement for today - such as, women to wear veils in church, 1 Corinthians 11, or "Let thy garments be always white," Ecclesiastes 9:9.
Personally, I think the loosening of the standards about suits and ties, and woman's slacks, is appropriate for our day and age, but I don't advocate taking things too far with our Christian liberty and becoming irreverent with our dress.
