Miniskirt Biggest Eyesore at Workplace

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Micro-miniskirts may be pleasing on the eye to some, but they're not going down so well in the workplace, a survey revealed Monday.

Revealing clothes that show off too much leg or cleavage and women staggering in "killer heels" are among some of the "eyesores" ranked by respondents to a poll run by job portal site www.career.co.kr.

In the survey of 1,254 workers, about 74 percent said they felt upset with their co-workers' attire. Around 56 percent of them cited micro-miniskirts, or a skirt eight to 10 inches above the knee, as their chief complaint.

Shirts showing cleavage, low-rise pants that reveal underwear when bending over, "killer heels" that exceed 10 centimeters, or outfits that are too flashy were others offered in reference to females.

Stains on shirts made up the lion's share ㅡ at 48.4 percent ㅡ among problems identified among men.

Wearing colorful underwear underneath a white shirt, slippers or sandals and sleeveless clothes to work all raised the frowns of co-workers, the survey said.

But few dare to mention their qualms those who commit a work apparel faux pas.

About 58.2 percent said they just tolerate it, while 18.5 percent said they talk about it behind the person's back. Only 12.5 percent shared their feelings with the individuals concerned, the survey added.

I'm kinda shocked that 74 percent were upset with co-workers attire. People really must be wearing those micro-miniskirts and shirts with stains on workplaces in Korea.

Well to be honest, it's just unprofessional ANYWHERE to be wearing colourful underwear under a white shirt, slippers or sandals, or shirt showing cleavage, or low rise pants, or flashy outfits.

THIS

lol @ more than appropriate icon. XD

[herro-kitty.livejournal.com]

this icon is super useful for so many situations XD

[the-giggly.livejournal.com]

Amen to that! XD

[liime-arix.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

i'm so with you. :/

[purplesky.livejournal.com]

This. :/ I was a bit surprised to see this at all. I would think it'd be common knowledge that that kind of clothing is never appropriate at work. :/ That kind of clothing is for a night out on the town or something, not in a professional environment like your workplace.

Jeez people, get some tact. :/

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

OMG THIS. UGH! It bothers me.

[calandrinon.livejournal.com]

Exactly, and some of those things are tacky to wear in general, not just at the workplace.

I can't stop laughing at this. It might be lack of sleep, but I feel like it's just how insanely ridiculous this is.
Must. Stop. Laughing.

[herro-kitty.livejournal.com]

I laughed @ colorful underwear underneath a white shirt do they have mirrors or what?

[ficcy.livejournal.com]

Under a light, that underwear shines through as if the shirt was see-through, BB. Fairly distracting, I might add.

[herro-kitty.livejournal.com]

he he definitely distracting, when I read colorful underwear for some reason I imagined something like pokemons or hello kitty and it made me LOL

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

I imagine rainbowish-tiedye underwear. It's hilarious. Why would you even wear that to work.

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

you get to see legs and cleavage all day at work and you're complaining?

whatever, man. next you'll complain about your wallet being too big to fit in your pants.

[supervictoria64.livejournal.com]

LOL. Agreed.

[vi-ii-i.livejournal.com]

lmfao

[notlistening-xx.livejournal.com]

i read that as if changmin were saying it, and it fit a little too well XD.

[yumenii.livejournal.com]

LOL ME TOO. XD

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

well, i guess people won't take you seriously if u're wearing micro-mini skirts and flashy outfits.

and what are 'killer heels' actually? :3

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

Probably stilettos.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

but stilettos are fine! :O

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

But they're killer, lol.
I'd think they meant those taller ones, but they just said killer, so idk.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

ahaha i guess u're right. stilettos sure do make legs a lot sexier. X3

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

Oh my. 8 to 10 inches? That is an eyesore.
Cleavage?
Showing underwear when bending over?
Once again, the minority actually tells the person. That's rude, seriously. Tell someone if you think it's inappropriate to their face.

[anicaasharp.livejournal.com]

10 centimeters. ten centimeters is a little shy of four inches.

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. I could've sworn something said inches.
But even 4" is an eyesore.

[carrotsandroses.livejournal.com]

10 centimetres is referring to the heels. The shortness of the skirts are actually 8 to 10 inches from the knees.

[anicaasharp.livejournal.com]

@_@ *downs more coffee*

obviously, the people surveyed aren't in the entertainment industry.

[schizofragile.livejournal.com]

LOL @ cleavage.

Well, if you want to be respected at least don't go to work looking all slutty.

HAAHAH that is so weird. Korea, you appall me sometimes.

[simply-musings.livejournal.com]

Somebody please tell me how this is different from the USA? lol

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

it's not

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

I don't think so, but wouldn't your boss or co-workers tell you something? Or wouldn't you be told to change/go home/leave?

Everywhere I've worked has done so. : /

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

wow i can't believe people are wearing miniskirts at work. that's just unprofessional. :/

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

IA. I'm kind of shocked to hear that this happens a lot or something.

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

sometimes i wear miniskirts with leggings or tights to work and it's not really a big problem. *shrugs* but i suppose it depends on where you go to work.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to imagine this in America, the land of the fatass.

D:

(p.s. I live in America...in the south...I've seen my fair share.)

[polysweet.livejournal.com]

UGH. Girl, I getcha. If I ever see anyone my size wearing a miniskirt in the workplace, I'm quitting. D8

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

AHAHA! I tried joining the Anime Club at my local college, but HELL NAW when they wanted to do cosplay with EXTRA SMALL outfits, XD.

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

LOL THIS.

[hero-jelly.livejournal.com]

Mini-skirts in professional places just look slutty to me.

[beautifiers.livejournal.com]

tbh i don't think it's right for anyone anywhere to wear that kinda shit. so i don't see why designers bother making something that's appropriate for a party or for a person's body with no ass or hips to speak of.

[izabera.livejournal.com]

Korean offices need a dress code! There, problem solved.
