The Three B's of Dress
The Three B's of Dress
There are three things we do not want to see when you provide services for your organization your boobs, your belly and your butt. These are the three Bs to avoid in the workplace dress. For over twenty years I have talked about the prevention of sexual harassment. While the courts have said that provocative dress is not an excuse for sexually harassing someone, when you reveal the three Bs in the work environment, it can create other problems. People may not take you as seriously. People may see you more of a sexual object as opposed to a skillful and knowable employee.
While many employers can no longer tell employees how to dress, I can advise employees about what not to wear. Dress and grooming does matter in the work place. If you want the job, look the part. If you want the promotion, look promotable. If you want respect, dress in a respectful manner.
Below are some general grooming no-nos
Exposing the three Bs
Plunging necklines
Bare bellies
Cracks showing
See-through clothing
Clothing too tight and restrictive
Spandex
T-shirts with messages
Clothing not pressed
Dirty teeth
Bad breath
Body odor
Dirty and/or unkempt hair
Dirty fingernails and/or chipped fingernail polish
Smell of smoke
Heavy scents and heavy makeup
Big jewelry and/or too much jewelry
Flip-flops
It is important to look at the effect appearance has on you and others.

I can imagine my husband was amused at such a site but I was appalled. So in hopes of helping young people improve their professional imagine I am sharing the following information.
