Secondly, a person should avoid wearing flip-flops in office, as these are almost never appropriate in an office environment.

Thirdly, an employee should avoid any piece of clothing that shows too much skin.

Fourthly, T-shirts are rarely appropriate for workplace environment - particularly the ones that have controversial messages written on them.

 

Fifthly, if a person has to ask himself if their clothing is work-appropriate, it probably isn't.

Sixthly, a worker should avoid wearing any type of athletic wear in the office and if they have a Pilates class or tennis match after work, they should pack their clothes to change into.
