[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think shorts or skirts for work should be closer to your knee that to your crotch.  So whatever that midpoint is, don’t go above it.  
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.  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

I am 60 years old, and I basically wear nothing but sneakers anymore. Sneakers with my suits, with dresses and skirts, etc. I am the highest-ranking woman in my office--happy to send the message that heels are not required here.[/quote]
I love you for this, but I’m still uneasy with sneakers (Such a funny word! We were more literal and called them tennis shoes.) with dresses or skirts.  [/quote]

Are you literally going to play tennis in them? 
My tennis shoes (for clay or hard courts; grass are different) are literally tennis shoes. Otherwise they are, yes, sneakers in this country. Or "kicks" if you're cool. [/quote]

DP - Tennis shoes vs sneakers vs gym shoes is a regional thing throughout this country.[/quote]

NP- Actual tennis shoes have a different sole. They're not the same as sneakers. [/quote]
Yes but a ton of people in the country describe any athletic shoe as “tennis shoes” no matter what they’re designed for. Like pop vs. soda.

Agreed. I grew up referring to all athletic type shoes as "sneakers." I moved out of NYC as a teen and suddenly everything I thought of as "sneakers" were now "tennis shoes." [/quote]
