Introduction
An office is a place where you get to work and do your job, so it’s important that you look professional. But that doesn’t mean you have to wear boring clothes or business-appropriate clothing when going into the office. Some fashion moments are only appropriate at certain times of day, but there’s no reason why these can’t be mixed up when working from home or even just hanging out in your cubicle!
There are some fashion rules you should follow
If you’ve ever worked in an office or cubicle, then you know that there are some fashion rules to follow. For example:
- Follow the dress code.
- Avoid bright colors.
- Wear clothes that are appropriate for the job (i.e., don’t wear tights and a skirt if you’re working as a lawyer).
The silhouette debate is an ongoing one as different generations enter the workplace
The silhouette debate is an ongoing one as different generations enter the workplace, with each new generation comes new ideas about what constitutes office wear, which often means that cubicle-friendly clothes have to evolve to meet their needs.
In addition to being more comfortable for workers who spend long hours in front of a computer screen or working on spreadsheets, cubicle styles can also help reduce stress levels by making it easier to concentrate on tasks rather than worrying about how much space you’re taking up (or whether your pants will fall).
These guns work against your confidence and self-expression
The only issue with these guidelines is that they can work against your confidence and self-expression. If you feel like your cubicle is turning into a fashion show, it’s natural to want to make sure everyone knows what you’re working on. But remember: a cubicle is a place of work, not a fashion show and if anything, these rules are meant to help you be more productive and less distracting for others around you!
There are so many cute outfits you could wear to work
There are so many cute outfits you could wear to work. You can dress up or down, depending on the situation and your employer’s culture. If you’re in an office environment where casual is the norm, then maybe you shouldn’t be wearing heels!
Or perhaps it’s hot outside but cold inside? A knit sweater paired with leggings will keep you comfortable while still looking professional. Or maybe it’s raining outside and inside everyone is sweating profusely? A long sleeve dress shirt with a skirt over leggings would be fine for an office environment as well!
If there is one thing we’ve learned from our research into this topic, it’s that there are no rules when it comes to what type of clothing works best when working at home just make sure whatever items chosen are appropriate for all situations (as well as age).
Clothing is a way for people to express themselves
If you’re like me, then you’ve probably had a cubicle or two in your life. And if you have, then it’s likely that the walls around your desk are filled with motivational posters and inspirational quotes. As much as these things may help us get through our day-to-day grinds at work, they also serve another purpose they give people something to look at when they’re bored or stressed out by their work environment. It’s easy for us all to get caught up in what we’re doing and forget about how others feel about themselves when they don’t see any type of positive reinforcement anywhere around them during their time spent away from home (yes I know this sounds terrible).
Clothing has always been an outlet for expression: whether it be through dance performances or wearing certain outfits because they make us feel good about ourselves; clothing can be used as a form of self-expression by individuals who want others around them to be just how wonderful life truly is! If you didn’t know where the Cubicle Chic shoot was taking place, you’d probably just assume it was just a cool location.
Try these looks out in your next meeting
If you’re ready to make a fashion statement at your next meeting, but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve got some tips that will help.
- Dress for the job you want: Don’t be afraid to try something new or different. Consider what kind of work looks best with your work environment and personality and then go with it!
- Be yourself: Don’t let anyone tell you how you should dress or act because they think it’s more appropriate for them than for YOU! If someone tells me I can’t wear red lipstick because it clashes with my hair (which happens), I’ll just tell them “You don’t get to decide whether or not I wear red lipstick.” And if they say something like “you’re so brave,” well then maybe that means this person doesn’t understand bravery at all but who knows? Maybe if enough people tell me how bravely I’m doing things (or weren’t doing things) then maybe someday soon everyone will realize my bravery equals success!
You can still be stylish in the office
The cubicle is not your prison, it’s just a place where you have to work. You may be used to seeing people with their heads down and eyes glued to their laptop screens, but that doesn’t mean they’re stuck there forever. Most people who work at desks enjoy being away from other distractions like personal phones or noisy coworkers nearby. This means that if you want to look good at work without breaking the bank (or spending more than $10), there are ways for you to do so without breaking the bank either! So, what do you think? Is this more about fashion or just being yourself at work?
