If You're Wearing These Items to Work, Let Us Resend the Dress Code Memo

1 Body-Con Dresses

Fit-and-flares are far more appropriate, and they give you the ability to cinch in your waist with a tighter bodice.

2 Platform Sandals or Flip-Flops

If you like a lower peep-toe, that works just fine. But for the warmer months when you want to let your toes breathe, reach for a sophisticated sandal that's elegant and not distracting. We recommend Stuart Weitzman's Nudist shoe, which comes in a shorter "Song" version. If you're looking for a lower-priced option, we have some suggestions.

3 Strapless Shirts, Spaghetti Tanks, or Halters

If you want to bare some skin, we recommend something structured with a slight off-the-shoulder fit, especially if it's part of a coordinated set.

4 Anything Too Tight or Too Baggy

Don't be slouchy about your shirting or wear something so tight that even you might feel uncomfortable in it. Opting for pieces with sashes at the waist or flowing silhouettes that help frame your figure in a modest way are key.

5 Hemlines Above the Knee

If you've got great legs, by all means, show them off — even at the office! BUT, if you're baring your knees, make sure the hemline falls just to and the neckline is modest up top. A tuxedo dress like this one is a great option. On the contrary, you could always go for a completely different silhouette, like the midi.

6 Cutoff Shorts

If you're a shorts gal, try a tailored coordinated set with long shorts that stop just above the knee. A pair of pumps to complete the look will make you feel like a boss lady for sure.

7 Sheer Pants or Skirts

Own a lot of see-through tulle fancy enough to wear to the office? Layer it over black slacks and a sophisticated sleeveless tee and complete with peep-toe pumps. Save your ultrasheer, gauzy fabrics for home or nights out on the weekend.

8 Thigh-High Slits

Want to show a slip of skin while you walk? Wrap skirts are the answer. Cinch your waist with a leather belt and work a pair of booties, which will draw attention to your legs.

9 Hoodies

We know hoodies are having a moment, but a mod-looking sweater that's tight-fitting and can be tucked into a skirt is still just as comfortable! Find one in a bright shade that you're excited about, and we promise you'll still feel like you're in your loungewear.
