Outfit question...

[piper]

Would you wear a maxi skirt to a business casual (more casual than business) office?

[piper]

I think I am safe for meetings and the majority of my team will be on the road. 

I just want to be comfy tomorrow.

Never. It's not business casual.

But you know your office.

We don't.

[snipsnsnails]

Yes

[game blouses]

I would. But my supervisor often comes to work in the outfit she's going to wear at her lunchtime yoga session, so my office is quite casual.

[downbythebay]

I do but only on Fridays.

[Yankees21]

My office is more casual than business, but I would. True business casual though, no.

I totally would.. I'm on the "long skirt" train.

When I first typed that, I wrote long sqirt. squirt. gross.

Lol, long squirt.

A long skirt does not a maxi make.

What you've described is not a maxi.

[Deleted]

The rules? What does that even mean?

Just Google-image "maxi skirt" or "maxi dress."

They are not straight. They are loose and flowing and billow.

[W.T.Faulkner]

Yes, but I'm a teacher in a fairly relaxed environment, so.

Ok so one meeeelllion Nest people said they would wear flip flops to a business casual office but maxi skirts are off limits?

In my day we simply called them LONG SKIRTS.

No.

Not all long skirts are maxis.

A maxi skirt is a subset.

Where is @booby?

Please assist.

I picture something fairly specific when I hear maxi skirt/dress. Usually jersey or cotton, flowy, very casual. Beachy.

[TrickyBob]

When I hear "maxi" I first think of a pad. When I get over that, I think of a jersey knit, beachy, kind of clingy but flowy skirt.

However, I think there are semi decent cotton long skirts that you could wear. I have a tiered eyelet one that I wore when I worked my last job and the required dress was somewhere between business causal and business professional. However, the girl who wore the jersey knit maxi was told not to wear it ever again.

Considering that some people in my business-casual office wear jeans, running shoes, and UK t-shirts to work, I think I look pretty damn professional in this dress with dressy wedges.  Also - I would never in a million years wear flip flops of any kind to the office.  

[piper]

Never with flip flops. It would be more like the outfit that I posted above. The skirt is black and white. I'm thinking of wearing a mint cardigan

I remember that chick. I lost track of her blog. What is the address?

[pantsparty]

No.

[RoxMonster]

I think you look great in the outfit you posted, and I would find that skirt appropriate as long as your office is not super dressy.

[Deleted]

I wouldn't wear that to work.

Again, you know your office.

We do not.

[agnes]

I could get away with that at my work. We're "business casual" with an emphasis on casual.

However I wouldn't wear any kind of long skirt, maxi or not. Just NMS.

[Deleted]

I would go as far as to say that most jersey doesn't belong at work.

Maaaaaaaaybe if it's just black. Maybe.

[Deleted]

I'm glad you've arrived, @booby. LOL.

[thedutchgirl]

No. I mean, maybe if you work at the beach? Or Coachella? Or American Apparel?
