Also, I see this all the time on metro…..check the back of your skirt. Lots of young women seem to not realize that if a skirt is the same length in the back as the front, if you have any butt, it will then be shorter in back. If you have a really curvy butt, it might be a LOT shorter in back. I see women all the time that have skirts that are reasonable length in front, but from the back we are staring at the bottom of tjeir butt cheeks. Check the back and keep in mind the angle of the metro escalator and whether you want to give a show to the person behind you on the escalator.

I don’t care about wet hair so long as it’s not a client meeting or court or you’re leading a presentation.

Ill add carrying a backpack tends to pull up skirts in the back somehow.

No sneakers (fine for commuting but change at your desk), no flip flops, no shorts, no sweatpants, no sweatshirts. No visible bra or nips. If a trendy high schooler would wear it, don't wear it to the office.

I’m the previous poster and I wear sneakers all the time. Foot health is more important than anything else. Your should see my mom’s bunions from years of professional shoes. Sneakers are fine.

Sneakers now are much more varied, muted and polished. It's not like LA Gear with scrunch socks worn by Melanie Griffith that were dirty from the subway.

I don't see much difference between some athleisure black pants and black ponte pants. A shell top vs. an athleisure v-neck? I don't know why people are striking all athleisure. Most of it's very suitable.

I had these pants for business and my daughter had the same ones from athleisure store.


(PS can I still wear these or are they out of style?)

Waiting for the arrogant poster who wears crisp white shirts with ponte pants and silk scarves to chime in…

I wear these (not the scuffed up ones) and they’re fine for a casual workplace.

I wear jeans and sneakers but I'm all out of f*cks to give as I go in to sit by myself in my office all day.

I think it depends on the specific pants and how you style them. I have several pairs of Athleta pants but only wear about half to the office - the ones I do wear are straight leg with a line down the front middle, they look like work pants. The ones I don't wear are more like tight, stretchy flared leggings and look like athletic wear. Then there are a couple pairs that are on the line and need the right top/jacket and shoes to look office appropriate, but I also wear them to slob around on the weekends.

Same for tops - depends what you wear them with and how you style them.

Yeah, today I'm wearing a button up shirt, suit skirt, and sneakers. Everyone I will be directly working with today will only see me on a screen. I'm sure the two older guys with neighboring offices are not paying attention to my shoes.

It’s all about how tight it is. I think a lot of those ponte pants are too tight. No one wants to see all the curves of your butt and thighs at work. The tighter pants were a little bit more okay when the trend was those long cardigans—at least then the butt was covered.

Always shocked at how offended people are by nipples.

Offended is not the right word. I just don’t think I should see them at the office. Your position is kind of a slippery slope. I can see some guy saying why are you so offended at seeing the outline of my dick — 50% of the population has them and it’s perfectly natural. But I also don’t want to see the outline of his dick through his work clothes. Why is it different than seeing someone’s elbow? I don’t know but it is.

I think ppl are referring to leggings that’s tight getting around butt until ankles.
A pair of wide leg ponte pants is always acceptable.

The equivalent of visible male package is cameltoe. I think of nipples as less …sexual?
