I do. I'm a teacher. But I'm talking like a sleevless turtleneck. Any tank tops or spaghetti straps either have to be covered wtih a shrug/jacket or worn over another kind of top.

i work in a higher education institution. there is no dress code. unspoken rules are nothing too grungy/sloppy, skimpy/revealing and no shorts.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

Yes I do but I have seen some people who should not be showing armpit. I am not even referring to hairy armpits, it's just that some people have weird looking armpits. Of course I am not referring to anyone here! But, yes I do wear them to work. When I have to dress up for work, I am often in a suit with a sleeveless shell but the jacket stays on in court anyway.

Where I teach, there are teachers who walk around with their whole cleavage hanging of their tank tops! I mean, it's so bad, the only thing u CAN'T see is the nipple!

Seriously, we were sitting at a grade meeting and EVEN I WAS MESMERIZED by this one girl's boobs! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I can only imagine her 6th grade boys!!!!!!Chat Icon

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

I work in a small office & have no dress code. I do wear tank tops but no spaghetti straps. Otherwise, anything goes but I try to keep it neat & not "beachy"

More often than not - I have a cardigan on anyway since it's freezing in my office.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

If you saw the way the slobs walk around in my office you'd be calling Stacy and Clinton to come in ASAP.

So basically anything goes.

I, on the other hand, hold myself to my own "dress code"- I will wear sleeveless, but not spaghetti straps...

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

yes, but they are high cut sleeveless and I usually have a cardigan or jacket over it. I take the jacket off when I am at my desk and put it on if I'm going to another floor or going into a meeting room.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

I don't because it's always freezing in my office, but otherwise I would - as long as it was a top with appropriate coverage, like a sleeveless collared button-down blouse. No straps, nothing low-cut, etc.

No. I'm not a fan of armpits on display in the office. But I'm weird. Chat Icon Some of the other women--including the boss--go sleeveless, so it's technically OK.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

Yes, but they are always modest in the bust, so nothing low cut. I usually have a jacket with me though since it does get cold with the AC.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

nope, don't like my arms enough. even if they weren't yucky, I probably still wouldn't. Like a prev poster said, I'm not a fan of armpits in the office.

No tank tops, spaghetti straps or the like, but yes the ladies here will wear sleeveless tops. Like sleeveless blouses, sleeveless button down shirts, or sleeveless knit tops.

Same for me.

I don't think tank tops are acceptable where I work. They might be considered too casual. Different departments follow their own rules, but the floor I work on is typically more conservative than other floors in my building.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

I think we can, but I choose not too.

I would wear a cardigan over it, but I don't like the way it looks.

At my old job we couldn't wear sleeeveless at all.

Re: Odd question: Do you wear sleeveless tops to work?

I am a teacher and as long as the top is dressy, we are allowed to. I have a tattoo that I try to cover up, so if the shirt doesn't cover it up, I do not wear it.
