what about cropped pants or capris? i have some slacks that hit mid calf and i think they look fairly professional.......with a closed toe shoe of course! i am in a corporate accounting dept and the dress code says no sandals but EVERYONE here wears 'em..........definitely agree that flip flops are never ok for work (and many other places)......thanks for the feedback!

Sandals are fine, not "flip flops" or "slides" but good looking, well made sandals, reason for me is that they are very sloppy looking and the noise they make (flip flop) when walking can be very distracting in an office enviorment. BUT, the one thing I must point out is ladies PLEASE, PLEASE make sure you feet are well maintained, moisturized and your toe nail polish is not chipped, nothing is more of a turn off as seeing cracked skin on heels and toe nails that are not clipped!

I would say open toe sandals are a no no. Expensive closed mules would be acceptable if worn with sheer stockings, no bare feet. Bare feet are really not that attractive, despite what Hollywood shows. Regular high heeled pumps are always the classic chioce and come in so many styles and colors. Hose should also be worn, I hate pantyhose so I wear ultra sheer stockings and a garter belt. They are so light and comfortable, and never bunch or catch like lycra pantyhose.

Honestly, it depends on the sandal. If the sandals are professional and made out of nice quality material, it's alright to wear in a business environment. If you decide to lack in some area, such as the shoes you're wearing, then counteract it with a nice shirt. It's important to be comfortable at work.

Flip-flops no. Nice sandals, they should be allowed as long as they are in nice condition...same as with slides. Also, the persons feet shouldn't be all yucky either, (i.e. nails, etc....good grooming pertains here). I used to work for a company that wouldn't allow us to wear open toed or open heeled shoes...was so hard to find stuff to wear when everything was the opposite!

Western type matches; pants or skirts. In different international places, it potential classic clothing. human beings does no longer be stricken about your make up, your stockings or pantyhose, your open toed shoes or sandals. pretty in a company the position it exists for the sake of modern-day and under no circumstances for its' function. would nicely be for the first 12 months of work if you're a clean worker, you take care of how you look. After the first 12 months once you comprehend the authentic difficulty, you'd be somewhat extra informal.

Definitely, but beware of flip flops! We just got a memo about the dress code....and I'm wearing really cute sparkly flip flops! Oops!

I think is ok, provided they are tasteful. I work in a Pediatrics department for a major hospital and open-toed shoes seem to be completely a-ok

Nope, it is totally unprofessional to do that even on Casual Fridays! It gives off a bad vibe to people that are going to invest, at a business.

no, very unprofessional. i work in a law firm downtown San Francisco and if i came in wearing open-toes shoes i'd be in trouble.
feet are sort of personal and no one should be obligated to see your feet.
