Whether it's a leather version or a blazer, throw or drape a jacket over your sleeveless pieces so your shoulders won't be exposed.

Want to rock a crop top? No problem! Avoid revealing too much skin by evening things out with a high-waisted bottom.

Minis weren't made for the office, but you can get away with wearing one if you layer it over a longer skirt.

6 Button Up

A cool new trick to get away with something strapless? Rocking a button-front top over your dress or shirt, rather than under it. Then give it a fashion-forward spin by only fastening the first few buttons and leaving the rest open.

7 Get Matchy-Matchy

So, you want to wear shorts to the office? Just make sure they blend in with the rest of your look. Go with a longer-length top of the same material or pattern, and let your bottoms peek out ever so slightly. It'll look like one piece, and no one will be the wiser!

Sheer is definitely risky, but as long as you're covered underneath, there's nothing to worry about. Wear a shorter, solid option underneath a sheer maxi, or pair a see-through shirt with a cami or tank.
