What took me by surprise though, was the length of their skirts, my girlfriend's included!
I don't know if my parents are just old or something, but I was always taught, "NEVER wear skirts above the knee in an office setting! It's VERY unprofessional!"
But there my girlfriend and her coworkers were... the LONGEST length was C, which is already ABOVE the knee. But most of the women there wore shorter lengths than that. D and E seemed to be by far the most common lengths, with E being slightly more common. And some women even went close to F... not EXACTLY F, but close.
My girlfriend herself had on E. Well above her knees. I asked her if it was a casual day, and she said no, this is how they ALWAYS dress.
They all looked great! Not unprofessional at all. And besides showing a good amount of leg, the upper body was 100% covered, as expected in an office setting.
Maybe it has to do with the office being women's only, and not having to worry about sexual harassment as much. Or how the boss is just super chill/kind.
But the customers there usually don't see the employee's skirt length anyway, as the office is full of desk jobs they're behind... they only see their skirt length if they get up to show a customer something.
If this is generally acceptable though, I might as well go ahead and buy a couple of nice office skirts that are E length, just like my girlfriend's! 4 inches above the knee, I'd assume.
