Work Appropriate

Work appropriate used to be easy to determine but now that work places have relaxed there dress codes, determining work appropriate attire has become a bit more gray. Here a few definitive rules you should follow when dressing for a professional environment:

1. Anything that you would wear to the beach or gym is a no-no. Refrain from flip-flops, spaghetti straps, sports bras etc. You can layer a jacket, cardigan, or blazer over a spaghetti strap top or dress but please be advised you should NOT take it off at the office.

2. Don’t show cleavage. There are really no if’s, and’s, or but’s about it. You can wear a v-neck but it should not be deep.

3. Super short skirts should be avoided. A general rule of thumb is 3″ above the knee.

4. Anything sheer should be layered with a slip, cami, or leggings underneath.

5. While you want to be stylish, you want to avoid extremes and over-accessorizing. Pick one statement piece and let everything else be subtle.
