Sexy clothes at work, pros and cons

What should you wear at work? Even if there's no dress code or it says you can wear casual style, it's still a big question what you can wear and what you should avoid. Even though these days we propagate free mind and the right to be individual, you know there are certain limits in office clothing that you shouldn't cross. If you represent a serious company, your clothing should be appropriate. What about sexual dress at work? If you want to express your femininity (or manliness of course) in your style, should you stop or should you go?

Sexy clothes attract an attention. Aren't they made for this? If you walk in your workplace in miniskirt and bold décolleté blouse, you will definitely be in the center of attention. Most of people like to hear compliments and revealing cleavage can surely bring you praises but sometimes you can put yourself in ambiguous position by dressing up provocatively. However you should know your rights: no matter how you dress, it's not a reason for sexual harassment. It's important to take care of your appearance, especially if you need to communicate with customers a lot. While you are at work, you should represent the ideas of your working place, not your own standpoint.

However we are not machines and we want to be individual. No company forbids sexual clothes as long as your appearance doesn't disturb your co-workers and customers. You can express your sexuality without wearing provocative clothing. Subtle accessories and outfit that highlights advantages of your figure can gain you more compliments than unfastened shirt or spike heels. As long as you keep your style balanced between too much and too boring, you will be successful.

Of course you shouldn't be judged by your dress style, but it's not how it works in the real world. According to several surveys, if people don't dress properly for job, others assume that they don't take their responsibilities seriously. These results might be a little overstated, but there is other common opinion among office workers. If one dresses too provocatively, it can be a sign that he or she is looking for someone to date. And this behavior is often considered improper for business environment. Even though a girl or boy who dresses and acts sexy is often considered to be promoted easily, the real life shows that it's the other way around. If you don't look like you are professional, people won't take you as a professional. You might be the most beautiful person...

Author: Vylune P Summary In every job there is a dress code where employee should stick to. But in these days we encourage the free mind thinking and dress ourselves the way we think who we are as an individual. Though there are limits in office clothing which you shouldn’t cross. The limits in dressing a certain way within a serious company are found between too boring and too sexy. When you dress too boring people or customers don’t like to have you as their advisor or even assume you look neglected. But when you dress up too defiant others may assume you don’t take your responsibilities seriously.  With dressing up too sexy it could be possible you disturb your co-workers and customers. If you want to express your good looks you can choose some other way of dressing up like the use of jewelry.   Evaluation I think this article was fun to read. When I get up in the morning and get ready for my internship I always have a slightest problem with choosing the right clothes to wear at a MBO.  I think this article (maybe it doesn’t really add something directly to my internship) is important for people to read, because many of the people in these days are used to the free way of thinking and expressing themselves as they are as an individual which means they forget the limits in clothing style their job has. I think this article, especially due to the examples and visual additions, makes me more aware of what to wear and what not to wear and what kind of portrait you create of yourself when you dress up overly.
