Is it OK to wear a short skirt, like the one in the photo, in an office?

The dress code does NOT banned short skirts and there is NO statement about the length.

[btbc92]

Absolutely NOT if you want to keep your job let alone career. You at least wear something under it like stockings. It is unprofessional and you will be judged for it. Remember what you do now will follow you in your career for the rest of your life. Which can blacklist you from future job prospects and hiring you. It's not that they don't banned you from wearing it. But the message you're sending to not only to your customers, your co-workers and your boss, but your entire career. You can also prevent good people from wanting to work there because of it. And it can hurt the business as well as the company.

[TinawAllison]

You’ve got a point ! There

[emilzay]

Thanks for your advice.

[TinawAllison]

Your welcome.

[CherryRoseChampange]

I don't think it's the usual, but I'm sure you could find ways to make it classy enough go wear in an office building.

[emilzay]

Good advice. But I think these skirts except the last are about the same length with mine.

[CherryRoseChampange]

Yuh huh, I was trying to find similar skirts to give you an example of finding stuff to make it classy and professional.

[NearlyNapping]

Depends on the office. Unless you know for sure, then it's better to err on the side of caution and not wear it. Due to the nature of my work I've worked in a lot of offices. I don't recall seeing anyone wear a skirt that short.

Just because it doesn't violate a dress code, doesn't mean it's OK to wear it. There are probably hundreds of things not specified in the rules that you shouldn't do. Many companies don't even have any official rules, but that doesn't mean anything goes.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure! Why not? Besides, that's not exactly short. I work in an office building where a few girls that work there wear skirts and dresses even shorter than that and nobody says anything about it... and it's a pretty heavily religious building! (Most people that work there believe in that bullshit.)

[emilzay]

How short are these skirts?

[FunkyMonkee]

About 2" shorter than yours.

[weasley8]

That doesn't look too short. It's hard to tell with her hands up at her waist though.

I work in a school. So I just try to follow the same dress code the kids have to. Technically I don't have to, but I feel it's only fair to them.

In an office setting, I'd say to take cues from the other women in the office. How much freedom to they exercise over what they can wear?

[emilzay]

Some wear pants, some wear skirts a little below or above knees, and few wear skirts even shorter than mine.

[EzraIsShy76028]

It seems like an okay skirt in general but a bit too much for office settings. Seems a bit too casual for an office.

I've heard of some women doing stuff like really high boots and leggings/tights and stuff with a short skirt to make it look less revealing and show less skin. Maybe that could work in some cases.

[chihiro_21]

I feel like in an office setting, a good length is just above the knee or longer. Maybe you can ask a coworker or someone else who works in that office what they think of the skirt of you really want to wear it. But that seems a little bit short for an office setting. However f you do wear it, I recommend wearing a pair of shorts underneith. My high school uniform had shirts exactly like the pic and we all wore shorts under just in case.

[MarketNews]

Doesn't that defeat the object of wearing a short skirt?

[elizamichale1]

It is if you are confident and capable enough to silent the critics who have nothing to do in the world except poking their noses in other people's business
And well where i work i am not allowed to wear a skirt like that lol but instead i can only wear a micro skirt 😂😂

[shasher]

lol where are u working at :p
by the way how micro are we talking here

[elizamichale1]

@shasher i work in a nightclub lol
Well micro micro lol Google it and u will see

[shasher]

hahaha okayy it seems there would be no panties rule as well lol

[elizamichale1]

@shasher yup no panties no bra

[shasher]

lol u must be bored of sex now

[elizamichale1]

@shasher nops not at all

[shasher]

[elizamichale1]

@shasher still that doesn't make me bored of it lol

[shasher]

holy fuck i would wanna taste u cometime

[elizamichale1]

@shasher lol

[bellamossa]

it's a question to ask to your boss not on Gag, each company has different rules. on my floor, none would complain. on floor where HR sits, yes. other companies would take it differently... dress code doesn't ban, then it's ok, even if hot enough to distract men around.

[SjE78]

yes it's ok... as long as it isn't against teh dress code and tbf that skirt in the pic isn't that short

but will point out that anyone who tries to imply any sexual issues concerning that type/length of skirt clearly has issues themselves...

[CubsterShura]

Depends on where you live. If short skirts in office isn't a big deal then you're good. If it's not and you're afraid it could cause distractions then better opt for something else. No need to make yourself uncomfortable.

[InTimoreDei]

Problem with women these days is that they even have to ask this kind of question. They're so used to walking around half naked normally so they don't even know what's appropriate in different settings (school, work etc)

[Sadly_it_Grew_Back]

Depends on the office guidelines. I personally would not wear something at that length but if you feel comfortable and the guidelines allow for it, then go for it.

[shasher]

how would u dress up for ur office

[Sadly_it_Grew_Back]

@shasher I tend to go fairly traditional with a twist.

[CandacePerry]

It depends on job or office. If you work with male dominated work area. They will probably undies shots. I work jogger /sweatpants for work since I work in a garden area.

[Texaskid1]

Yes.
Dress provocatively and make sure that all of your male coworkers hit on you.

Than you can sue for sexual harrassment.
You can make millions😂😂😂😂😂😂.

[emilzay]

LOL! You are joking! So you don't think it's OK?

[Texaskid1]

No. Wear a long skit that does not go above the knees or lose fitting pants. It's work - not a pick up scene. If you dress in a manner that is provocative at work you will look unprofessional.

[Bananaman177]

Don't dress like a whore if you're just going to act like a prude.

That's my message to young women.

[rkaye]

Loooooool damn straught

[purplepoppy]

It's not that short. Often it's not the management that have the problem it's other women.

[aa180]

It's better not to, especially if the skirt is tight on top of being short. But even a just loose short skirt is kind of unnecessary and quite unprofessional in my opinion.

[Seket]

Too short for me. You need to cover more to show that you are there for serious business, not showing off.

[Browneye57]

It's fine. Just don't bend over in front of your boss when you've forgotten your panties. ;)

[MarketNews]

Yeah, unless you want a raise.

[Browneye57]

@MarketNews - Or you want HIM to get a raise. LOL.
Or is that a rise?

What's the matter with girls these days? LOL

[Browneye57]

Then in the next breath they'll complain about sexual harassment. Dear god.

[Browneye57]

Or that air conditioning is sexist. OMFG

[emilzay]

What's the matter with guys all the time? Girl's short skirts are not the justification for sexual harassment.

[Browneye57]

Sure they are. It's an invitation dumbass, or they wouldn't wear them.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Although that skirt isn't too short, it might be frowned upon in a typical office environment.

[lacaras]

Depends on the company, if it's more uptight, then maybe stick to dresses and skirts that go below the knees, if it's more casual, then sure go for it.

[emilzay]

I think it's casual but most don't wear so short skirts. Do I have to follow them?

[lacaras]

You can test the waters, maybe if you have a skirt that is a little shorter than others wear, and go toward the length you prefer and see if anyone says anything or gives you unwanted looks/attention.

[musicbrain5]

A skirt that short is not appropriate for a typical office environment.

[JackSmy]

Doesn't present any problems for me, if the company dress-code allows.

[Elliegirl]

It depends on the job and office environment. For some it’s ok.

[BrookieCookie0422]

I don’t think it’s appropriate unless you’re wearing panty hoes or tights under it. It just seems juvenile and a little slutty

[blkgold33]

it ok but dont be mad if the guy at work stare at you a bunch at work now

[luvstoned4him]

Depends on your areas of work

if its a cooperate office or government then yes its too short

[Repa33]

I mean it might not be appropriate depending. But hey if there's no rule against it go ahead

[SarahsSummer]

if there is no dress code for length then it's fine.

[Jooying]

It’s totally ok. I even wear shorter ones to my office.

[OceanVibess]

Really? I am sure people have hard time to focus while you do that :D

[Anonymous]

Depends on how open minded you think everybody at work is. If you think you can get away with it, sure. I'd personally not wear something like that if I were you because I think it's bordering on unprofessionalism but that's just me.

[wankiam]

more than ok but you will get a lot of male attention you might not really want

[wankiam]

many offices relax any dress code when the weather is hot but best thing to do is see what other women are wearing if you dont want to be the one to stand out

[Browser101]

Of course, wear whatever you want but guys like me would definitely be distracted. Totally not your fault though

[emilzay]

No, I don't want to cause distraction.

[Browser101]

To be safe I’d recommend a professional outfit.

[gorman24]

If dress code allows it there is nothing wrong with it

[emilzay]

Yes, it's allowed.

[frerardsprincess]

Depends on how fancy the office is and whether there’s any rules about skirts

[Emmalouise03]

too short, that looks kawaii. I don't like it, it's inappropriate especially in an office.

[e-Ghost]

Depends on what kind of business your office is in. If it's porn industry, I think it's okay.

[Dsg1193]

For work? I don’t think so. Unless it’s part of a uniform (doubt it) or with leggings/pantyhose below.

[bolverk]

Up to you. Would you feel comfortable wearing it in an office environment? If you would then crack on after all its your choice.

[HereIbe]

Not in my office. My office is in a laboratory. If you are not covered from the ankles, you get escorted out.

[Samantha_17]

I wear shorter skirts in the office :)

I like that skirt by the way :)

[emilzay]

How short is your skirt? I like it too.

[Samantha_17]

Very short. You can see the v-jay from the front :)

[Faith28]

Not really. Not for the office. BUt it is great for a weekend

[emilzay]

Got it. And I have some much more casual and sexy skirts for weekend.

[iFarted]

I don't recommend it unless you have certain intentions. If you dont well expect certain vibes and attention.

[Roxilicious]

That skirt is a classic literally why do guys make everything about themselves 🤦🏽‍♀️ or maybe I’m wrong and ur really not trying to say that’s a “whore” skirt in other words

[iFarted]

@Roxilicious im not saying it makes a girl look like a "whore/slut". Im saying itd get guys attention cause men will be men. (Most of the time)

[Roxilicious]

And who’s fault is that other than men’s? Why should woman dress so guys don’t stare? If guys feel entitled to woman’s body’s just for what they have on it’s just because of them alone and they were raised wrong 💯 people should never have to conform to anything other than what makes them feel good

[iFarted]

@Roxilicious who said anything about being entitled to a womens body? If a girls going to display something, most guys will look.

[Roxilicious]

And what? The universe does not revolve around if a guys gonna stare for a woman when a man says things like watch what you wear so men don’t stare it is coming from a place in men’s heart called entitlement you cannot just choose what people should wear and ty and tell them what to wear unless you feel entitled to do so and that seems to be a big issue with men they always feel entitled so much to the point where we literally always have to keep conforming and trying to be good woman for men out of fear of what men will say or do like no fuck that this has been going on since the beginning of time and it’s time for men to stop

[iFarted]

@Roxilicious lmao, you're quite extreme aren't you. No one ever said men are entitled to anything nor did I ever tell anyone what they can and cannot wear or do... If you don't know how to comprehend something perhaps you should retake some classes.
What is so hard to understand about if one wears something that shows something then guys will look? Some guys would stare at a girls chest even without cleavage showing... unfortunately thats life and it won't change..
For every action, there's a reaction

[Roxilicious]

Or men are pigs and should be raised differently how is that woman’s fault? If you’re a pig you’re a pig period tf lol and woman can do what they want with their own bodies if men stare oh well let the pigs stare it doesn’t mean it’s for them and if they dare do anything off to jail they go

[iFarted]

@Roxilicious i sense a troubled past

[Roxilicious]

and I sense a rape apologist

[iFarted]

@Roxilicious nah you're just an extreme feminist and thats okay to each their own

[Roxilicious]

Yeah no don’t try and play the feminism card men don’t have to have people telling them wtf to wear other Than dress codes and on top of that men don’t have to worry about rapist dressing a certain way and that’s really bs woman should be able to dress HOWEVER they want according to whatever they want men shouldn’t even have to be considered but one day equality will happen like a small village in Africa filled with nothing but woman and men are only allowed to stay after their of age if they agree to actual equality and the rule is No overpowering woman or attempting to I believe strongly that small village in Africa is the future woman ALL over deserve

[Roxilicious]

And on top of that the skirt in the picture is an actual style of skirt men don’t hold the power to ruin that fuck y'all and May all the rapist go to jail 👏🏽 amen

[GreenGold1992]

if you want pervy guys to try to look up your skirt, then sure

[emilzay]

I absolutely don't want.

[GreenGold1992]

Then you probably shouldn't wear a short skirt to the office

[Justcurious78]

No, have some class. If you don’t you will for sure attract the wrong kind of attention. Use your brains not your body. Dress to look sophisticated not trashy l.

[Anonymous]

Not worth the risk. Get some second hand biz wear on eBay.

[Opinion Owner]

If you want to look sexy for something after work, a little pencil skirt that’s longer is still cute. Or just change.

[Theseven]

I would not wear it to the office because some guys are just needy

[Thedisturbed1]

Depends. where i work, if you wear a short skirt like, that you get fired.

[Siavash_1990]

Yes, of course and bend over in front of the guys there and let them enjoy the view!!! Thanks!!!

[Anonymous]

It’s up to you. But I’m not going to lie, a young woman wearing that in the office would turn me on (if she’s attractive). Not sure if that’s vibe you want to give off

[Butterfly-x]

That’s not office material, bitch look like she about to go & play some tennis

[Twalli]

Maybe kind of risky, but I think it'd be okay overall.

[Notallways]

Sure, just don’t get all upset when you get more stares from guys who you might prefer not look.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

It is okay to wear them. What do the men have to wear?

[BeHappy1985]

Sure why not, but this can be distracting and lower the productivity.

[MarketNews]

Not just okay, I recommend it. Not the trainers (sneakers) though.

[ANNALISA99]

Sure I like them and like looking at a woman in short skirts.

[Anonymous]

Yes.. if you are in cap d'agde then even no skirt is ok. my mates generally comes nude.

[Anonymous]

Is the office strict? If so, i don’t think skirt in that length look professional at all

[Anonymous]

Well it is okay... but you will probably attract a lot of boners and guys that go to the toilet to masturbate to the thought of your sexyness.

[kalenH]

Wear what you want when you want, your life is your own

[Strange_Fan]

Wear shorts with 'em and yeah.. remember some martial arts as well.

[Kayla45]

As long as it's okay with the company/management

[emilzay]

But I don't know if it's OK with them.
