1. Her underwear/bra strap is
showing.
Even something as seemingly
innocent as a camisole peeking
out from an open blouse can
read as inappropriate in an
office environment, especially if
it has little spaghetti straps or
lace detailing that make it look
especially like lingerie.
Fix: Cover it up!
Look at yourself in the mirror.
Turn around. Stretch. Reach.
Bend over. If at any point your
bra strap pops out or you catch a
glimpse of your shapewear
peeking below the hem of your
skirt, it's probably a good idea to
change. Even if the exposed
undergarment in question
isn't sexy, the fact that it's
visible makes you look sloppy
and that's not the impression you
want to give to a potential
employer.
2. Her shirt/skirt/dress/whatever is
see-through.
Depending on the office you
work in, even wearing a sheer
blouse over a neutral bra or
camisole can end up looking
inappropriate. The fact is, even a
little bit of transparency can be a
distraction and you never want
your clothes to be a distraction.
Fix: Stick to sturdy fabrics and
knits, and stay away from
anything flimsy.
And make sure any under layers
you wear are smooth so they
don't cause awkward ripples and
bumps in your clothing.
3. You're trying to do a whole day-
to-night thing.
When you are at work, you
should dress for work. Period.
Dressing for whatever you have
going on outside the office just
gives the impression that work is
not your number-one priority,
and that is only going to hurt you
in a highly competitive job
market.
Fix: Save the day-to-night stuff
for after you actually have a job.
Push that dinner reservation of
yours to 9:00 so you have time to
go home and get dressed after
work. And don't even think
about bringing a change of
clothes to the office and getting
dressed in the bathroom.
4. Her hair is wet and it's not
even raining outside.
How do you expect your boss to
trust you to complete important
tasks when you can't even
manage to wake up in time to
wash and blow-dry your own
hair?
Fix: Either wash it the night
before, or put in some dry
shampoo and give yourself an
up-do.
No one cares if your alarm didn't
go off or if you were up all night
comforting your roommate. It's
up to you to manage your own
time outside of the office.
5. You can't bend over without
flashing the person standing behind
you.
If you feel the need to hold your
skirt against your butt before
bending over to pick up a
dropped pen, then it is really too
short.
Fix: Wear a longer skirt or just
wear pants.
That is all.
6. Her high heels are slowing her
down .
It doesn't matter how
professional your pumps look, if
you can't haul ass when the time
comes, then they are not
appropriate.
Fix: Stick to shoes you can run
across the room in.
For some people, this means
wearing flats. For other people, it
might mean wearing a heel that
is just a little bit thicker than
normal or putting a rubber tread
on the bottom of an otherwise
slick shoe. Whatever you need to
do to stay mobile, just do it,
because if your boss sees you
walking when they think you
should be running, they will
think you do not share their
sense of urgency, which could
really hurt your chances of
getting hired if/when the time
comes.
7. Her makeup could only be
considered professional if she is
performing in a drag show.
Wearing a lot of heavy makeup
is distracting to those around you
and can make you look high-
maintenance, which is not an
attractive quality to employers.
Fix: Less is more.
Office makeup should be
minimal, natural, and polished.
Even if you are wearing a lot of
makeup, it shouldn't look like it.
Save the heavy stuff for the
weekend.
8. The smaller the straps, the
smaller your chances of being taken
seriously.
It should go without saying then
that strapless tops and dresses
are completely inappropriate.
Fix: Just make it easy on yourself
and wear sleeves.
You can also try layering a jacket
or sweater over your strappy top
or dress, but keep in mind that
you will not be able to take that
top layer off if you start to
overheat. 1 Like |
