Some Don’ts of wearing a t-shirt to work

For obvious reasons, there are some Don’ts that are more or less applicable to almost all offices

1. Make sure the t-shirt is not transparent / see-though. Some t-shirts just are and even when you wear a seamless bra it is visually clear where the cup ends. That sort of t-shirt is not for work.
2. Offensive prints or quotes – It is needless to say your “Fuck everything” t-shirt will not work at the workplace. No brainer right?
3. A crew neck t-shirt is usually not revealing, but V-neck may be or a scoop. Make sure you do not reveal too much when in a tee. But yes, cleavage norms differ from workplace to workplace at times, so you can analyze them on your own pretty well.
