Top ten office wardrobe Malfunctions
1. Women who deem it appropriate to have their breasts on display in the office. It might be fine at home or at a nightclub, but in the office, they need to be contained.
2. Muffin tops. Exposing a cheeky bit of midriff flesh is simply unprofessional.
- Jangly bling. If your banging bangles distract people from their work, it’s time for a re-think.
- Clothes that are too tight. This one’s for both genders. Everyone puts on a little weight from time to time. If you’re carrying a few more kegs since you last went shopping for work attire, maybe it’s time to re-invest.
- Bandaid skirts. If you have to pull your skirt down when you sit down, your skirt’s too short. Fine at a cocktail bar, completely inappropriate at the office.
- Thongs (footwear). Closed-toe shoes are the most suitable office footwear. Save your strappy sandals for the beach.
- Shoes you cannot walk in- not suitable for the office stick to mid-height heels. Thigh-high leather boots also fit in the ‘shoes that should not set foot inside an office’ category. As do Crocs and Uggs.
- Leggings. Also ‘jeggings’ (combination jeans and leggings). Leggings are for the gym, not for the office.
- Jeans. Look, I know many workplaces allow jeans, especially creative businesses. And they might be OK if you’re not meeting clients. But surely it’s hard to get into a work mindset if you’re slouching around in jeans? And what happens if you have to unexpectedly go to a meeting?
- Playsuits. It’s hard to take someone seriously if they are in a playsuit – the name says it all regardless of how fashionable they may be.
Ultimately, what you wear in your workplace sends a message about the type of person you are at work. If you keep a neat, clean appearance, people will trust you to do your job, and will give you responsibility. No-one ever got a promotion to a senior role in a playsuit.
