Too Much Skin: 10 Taboos for Office Attire

By Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor

Skin. Everyone has it. And one glance at TV, movies and magazines reveals how much people love to flash it.

It's true that showing some skin on TV may help the ratings, but baring too much in the office says, "I'm inexperienced, unprofessional and hoping people will not notice I have no real skills for this job."

Once you get the reputation as a sultry dresser, it may be difficult to shake that image and ever be taken seriously by your colleagues.

If you don't want to put your image or career on the line, avoid these office attire don'ts:

Plunging Necklines. Some of the lawyers on TV can't seem to get through a case without them. Your office, however, is not trying to garner audience ratings. So button up or wear a tank or camisole under that shirt to conceal the cleavage.

Low-rise Pants. Outside the office, you probably can't be seen without them. But at work, it's best to cover your behind.

Mini and Micro-Mini Skirts. This cutesy little item may be a staple in a Britney Spears video, but at ABC Accounting, Inc., it may go too far in illustrating your bottom line.

Belly Shirts. Everyone is glad you use your ab-cruncher religiously, but the office is not the place to put all your hard work on display. Leave it for the gym, beach or nightclub.

Men's Chest Hair. Exposing excess chest hair went out of style with leisure suits. Men, you may want to button your shirt an extra button before your clients begin expecting you to ask them what their sign is.

See-Through Shirts. If you want people to pay attention to what they can learn from your presentation instead of what they see through your shirt, wear a suit coat, t-shirt or camisole underneath sheerer fabrics.

Shorts. Shorts are rarely appropriate in the workplace. It's true, some styles of women's suits have included a longer short. But as a rule, shorts don't cut it in a professional setting.

Open-Back Tops and Dresses. These may work in the ballroom, but not in the conference room. Slip on a sweater or jacket and go from overexposed to professionally composed.

Flip-flops. These are appropriate for vacations and lounging, not daily office tasks. If you have problems with your feet, try clogs or even open-toed shoes.

Skimpy, Strappy Camisole Tops. Yes, you can wear these barely-there pieces... with the help of a blouse, sweater or jacket worn over them. See "Plunging Necklines."

Thanks. I really don't have that many clothes...just moved left some at home blah blah, so I'm gonna have to work my wardrobe here. I will def. not show too much skin...I'm not interviewing to be a hooker!

I work nights. I normally don't get off for another hour, but I worked a half day and went to a hockey game.

You'll do good. Nobody can do what you've done the last few years without being confident. Just relax, and you'll kick butt.

I am wishing you good luck. I am sure you will do fine.

I have interviewed and hired for 30 years at an Insurance company and I go alot bt gut feelings on the applicant. What I looked for was timeliness, application completed and no glaring errors, eager for the job, team player, I completely understand nerves and took that into consideration. A friendly attitude goes a long way. Good luck!

[DENISE517]

Ok...here is the question they always seem to ask...

What are your best qualities.... What are your worst.

[Thorsmomma]

Thanks thanks thanks!

I'm dreading those questions...hopefully I can pull it off. I just have to remember it's not the end of the world!

Off in a few hours!

[KELLY353]

This may sounds stupid-

But I was always told during the interview if you have your legs crossed, you should cross your legs the opposite direction of the door. If you have them crossed towards the door- it looks like you are ready to leave......
It kind of made since to me!
Good Luck!

[yorkieusa]

Lots of luck. Just remember - no nervous giggling!

[simonandhallie]

OMG I can't believe I missed this, I've been teaching all day! I am sending good luck your way, you can do it! I can't wait to hear all about it!

[veguroev]

How did the interview go?

[YorkyMommy]

Any details yet??

[Tiggerwit]

yeah, any updates? How'd it go?

[Thorsmomma]

The interview went okay. I was totally nervous, and was interviewed by THREE people!!!

I didn't get the job.

Their loss. Kinda feeling rejected but, they wanted me to get Botox and other laser treatments too, so screw them.

The search continues. It was a brilliant experience though, so my head is still up!

Thanks to everyone for their advice!
