 It's casual Fridays again, and it's summer! But remember that just because it means casual, doesn't mean that you can wear anything inappropriate.
Sometimes, what's acceptable in your personal lifestyles may not be the same for your professional life. When you go to work, take note that you represent your company and you don't want to compromise your reputation for the sake of fashion.
Here are some inappropriate casual office attire:
* Your beach wear. Sure, you can't wait for your vacay to hit the beach, but don't try to accessorize your bathing suits with a fancy belt, or a nice shirt when coming to work, because you can't fool people. In most formal workplaces, shorts deviate from a professional deportment. Unless you work as a lifeguard on the beach, or any related occupations, shorts and bathing suits must be refrained from wearing at offices.
* Any casual office attire that tells, "you're-not-being-prepared-look".

They say that if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. If, let's say indeed if you're allowed to go casual at work but you have a meeting with a big client or a top head honcho, you can at least bring on a classic blazer or a classy shirt, just in case.
* Peek-a-boos, see-through clothes, lingerie, fishnet stockings. It makes your co-workers uncomfy, and it goes without saying: your underwear and skin must not be visible through the clothes you're donning. Well unless...you desperately want to seduce your boss.
*Slippers or flip-flops. Flip-flops are a way of telling others how inconsiderate, (not to mention out of place) you are since you bring down the formality of your workplace.
If you really want an open-toed footwear, opt for dressy sandals instead.
The bottom line is, if you're being given the freedom to choose your wardrobe, don't abuse it. You know what works for you and what's inappropriate. It's inappropriate if it's too scandalous, obscene, it's not respectable and you make others uncomfortable--and you don't want that.
