Long Skirts/Capris Allowed?

Should decent long skirts and/or long capris allowed in an office or not?
Please give your opinion.

Dear Meenu,
Long skirts will be fine for office. My previous company (MNC) policy does not allow short skirt or deep necked dresses as it leads to sexual harrassment. And I too agree with the company policy.
Policies differ with companies based on their respective comfort.

Depends from person to person, some companies are allowing these dresses on the other hand some are not. Nothing bad seems in it. We should do it.
Thanks.

Hi
Skirts can be worn on Saturdays, but to maintain the professionalism one should be in proper attire on weekdays because you might be being noticed by the mgmt for appraisals. Mgmt usually select people who represent themselves as professionals.

Long Formal skirts are perfect for Office Wear, but Capris are too casual and informal. One feels awkward wearing them.

I completely agree with nidhi singh...long formal skirts are fine as long as they are not too tight and eye catchy....capris can b worn on fridays or saturdays...on other days it wud b 2 informal...and may not look professional....

Dear Meenu
Like others..... its completely depends on your company's policy. Also the management's and employees acceptance for the casual dressing in the working hours is must.
Rest like Makrand says...everything is possible in today's world.

Professionals abroad ( SE Asia/Singapore/China) popularly wear formats like suits with miniskirts too and the inherent Indian culture draws no walls. Always the focus must be to ensure that clothes must fit well into organization culture /employee job role & neighbourhood to avoid any misuse of freedom, distraction to staff or wrongful attention.
Yet the cases of sexual harrassment have no link to clothes and must be pursued vigorously by HR.

meenu,
Company either design its own uniform or enact a dress-code. The dress-codes are normally in the form of recommended limits of acceptance. In such case there no harm in allowing attires like 'Long Skirts' or 'Caprice' so long it is within the recommended limits of dress-code. Women have a natural tendency to wear fancy attires but it does not allways harm office culture unless it has abnormal cuts or revealing. Any extra-smart move to cheat the code can be skillfully handled by HR Manager.

Dear Meenu
As far as my opinion is concerned v ppl go to ofc 4 our work not 4 showing clothes
and no doubt if sm1 is in any different kind of dress it will distract the mind of others from their work.
so only formals shud b allowed.
