Guidelines show what's right for wearing to work



NEW YORK (AP) -- Here's a hot topic: What summertime garments are appropriate for work?
The Worth Collection offers some answers:
UAre bare arms acceptable? Some corporate dress codes, especially in the banking, law and investment industries, specifically prohibit sleeveless tops, but usually such tops are OK if worn as part of a polished look. Try a tank or shell with a cardigan or jacket; this way you can bare arms at your desk but cover up for meetings.
UAre capri pants too casual? Capris have become a summer staple yet still look professional when done in lightweight wool, linen or cotton sateen. A kitten heel would complete the outfit. In general, longer capris are a little dressier than shorter ones, which ideally are paired with flats, slides and thong sandals.
UIs the miniskirt a do or a don't? It can be a do, if the skirt isn't too short or brightly patterned. Also, wear a mini with a subtle top and fairly conservative shoes.
UWhat's best to wear under sheer summer fabrics? Choose flesh-colored undergarments rather than white. Also, a patterned sheer fabric provides more coverage than a single, light color.
