Fashion Tips ;Avoid Making Office Fashion Mistakes.


While office fashion has become more casual over the last few years, an office is still a place where employers would like to see professional dress. This doesn't mean you have to forgo style and wear only dowdy clothing. It simply means some fashion judgment should be used when you work in a professional setting Here are some office fashions that should probably be kept as far from the office as possible.
Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

  1. 1
    Office fashion mistake: Excessive jewelry.

    Multiple pieces of large jewelry tend to be overwhelming in an office setting. Make a particular effort to avoid multiple, large bracelets that jangle when you move your arms. Save these for your evening office party.
  2. 2
    Office fashion mistake: Sneakers.

    Yes, they're comfortable but they're designed more for the country club than they are the office setting. Trade in the sneakers for a comfortable pair of soft flat shoes if you want your feet to feel good at the end of the day.
  3. 3
    Office fashion mistake: Wearing a halter or tank top.

    Halter and tank tops tend to be too casual for an office setting. A tank top may be acceptable if worn beneath a dark blazer. Otherwise leave the tanks and halter tops for your next trip to the beach.
  4. 4
    Office fashion mistake: Showing too much.

    The office is not the place to wear the new bustier you just bought at Fredericks of Hollywood. Yes, you may get a few stares but they won't necessarily be complimentary. Save your revealing clothing for a night out on the town.
  5. 5
    Office fashion mistake: Wearing a printed t-shirt or sweatshirt.

    A printed t-shirt or sweatshirt is too casual for most office settings. In addition, you run the risk of offending other workers if the message is controversial. It seems unlikely your boss will be impressed by a t-shirt sporting a message such as "I have an attitude problem". This is not the quickest way to get on the fast track for a promotion. If you must wear a t-shirt, make sure it's not printed and you're wearing a professional looking blazer over it.
  6. 6
    Office fashion mistake: Wearing a miniskirt.

    Miniskirts are cute and flirty, but mostly on people under the age of twenty. While it may be acceptable for an older women to wear a miniskirt in the evening or to a special event, an office is not the place for super short skirts. Even if you look great in a short skirt, you're sending the wrong message to your boss and to your co-workers. Why not wear a skirt that stops a little above the knee? Chances are you'll still feel fashionable and will look more professional
