3 things you should stop wearing to work

Every workplace is different. Some are more relaxed and casual and others are more traditionally structured. Even if you work in an informal environment, you can be sure that there are certain articles of clothing your boss is not a fan of. Here are 3 things you should never wear to work, no matter how casual your work culture is.

Revealing clothing
Whether it’s a skirt that is too short, a cleavage-baring top, or just an unbuttoned dress shirt that’s showing a little too much chest hair, be sure to keep yourself fully covered while at work. Any article of clothing that reveals too much can be viewed as distracting. You want to be judged by your work performance and not by your appearance.

Too much perfume, cologne, aftershave
Just as inappropriate clothing can be a distraction, so can too much of a strong scent. If your coworkers or boss can catch your smell before you walk in the room then you are overdoing it. Be respectful to others in the office and go light on the fragrance. That way you won’t have to worry about getting on anyone’s bad side.

Wrinkles
You should ALWAYS be sure your clothing looks professional and put together. If you arrive at work in wrinkled clothes, you may be perceived as unorganized and sloppy. Don’t let others view you as unkempt because it will be an easy jump for them to also assume the work you are doing is subpar.
