I know the whole office siren thing was really just a fun little trend but it did bring up a conversation about being personally comfortable and confident at work through clothing. Like you said we’re going to be spending a lot of time at work so we may as well be happy with how we are presenting ourselves during working hours. I think there’s always a way to showcase your personal style at work and stay within the dress code, it can be challenging for sure but I find that to be fun as well

I know! Completely agree— it’s so important to feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself at work and the office siren trend definitely brought the conversation into the public sphere (in a way it hadn’t been before)

the conversation you bring up about personality at the workplace is so refreshing. i’ve only really seen criticism of the whole office siren trend and although some of it is for good reason (like when it starts looking like the hot secretary thing you mentioned), i do find there to be a dismal lack of emphasis on personal style while at work

I could tell the office siren trend was just good fun, especially once people started bringing computers and work wear to the literal ocean😭😭. But actual corporate baddies were in a tizzy about it. There doesn't seem to be a ton of convo about bringing your personality to your soul-sucking corp job, just criticism from older colleagues that boils down to "you kids these days" *shakes fist.
