What you wear can affect how professional you look at work, especially if you’re in a senior position. Here are the top 10 Office outfit mistakes to avoid if you want to be taken seriously in the office! 1. Revealing Clothing Rule number one: keep it classy, not flashy.

All right tumblr, coming to you hopes that employment law-blr can help me come up with a solution to my pickle

I want to dye my hair, but it goes against my work's dress code policy. Perhaps it's the autism, but I just don't see why colored hair is considered unprofessional. I've asked my boss and her reason is that if she tells me yes then she has to tell everyone yes, but I don't see a business reason to not allow everyone to have fun colored hair. I work in an assisted living and Memory Care facility, and if the reason is that the residents wouldn't like it, many of them have expressed to me that they want colored hair themselves, I even have a buzz cut that everyone seems to like.

Should I start a petition? Should I email the owner? Should I write a persuasive letter to my manager or the owner to convince them that the policy is silly? I can see myself being at this job for a very long time, and I'd like to have fun hair while I'm still young and goofy

oh god I just had a really horny thought, imagine coming to work without any underwear and teasing javi ugh like he just gets small glimpses of your pussy and it drives him up the WALL and then you end up spread open on his desk with his large hands on your inner thighs whilst he devours you 😩🫠

oh my god 😵‍💫 a horny thought INDEED holy shit... but what if you guys had some kind of argument the night before and that's why you've thought up of this little plan to fuck with him. i wanna say that maybe you two have been hooking up in secret for a while now and maybe you're ready to make it a real thing. he's very hesitant to do so because of his reputation and because he knows how women usually get treated once their office affairs are exposed.

so that talk just led to a petty fight that ended with him being an asshole to you and storming out of your place... you weren't going to let it go like you usually do— so you decide to get back at him in the only way you know is really going to get to him.

javier peña loves pussy—yours, to be exact— and he's a very possessive man when it comes to the things that are his. but if you're his, then why is he keeping you a secret? you really couldn't give less of a fuck about his reputation or about what others are going to say about you. it's not like you were breaking any rules (okay maybe you have hooked up around the office but what they don't know won't hurt them!)

and since he's not staking his claim on you, then you're free to do whatever. right? this particular skirt you've picked today shows your panty lines and you just can't have that (so unprofessional 😉) so you forego the undergarment all together.

if you just so happen to bend over a little to much and accidentally give his work rival a glimpse of heaven (as javi has so kindly put it) then.... oh well.

if the skirt rides up high enough to show the tops of your thighs while you're taking a call, thighs spreading to get comfortable... then so be it.

you find it so exhilarating and you haven't even revealed this little secret to him yet. coming in like you always do, making mindless small talk with your co-workers. it's not until lunch time that you stop by his private office, where he just gives you a once over and seemingly dismisses you that you drop the bomb on him.

handing over a file before strutting out, you feel his gaze on your swaying hips— on your ass, and you bite back a smirk.

he's too easy.

you close the door behind you and it's not until you're rounding the corner that he opens the folder and sees the flimsy, lacy fabric of your panties stuffed in there and he shoots up from his chair like someone's lit a fire under his ass; following behind you with his jaw clenched so tight, he might dislocate it.

then he sees you perched up on the other guy's desk, legs crossed while you lean closer to him and zendaya laugh at one of his unfunny jokes. it has him seeing red (or green, i guess) but he can't go over there and yank you off the surface without causing a scene. that'd draw attention and:

"We just can't have that, cariño." as he had so nicely told you the night before.

when you lean over enough, your ass rises off the desk and he gets just the quickest peek of your cunt.

he grits your name out through clenched teeth and you look over your shoulder at him, narrowing your gaze ever so slightly.

"i'm busy right now. we're going out for lunch." but your arch your back ever so slightly and he swears he's half tempted to draw the gun from his lower back and shoot that motherfucker between the eyes, then drag you over to his office and put you in your place.

but again— he can't do a damn thing. it'd just expose your relationship and, well....

"We just can't have that, cariño."

the entire time you're out for lunch, he's pacing his office, losing his mind knowing you're out with another man while your pussy is just out. what if he got handsy and rested his hand on your thigh? slid it up under the hem of your skirt? to where your leg and pelvis meet? what if you spread your legs a little further and let him run his fingers up your wet slit? and you'd be wet, javier knows this. knows how easy it is for him to get you dripping.

would this man have the same effect on you?

he's watching the clock like a fucking hawk, assaulting the poor plastic hands with his gaze until they hit the hour and he hears your bubbly laugh floating down the hallway.

it's kind of pathetic the way he rushes out of his office, biting down on his tongue. his usual golden eyes darken once you're in his line of sight. your breath catches in your throat at his stance, you're able to read him like a fucking book.

you smirk at him. he's played right into your little game and that is what sets him off.

he calls your name, demanding you to meet him in his office and you have to keep yourself from squealing at his tone, blowing off the insufferable guy you just wasted your lunch break on just to piss javier off.

you saunter into his office, skin on fire, and he's waiting for you, leaning against the edge of the desk.

"shut the door."

your tongue pokes against the inside of your cheek as you turn slowly, doing as you're told before facing him again.

"what the fuck do you think you're doing?"

you feign innocence, "what do you mean?"

"don't— don't fucking do that."

you shrug, leaning back against the door, letting his angry stare undress you.

"i just went out to lunch with a co-worker, javier. is that a crime or am i not allowed to let anyone know about that either?"

his jaw twitches and your thighs tense together.

"come here."

you could drag this out, be more of a brat about it, but you won't— because this entire time; you've been hot and fucking ready for one man and one man only.

you slowly walk to him and his impatience at your pace takes over, his large hands reach out to grab you by your waist to drag you to him. you almost trip over your work heels.

"you're a piece of work, you know that?" it all happens so fast, how he moves your body like you weigh nothing and perches you up on his desk, standing between your spread thighs.

"doin' all this and for what? 'cause i don't want to parade you around here like some fuckin' trophy?" he leans in, kissing and nipping at your jaw, your mind clouded with lust as his thick fingers dig into the sensitive skin of your inner thighs.

you whimper, not being able to find the words from the practiced argument you had in your head all night and morning, head canting back as his lips move down your body.

"all this for attention?" he huffs, sinking to his knees, "like i don't fucking give it to you all the damn time. is that not enough?"

javier groans loudly at the sight of your bare pussy, glistening, beckoning him in. he knows the second those pretty folds are spread and he sees your throbbing clit and fluttering hole; he's going to have no choice but to succumb to you completely.

"no, it's not." you stand your ground, struggling to keep your hips from bucking forward to get his mouth on you. you feel his warm breath fan over your core, sweat gathering at the base of your spine.

he bites and licks all around the area you need him most, and you hear him muttering to himself but you don't understand a goddamn word he's saying, blood rushing in your ears, heart beating so loud.

and then he's devouring your cunt like a man starved, lips, tongue, nose touching you in all the right places. you have to bite down on your lower lip to keep the lewd moans from escaping you, knuckles flushed against the edge of his desk to keep you stable while his possessive mouth reminds you that you're his and his only.

It is my firm belief that the Kristoph wears shirts that are too big him to hide his snatched waist.

I totally believe like John Melaney, he’s got them feminine hips, so wears clothes that don’t fit so he can be “taken seriously”

He makes himself look ugly cause he’s too afraid and insecure to be the pretty little bitch he is

kristoph gavin is the first man to experience misogyny in the workplace so true

At a Job Interview, Does Dress Code or Handshake Have a Greater Impact?

The Importance of First Impressions: Dress Code and Handshake in Job Interviews

Both the dress code and the handshake are important in an interview because they can convey your professionalism, confidence, and personality to the interviewer. However, depending on the type of interview, one may be more important than the other. Here are a few factors to consider:

Dress code: Dressing appropriately for an interview can show that you have researched the company's culture, respect the interviewer's time, and take care of your appearance. Dress codes may vary depending on the industry, the position, and the location of the interview. Some general tips for choosing your outfit include:

Research the company's dress code and dress one level up from what employees typically wear.

Choose clothing that is clean, wrinkle-free, well-fitted, and comfortable.

Avoid clothing that is too casual, revealing, flashy, or trendy.

Choose neutral colors or subtle patterns over bright colors or loud prints.

Accessorize minimally and appropriately.

Handshake: Shaking hands during an interview can show that you are friendly, confident, and respectful. The handshake can vary depending on the culture, the situation, and the interviewer's personal preference. Some general tips for giving a good handshake are:

Make eye contact and smile as you approach the interviewer.

Extend your right hand and grasp the interviewer's hand firmly and palm to palm.

Shake hands with one or two pumps that last two to three seconds.

Avoid shaking hands too hard, too soft, too long, or too short.

Greet the interviewer with a polite and enthusiastic statement such as, "It's a pleasure to meet you.”

i. actually enjoyed it? retail is a completely different experience when i'm not chained to a till for 8 hours unable to do anything but question why i'm here.

You really don't have to try to present as anything. Unless you want to. I find it exhausting to have to try to fit in a box. I'm a woman. But I don't try to be "feminine" in fact I don't believe in it. Who makes these rules anyway? It's just culture. Someone somewhere decided pink meant for females and women haven't been left alone since. Dresses... in a lot of history, men wore what could be similar to dresses. Not pants. Why is a dress "feminine"? Or long hair or anything else... I think we have to deconstruct why things are the way they are. If we want to be truly free to be ourselves. Do what makes you happy, but don't feel like you have to try to fit in any boxes. No matter what gender you are. Experiment, try new things. Or don't concentrate on appearance much at all. It takes a lot of money to keep up with latest fashions, buy makeup etc... I just don't want to do that. I never did. Doesn't mean I'm not a woman. Why should i have to fit in anyone's boxes? I care more about Internal things anyway. Not superficial. People judging you on appearance, whether it's elaborate or super comfy, should just shut up. It's none of their business.

"I'm fem-presenting!" "My presentation is masculine!" "I present androginously!" well I forgot there was a presentation today and it's too late to put anything together

Past, Present, And Future Of Office Fashion: A Journey Through Style | Beauty/Fashion News

There's a post going around right now about women being allowed to wear pants, and the way that relates to discussions on gender nonconformity, etc.. There's a long thread of folks talking about how women very much do not have absolute freedom to dress masculine, and a few other posts that have spawned off the main discussion.

And I haven't added onto that main post because I didn't feel like I had much to add, but now it's been a couple days and I can't stop thinking about how I was forced to wear a dress to my high school graduation in small-town Mississippi. I'm not a woman, but I didn't know that yet, so it's a relevant story.

The school administration threatened every single girl with the punishment of being banned from walking across the stage if we wore pants beneath our graduation robes. We got an entire lecture about how it was inappropriate for us to wear pants to such an important formal event.

My school had a strict uniform policy, and the graduating seniors being allowed to wear our own clothes to graduation was seen as a huge fucking deal. We'd spent four years not being allowed to wear our own clothes or accessories, and graduation was supposed to be our time to finally wear what we wanted. This was a bigger deal than it might have been otherwise, because my school also refused to allow us to decorate our graduation caps. We were not allowed to display any customization at all. One girl put her name on hers so her family could find her from the crowded stands, and the school administration made her throw her hat away and buy a new one or else she wouldn't be allowed in the event hall.

The school, knowing how excited many of us were about picking our outfits, gave us a strict dress code. Our outfits wouldn't be seen until after we took off the graduation robes to go home, but still, we had a nightmarishly strict guide for what we were allowed to wear beneath them. They had to be formal outfits, they had to fit a certain color scheme, they had to adhere to the school policy about skirt length and skin visibility, and, naturally, they were extra harsh on the girls, as dress code policies always are.

One guy joked that he was going to go naked underneath in solidarity with all the girls who were upset about the dress requirement. He got pulled aside by an administrator and told that if he made that joke again, he wouldn't be given his diploma. Which I'm pretty sure is illegal, but it was still the threat that got made.

Everyone was pissed, several people were livid because they had already bought an outfit they were now not allowed to wear, because the administration had actively misled us for weeks into believing we would be allowed to wear what we wanted. There had been no mention of dress code requirements until they dropped them on us at rehearsal the morning of graduation, less than 12 hours before the event.

We had no power to override the school administration. We were given a strict lecture at rehearsal about how flouting dress codes is unprofessional and if we gave that kind of attitude to people over dress codes in the workplace, we'd be fired.

We were ultimately told that, "if it's not appropriate for church, it's not appropriate for graduation." Those of us who asked "what if we aren't Christian and don't even go to church" were told "you still know what kind of clothes church clothes are, so stop being rude."

This happened in May of 2011.

I've seen a few posts about women and pants now and many of them are very good, and not to nitpick those posts or downplay religious sexism or anything, but I have to emphasise:

Somebody who DOESN'T live in a controlling religious country/cult/family is also affected by sexism. We all know that, right? Secular parts of the first world also have opinions about how women dress, including when it comes to trousers, especially in childhood and in institutions like schools and the workplace

Me and many people my age (20s) remember being forced into skirts, punished and shamed by parents & teachers & peers & possibly then bosses about what we wear not being feminine enough, and it wasn't by deeply religious sects. Many updates to dress codes are very new and sexist views are still in place in many institutions. Normalised societal misogyny wants women (and people they want to treat as women) to dress femininely, down to what KIND of pants they're allowed to wear (compare a pink top and jeggings to mens jeans and tell me these two women are treated the same. Hating women in pantsuits is still a sexist office joke today, and even those outfits are feminine compared to male suits, which raise eyebrows when worn by women). The women I know who wear trousers regularly are literally otherwise feminine, and all wear dresses to events.

I know trousers have become much more normalised over the past few decades in secular society (yay!! the result of many many years of effort and lawbreaking) but let's not be absolute when we talk about the pants concept lol. Especially within a larger conversation about female/transmasc/intersex/transfem masculinity and social perceptions, especially in an age of rising fascism
