Passing the door of your workplace in an XXL t-shirt, leopard print leggings and rhinestone flip-flops will certainly make you stand out, but not necessarily in the best of ways. To avoid the worst, zoom on those parts that it is reasonable to give up.

  • The message t-shirt

11 pieces not to wear in the office

We forget: the concert t-shirt, the top with humorous messages or the one with a political message ... Not sure that everyone agrees to the office.

Why ? If the t-shirt message has made a comeback at New York Fashion Week, it has not yet entered the professional locker room. And that's understandable: imagine a little arrive at the office with a flocked top of the McDonald logo or the head of Barack Obama.

The solution: t-shirts with minimalist messages . Chic and discreet.


  • The cropped top

We forget: you have a flat stomach and abs in concrete? Perfect, but your workplace is certainly not the place to reveal them.

Why ? Because the mid-pop star, mid-pre teen is good for teenage girls. Imagine coming to work and facing your boss's remark: "Here, my 13-year-old daughter at the same height". Embarrassing.

The solution: prefer a pretty blouse or a blouse ruffle that remains trend while granting a more professional quickdraw.

  • Sequin pieces

We forget: if you want to shine like a mirror ball or pay tribute to the 80s, go for it. In the opposite case, immediately put this silver sequined jacket.

Why ? Because the excessive sequins have the gift of making cheap.

The solution: if you have an assumed bling-bling side, replace the glittering sequins with an accumulation of chic and delicate jewels.

  • Jogging

We forget: it seems obvious, but with the return of jogging on the fashion scene, be careful not to be too influenced by the trend, to the point of bringing it into open space.

Why ? Sweatshirts and jogging show a certain carelessness that your boss does not want to detect in his employees. So keep it for your trips to the gym, but ban it from the office.

The solution: if you opt for comfort, prefer fluid pants or chinos. Comfortable and timeless.


  • Torn jeans

We forget: with his spirit of rebellion, the torn jeans has made his hole for some years now.

Why ? If you do not care about your office attire, it's because you do not care enough about your work. At least, that's what your boss will think when you see you push the door in torn jeans.

The solution: cigarette pants or chinos will enhance your figure while ensuring a relaxed look.

  • The bodycon dress

We forget to show the least curves of his body through a dress more suited to the dance floor than professional appointments.

Why ? Perfect for a party to wiggle, the bodycon dress may seem slightly too festive to make a powerpoint presentation in front of an assembly, right?

The solution: a straight dress, cut elegantly, adjusted to the size, which will be just as feminine without giving the impression that you have just returned from evening.


  • Animal prints

We forget:
your bestiary of zebras, tigers, leopards and reptiles of all kinds could frighten more than one.

Why ? If the animal print can raise a total black look, it is not unanimous on the fashion scene, let alone on the professional scene.

The solution: adopt it in agreement, but by small touches only. On a pair of shoes or on a handbag , he upgrades your looks by ensuring a chic and sophisticated outfit. In leopard fur coat and zebra pants, the result is not really the same.


  • Leggings

We forget: besides the fact that leggings should simply have disappeared from your wardrobe in 2017, it is the perfect ally of yoga sessions, not professional meetings.

Why ? The leggings is a piece that is debated: looking too sporty and likened to a certain sloppiness, it is not necessarily well regarded, especially by an employer.

The solution : as for jogging, if you want comfort at all costs, put on chino pants or fluid pants.


  • The flip-flops

We forget: the flip-flops, where the perfect accessory for the long sunny days at the beach, are just designed for the beach, not the office. Unless you work on the beach (and if so, you are very lucky).

Why ? Imagine the opposite situation: want to spend your day watching the feet of your colleagues in flip-flops? No. Neither do they.

The solution: not want to lock your feet in a pair of closed shoes? Then go for a pair of open shoes like flat sandals or sandals for example.
 

  • The micro-shorts and the mini-skirt

We forget: a piece of fabric that covers only a few inches of your posterior.

Why ? Do you really want to shoot your skirt all day for fear of seeing your buttocks?

The solution: to be able to strum quietly on his keyboard without having to pull on his skirt constantly, we opt for a model a little longer. Fortunately, fashion is on your side: midi skirt, fluid skirt or pleated skirt , there is plenty of choice
