Having my mother as a constant example, I never had to wonder about what I should or shouldn’t wear to an office job. Some people aren’t that fortunate and they need some guidance. In her article, A Word From……

How about some other "never break" rules:

1) No Flip-flops
2) If you're not sure if it's appropriate….it's not,
3) If your 15 year old daughter tried to leave the house in it to go to school, and you'd have a cow, don't wear it
4) "Less is more" applies to accessories/jewelry, not clothing

The men in my office wear suits, I might not like a particular suit (there's a pinstripe downstairs that is heinous) but it would be very strange for it not to be suitable for work.

Occasionally in some offices men might dress too casually but there are 90 inappropriately dressed women for every 10 men.

Still, men can go wrong in the workplace by showing up in clothes or shoes that are too casual, or in items that are too small, too big, too wrinkled, etc. Usually, though, these mistakes are less glaringly obvious than bursting cleavage, a peeking thong or a mini skirt.

In short, while workplace fashion may be more of a challenge for women, it's not sexist, it's just a fact of life that will remain until we all convert to a unisex, jumpsuit-based wardrobe like the crew of the Starship Enterprise.
