Can I wear this to work?

Many offices offer the benefit of summer dress codes to their employees but not everyone understands the appropriate transition between work attire and modified work attire. It can get really hot out there and even the most professional of us has from time to time made a not-so-professional clothing choice in the workplace. This can really effect how bosses, coworkers and clients view you. Like it or not, how we dress for work makes an impression that can enhance or diminish careers.
  • First things first - check your company’s dress code for the rules of what’s acceptable
  • When in doubt, dress on the conservative side. If you have to think twice, you probably shouldn’t wear it
  • Flip-flops and sandals are two different things. Flip-flops that you wear to the beach are usually not meant for the office
  • Never, ever under any circumstances, unless it’s a required uniform, wear a tube top to work
  • If your dress is shear, wear something under it
  • Even if shorts are ok, short shorts are never ok
  • If you do wear open toe shoes/sandals, make sure your feet are clean
  • It is unnatural to see the belly button of your coworker so save the half shirts for the beach
  • Similarly, anything backless should never be worn to the office or meetings
  • Tanks and sleeveless tops can easily go from work to play but pay attention to the fit - anything too tight, too baggy, or too revealing are not meant for work
