However, allow us to offer a few tips. Don't revealĀ cleavage, it's never appropriate. If you have a low cut top that works with your outfit, be sure to layer a camisole underneath. Do show off your arms. It's ok to expose themĀ in the office, but skipĀ spagetti straps, whichĀ are always a no-go. Sheer can also work beautifully but, again, you must layer a cami underneath.
