Ultra-casual Office Wear

If it's casual Friday and you're going to wear jeans, select dark jeans with straight legs if you're petite. It's also a good idea to keep a jacket on hand in the office.

In ultra-casual offices, even T-shirts and jeans may be acceptable. Just remember to reflect the office culture. If the boss is wearing a T-shirt and nobody thinks it’s odd, it’s OK for you to do the same. Don’t wear ripped or slashed jeans though, even if others do. And go for the dark denim, rather than the lighter or washed denim. Dark denim and straight legs on jeans give petites a longer, leaner appearance.
