A skirt so short that the wearer's pants were on show even when she stood up straight. And as for when she walked up the stairs...

I once went to a London teaching conference which is very yo its own arse.

Woman there who must be Senior manager totally encased in leather skirt boots (and jacket. Bondage style

Other colleagues have seen her since. Every time the same.

On left hand only - nails at least 3 inches long, always immaculately manicured and polished, but prevented her doing normal office things like filing, making cup of tea, typing...

In a customer service role, male colleague wearing a HUGE crystal-encrusted cross pendant - mixed feelings about whether this was inappropriate or not?

The number of young woman who turn up wearing what I consider "going out clothes" astonishes me. Backless dresses, 6" platform sandals, skirts that finish mid thigh, body con dresses, false eyelashes, crop tops, back combed hair, chandelier earrings...

They often look lovely, but really not appropriate for a corporate office.

There's a woman where I work who is known for wearing skirts and no underwear. Her job requires that she climbs up stairs and ladders quite often. Why it's especially odd - it's a massively male-dominated company and you get attention whether you want it or not, so going commando is really not necessary.

HazleNut Shock

We've had to issue a dress code in our office for this very reason.

Our 23 year old receptionist kept coming in wearing what can only be described as 'clubbing' gear.

We've been treated to the sight of her in wet look leggings, micro skits with no tights, black bra under tight white shirt, micro dresses. Then there's the orange make up, cow like fake lashes, glitter eye make up, glitter nails, chipped glitter nail varnish with dirt ingrained and dodgy fake hair extensions and weaves.

She's been heard to say that she wont spend money on work clothes as it doesnt matter what she looks like when she's here Shock

Where do they get this information from? She looked normal when we interviewed her. I wonder at what point she just thought "You know what? Fuck it." When it came to getting dressed for work one morning.
