Are piercings appropriate?
Learn why piercings are usually unacceptable in the workplace.
*Some jobs allow you to wear tennis shoes, but don't do this until after you've gotten the job.
You have officially been notified that leggings (alone) should never be worn to work without appropriate covering. Adding only a sweater or shirt that stops above or at the waist is not an appropriate outfit for work. Some legging material is too thin, see-through and tight. If you’re not careful everything that you think is covered is now for public view (What an embarrassing sight that would be, right?). Remember, sometimes your definition of casual is not the same casual in the workplace, so always double-check casual attire policy.
If you find yourself laughing at this picture, I hope it is because you realize that this is not appropriate attire for work. Your sleep wear is NEVER, I mean NEVER allowed in the workplace. If for some reason you are still sleepy and feel the need to not prepare yourself (get dressed for work) please do yourself and supervisor a favor and stay home. That will save you a lecture and your reputation. This rule still applies even if you are off work and need to make a quick run to the office. Always be decently and professionally dressed. You never know who you will see or who will see you.
WHOA! Wait a minute, what is wrong with this picture? Have you heard the saying that goes: “There is a time and place for everything?” “Sexy,” tight and revealing clothing are one of those that fall into this category. This type of clothing should NEVER be worn to work. Imagine what would happen if those papers accidentally dropped off the printer and she had to bend over. Lets be honest, not a sight that should be shared with the public. Your attire says a lot about you and in this stereotypical world, you can be labeled even if it is unintentional. Let’s always be mindful of length, style and fabric thickness when wearing dresses or skirts.
I know you may have your style preference that shows off your bold creativity. But, be cautious of going "overboard" at work, like the image below. This hairstyle would cause focus to shift towards your hair and sadly not you. Appropriate and inappropriate hair policies may vary. Some companies may encourage your own creative hair expression, but for the meantime, especially for a first meet and greet (interview), or hosting a big team meeting, play it safe, and professional.
