Domination of Equestria - T+36 days.
“Come now my Darling, don’t tell me you don’t like it. It would brighten up your day every time you spotted one, and there would be plenty around.”
“While that might be true Luna my dear, you have to consider everyone else at the same time.”
“Owww, why should we? You’re the Supreme Overlord of The Equestrian Dominion. You can have whatever you want.”
“That might be true, but that doesn’t mean I should. It’s barely been a month since the regime change, and while you’ve been absolutely invaluable in making that transition as smooth as possible it wouldn’t do to antagonise the staff and the peasantry like that.”
“Oh, go on, doesn’t it look good on me?”
“It looks wonderful on you, it’s taking some effort not to jump you right now. But honestly, that’s a very good reason not to implement it as mandatory. I can’t be losing it in the middle of court or an important meeting. And what of the effects on the other male staff? It could actually negatively affect morale in the long run.”
“Oh come now, how on earth could such a skimpy little thing as a mandatory thong be bad for morale? It accentuates the flank, and the straps draw attention to the teats in a very alluring way.”
“That’s precisely why it’s a bad idea Luna. This discussion is over, I won’t budge on the matter.”
“Owww, that’s mean. Not even if I wear this lovely little leather number?”
“No, not even then. But if you wear it anyway I’m sure I can compensate you, in other ways.
“Oh my, Darling. How daring of you. Guards! Court is now closed, clear the petitioners. Me and the Supreme Overlord have some special business to discuss alone in the throne room. Ensure we aren't disturbed. It could take all afternoon."
Overlord Rule No:33 I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions.
Okay, this was absolutely hilarious.
Remember to favor practicality over personal preferences.

Can someone explain that rule to me, and that chapter? I don't really get it.
6501143 I shall be of assistance!
Essentially this story is alluring to Rule of X, a TV trope based on the suspension of disbelief is equivalent or proportional to the amount of X thing/factor that it adds to the story. In this case it would be the rule of sexy.
For instance, many fictional military bodies employ completely impractical and demeaning uniforms whose only reason for being designed that way seems to be "because it makes them look sexier".
In other words, there is many reasons to not implement those uniforms; but at least one good reason to do so.

6501143 if i understand right
its making an allusion to the fact that in movies or games,evil female guards are always under-dress or are dressed in sexual clothes.
like running around with a metallic bikini instead of a real armor or fighting with a sadomasochist suit full of leather straps.
instead of a good armor made for combat and not...well...sex.
Luna wanted to put some sexy outfits on herself and the female guards
but the overlord didn't want it because the male guard would be distract and it would be inconvenient in combat.
The distractions and the clothing themselves
6501176 Plus it would be such a tease for most of the guard, it's not like if you dress a woman up she is gonna offer anything...
I know I would rather not have my forces be THAT pent up.
Yeah....formal. Sure.
"I's rather not have holes in my security because the guards were beating off in a closet somewhere."

Though it implies Luna wants a...party with her hubby.
