Pulling off a crop top on the weekend is one thing. But at the office? That's a whole different ball game. Whether or not you've got to follow a strict dress code, you still want to appear polished and sophisticated. How else would you garner respect from all your co-workers?
The good news is, there are plenty of variations of the minishirt for you to work with — as long as you follow some very specific styling rules. Ahead, we've broken down five totally different ways for you to sport the style — from the demure, Monday morning midi skirt look all the way to casual Friday. Here's to feel-good weeks that seem just as short as that top of yours.
Monday Midi Skirt
A pleated printed skirt that hits you below the knee is completely work appropriate. Flatter your waist with a tighter tank, neutral heels, and a couple standout accessories. If it's cold in your office, slip on a soft cardigan or sweater. Or, for a little more structure, try a streamlined blazer or jacket.

Tuesday Trousers
Never underestimate the luxe appeal of sweatpants. When paired with eye-catching wedges and a breezy top, you'll look as sleek as you would in a LBD. To take this outfit to the next level, add your own quirks like a bra with asymmetrical straps and leather bracelets.

Tank Dress Wednesday
This one's the ultimate cheat; find a boxy crop top with a vibrant pattern. Bonus points if it's also embellished with an intricate neckline. Throw it over your standard tank dress, and you'll give off the illusion of a skirt-and-shirt ensemble.

Tailored Shorts Thursday
As long as HR is lax about showing a bit of skin, a sheer-paneled shirt with a bralette underneath will look great paired with crisp, jewel-tone shorts. When it comes to your accoutrements, let them complement the detail of your top.

Casual Friday
Casual Friday is all about feeling comfortable in light of the weekend ahead. Slip on your favorite skinnies, some dainty jewelry, and a loose blouse that's still got some structure to it.
