Style Tips: Do's & Don'ts in the Workplace

Dressing for work can be a challenge. Most of us want to be stylish and professional. Quite often some women don't succeed at neither task. Workplace attire is always contingent on the rules at your place of employment, but there are some rules that apply to all...

1. No cleavage. We do not need to see your "girls". If you're wearing a v-neck or low-cut garment, consider wearing something underneath to divert our attention elsewhere.

2. No short-short skirts. They might look cute, but trust me, the comments people make about the darn thing will be anything but. Stick to just above the knee-length skirts, that way they you don't have to worry about constantly pulling them down when you sit.

3. Avoid anything sheer. Sheer clothing might be sexy but it gives people a birds eye view. If you are going to wear sheer, wear something underneath (i.e. a camisole, slip, etc.) and keep it tasteful.

4. Too much makeup. The clown face is never a good look. If your makeup is rubbing off on you (or someone else), you're wearing too much. And when wearing makeup, find a color that matches your skin tone.

5. No jingling jewelry and excessive bling. We know you have 10 fingers and there is no need to put a ring on every single one. Your earlobes don't need to look like a chorus line of studs either, and your charm bracelets are not charming to everyone. And please save the long car-towing necklaces for the club.

6. No pajamas, sweats or beach wear. Your lounge pants are for lounging, not work. Sweats, I don't think so. And leave the spaghetti straps, flip-flops, and sundresses at home too.
