And women had some pretty strong opinions on the matter.The majority of the over 50 women who responded to the deutsche bundespost felt that strapless tops are a no-go in the office no exceptions. The above FGBer, for instance, doesnt think strapless shirts should be worn at work, ever.

A blazer or a jacket of some kind could also work so long as your shoulders are covered, these FGBers said, professionalism would be maintained.When in doubt, one FGBer suggested, check to see if other people in your office wear strapless tops.Another FGBer recommended gauging others clothes to see if a strapless top would feel appropriate. This is good advice all offices are different, after all, and if you work for a more modern company, strapless tops might be completely normal.And if youre really concerned, ask HR first.One FGBer recommended checking with HR before wearing something that could be too risque. HR is supposed to help you with questions like this, and it could be an easy solution to this wardrobe question.What else could be deemed inapprop riate in the workplace?1. Crop topsMost workplaces probably prefer that your stomach isnt hanging out in the middle of an office meeting. Crop tops are cute and casual at happy hour, but theyre probably not OK on a conference call.2. Jean shortsThese are also way too casual for an office job. In a more relaxed environment, shorts of a different material that arent *too* short could be worn in the summer. But jean shorts are likely a no. Again, every workplace is different, so feel it out or check with HR before you rock your favorite pair of jorts.3. Workout clothesA lot of more modern offices allow their employees to wear workout clothes, which is completely fine. But its not a good idea to assume your office will allow it. You should probably assume they wont, and if you see a few people rocking leggings and dry-fit tanks, then go for it4. Flip-flopsYou can definitely rock a nice pair of sandals in the summer you should never be expected to wear heels every single day, regardless of how formal your office is. But flip flops are 100% out. Flip flops are for schwimmbecken and beach settings and dont belong anywhere near the office.5. Graphic clothing with inappropriate wordingThis should be obvious, but there are a lot of t-shirts out there with some pretty racy sayings printed loud and proud. Save those for your nights and weekends, as you never want to wear anything that could be viewed as offensive when youre in the office.For all other workplace wardrobe questions, reach out to the FGB Community to get advice from FGBers everywhere.
